question
Has anybody bought this to use with the GP ballheads (which already have a levelling feature)?My GP-SS when inverted should be able to do level panoramas but if I need to tilt the ballhead up or down (while maintaining a level pan) I believe this levelling base is required as the ballhead base would need to be levelled first in order to rotate on a level horizon.
I have both, the GP and ACLLB larger leveling base. Even though the GP does have the pano feature, the leveling base makes everything so much easier. I leave it on my tripod all the time and any ball head or pano head I use goes on top of it.

Are there TABLE TOP TRIPODs that are compatible ...
Are there TABLE TOP TRIPODs that are compatible with this leveling base? preferably carbon fiber, but those are pricey.
All of our bases are equipped with a standard 3/8-16 tripod socket, but we include a 1/4-20 adapter with every unit we sell. This allows them to work with just about any tripod on the market, even the table top tripods that will allow you to mount your own head. A quick search on the B & H and I am confused too, but I can tell you which ones we have experienced. The FLM CP10, Berlebach Mini Tripod and on the low end Sunwayfoto T1A11-II.

question
Does this allow for rotation as well as tilt? I want to put it between a tripod and slider, but I can't tell if it will let me adjust the pan configuration relative to the legs as well as leveling.
Yes it does.

Is the tops stud on the Acratech 1117 3/8"-16?
Thanks, Steve
The Acratech Leveling Base, with 3/8" Tripod Thread - Supports 25 lb (11.4 kg), B&H #ACLB, listed above has a 3/8"-16 male thread on the top of the leveling base. If you need the option that uses the 1/4"-20 male thread, you may instead purchase the Acratech Leveling Base for Tripods with 1/4"-20 Thread Head Mount, B&H # ACLBS, for your usage needs.
