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.

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: Nick
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.

Is possible to change the top screw for a 1/4 screw?
Asked by: John
The 3/8-16 screw in the Manfrotto 438 Compact Leveling Head - Ball Camera Leveler - Supports 33 lb. (15kg) cannot be removed. You will need to connect a tripod head on top. Most tripod heads offer a quick release system with a 1/4-20 screw.
