Would this work with a Manfrotto Befree GT XPro tripod?
Asked by: Michael
It should as your tripod has the 3/8" Base mount. I have a Manfrotto 502AH Video Head & MT055XPRO3 Aluminum Tripod Kit and I used this leveling head on it.

Would this usable on #075 tripod?
Asked by: Anonymous
I don’t see an 075 tripod on Manfrottos website for photos. Theater is an 057 photo tripod. If that is what you meant, it should work.

Will the bubble scratch if you put a video head that is wider than the top?
Asked by: Andre
It should be fine. My head is bigger and although the bottom of it covers the bubble, there is maybe 1 or 2 mm clearance between the head and the bubble.

Would this head be suitable for a 4x5 field camera?
Asked by: Jim
Yes. I use it with a fairly heavy 4x5. But make sure you have a solid head on top of it. RH

question

does the tightening lever extend below the base of the unit? In other words could this be mounted on a flat plane of metal?
Asked by: Anonymous
I mounted this leveler on a flat plate and could not move the locking lever. I had to use a fender washer between the leveler and the plate to make room. which, of course, allowed the leveler to spin a bit. I then had to tighten it down extremely well to get it to sit still.
