OK Im looking to buy a 3 leg carbon fiber tripod from Gitzo with leveling base
What other kind is there? You want a tripod with 4 legs?
I use a 3531LS with the RRS leveling base. I strongly recommend the RRS base as it weighs half as much as the Gitzo leveling base. Here is the one you should order, because it has the longer handle.

Haha!! I made a mistake
Thanks but I'm not looking for RRS

Do you want just the leveling base, so you can remove it from the tripod when not needed? The built in leveling base in the Gitzo LVL tripods is lighter and more compact than adding a separate leveling base to a regular tripod, but it works exactly the same (15 degrees of adjustment, I believe).
From the description on the B&H page: This Leveling tripod has a ball joint-mounted center column designed to let you get your camera perfectly level simply by adjusting the column inclination, instead of having to set each leg individually.

This is exactly what i was looking to get !!
Question for you, Gitzo has lots of tripods do you know of any to spent total of $800.00??
like an older model or something
Thanks for your help

Great choice if you need a 3-series. The LVL class tripods only come in 2-series, which is smaller and lighter, and the center column can not be removed.

as a kit together i will have to say no.
they are coming out with lighter duty models similar to RRS. unfortunately for you they to will command a higher price. they will be the series 2 systematic models.

That new 2-series systematic is actually a few ounces heavier than my GT2540LVL, even without a leveling function, column, and 4-section legs. At that price RRS is looking like the better choice.

I find out 4 section tripods are not my think
I got use to 3 section for 7 years now,I had one and sold it
Thanks again

i use 3 and 4 section models interchangeably. the only 3 section one i have out of the 3 i use is my largest the RRS TVC33 and that is setup with the leveling head. the mid sized one used to be my travel and is still my close up/macro setup which is a Gitzo GT2540ex (explorer) where the 4 section legs are a definite plus. last and the most recent add on is the RRS TQC14 which is as rigid as a 25xx series Gitzo but more compact and lighter but supports in the same range.

When you're dealing with Gitzo's G-Lock legs, the 4-section are just as stable as the 3. Wish I could say I've had experience with the RRS tripods, but it's a sure bet the same is true.
