Sunwayfoto LB-68 leveling base

By Warren J.

I use these excellent leveling bases on every tripod I own to get a quick level horizon with a spotting scope! Especially when digiscoping with a spotting scope. I also use them on my Series 2 tripods for photography work. The three-four wings make them easy lock, and unlock with the neuropathy in my hands. Definitely worth their cost,

Leveling Base Works Perfect - Pair With Sunwayfoto DT-03

I have been struggling for ages to take weight off while maintaining independent axis control on panoramas. The LB-68 + DT-03 combo does that. But you do need an L-Bracket on your camera as well. This excellent pair is better, lighter, and much cheaper than the Really Right Stuff ball and socket setup + RRS monoball head that I had been using. And I no longer need the single-axis monoball head. New weight 1lb 5 oz. old weight 2 lb 6 oz!
