This lightweight CNC machined 1/2 ball level weighs 185g and has a load capacity of 22kg, and is designed to tilt ±15° and rotate 360° using the one easy grip locking knob. It also includes a clear spirit bubble to check that your tripod head and camera are perfectly level in seconds, whatever the terrain. The level comes with a built in 3/8" thread in the base that is factory fitted with a 1/4" adaptor, ensuring that it will fit onto any tripod or monopod.
That said, the base of this model is 55mm, so is designed to be most full sized tripods, but other sizes are available. The number in the model name relates to the base diameter in millimetres (for example LVL-42 has a 42mm base). On top of the level is a 1/4" thread which allows any tripod head (or camera) with a 1/4" thread to fit, and it includes a second 1/4" to 3/8" adaptor to allow any tripod head to fit.
