p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Gitzo leveling base -- dumb question


I just bought a used Gitzo leveling base model G1321. I think I see how to use the leveling feature, but I don't see what the knob near the top is for. It's attached to the head screw, and it travels in a slot about 3 inches long. As I said, it's a dumb question -- what does this knob do? Why a slot?

Just Google gitzo G1321 youtube and somebody has probably posted a video review of this leveling base.

The use of the knob on the lever is to do a final tightening. With the lever in the "loose" position, you install what ever you want on the projecting threads to slightly tight, and then move the lever to finish the tightening. It works pretty well for that use, holding the ball head or what ever on very firmly.

Yes, that makes sense. Thanks so much.
