I use the RRS leveler on the RRS 34 tripod. The system works well especially at the shore. The leveler always shifts when carrying the rig on my shoulder. Gitzo 5541 with the Gitzo leveler also works very well but it does shift when carrying on the shoulder. I had an Induro ‘systematic’ tripod with leveler. It worked well but the plastic handle on the leveler did come loose. Fixed that with glue. That also shifted when shoulder carrying. The UuniqueBall head is much smaller and lighter rig than a full gimbal but that will also shift when carrying.
Every leveler that I’ve tried has shifted when shoulder carrying but I still find the leveler useful when I’m shooting near a shore. It’s not important when shooting warblers or sparrows. The viewfinder level is a great innovation but I will frequently be off one or two degrees if I haven’t used a level head....Show more →
Wow, I was hoping this was not something standard. After the incident when mine slipped, I opened one of the legs so that I could get my hand in and was able to cinch it down pretty good and it did not move after that, so that gave me some confident that if I have a longer handle to tighten thoroughly, it should work.
