Battery for illuminating level bubble? I can't seem to find out what battery my tripod head requires to illuminate the leveling bubble. Any ideas?
Asked by: Thomas
Batteries included. I just bought this (06-17-23) and they shipped it with the two batteries needed for the level bulb light, and the APR system.

question

I shoot HS hockey. In some rinks it may be necessary to remove the ground level spreader. Can this be easily done? Thank you!
Asked by: Joel
Yes, it will be easy to remove the ground level spreader. We also have this same tripod in a kit with a Mid-Level Spreader if that will be a better choice for shooting Hockey.https://bhpho.to/2DxRwvH
