Manfrotto 338 Reviews

Leveling Wheels are fine for stationary camera stands.

I don't normally write reviews but since there were more than a few negative reviews about this base I felt the need to offer my experience. The 338 QTVR's construction is very solid, well machined and appears to be incredibly durable. The leveling bubbles seem to be very accurate as well. Most of the negative reviews have issues with the 3 adjustment wheels being too difficult to turn. Based upon the number of these reviews, I was hesitant to try these but figured we could use a pair of pliers to make adjustments if necessary. While the wheels do offer resistance, they are still quite easy to turn using your thumb or fingers. I can see how someone in the field moving from spot to spot needing to adjust them several times would feel they're too tight but for stationary camera stands or tripods, they are easily adjusted. Now to our use case, in an auditorium using anchored camera bases these were absolutely perfect. We had no difficulty using the wheels to get both leveling bases set level and they work great with the 502AH heads. I'm glad I took the chance and tried them, would highly recommend for anyone looking for an inexpensive solution for stationary camera locations.

I bought this to compliment the 303 QTVR unit, the adjustment screws are very tight and difficult to use. There are other base revelers out there that are faster, and easier to use.
