Q: 1. Will this 65mm Leveling Base be a good match for a 60.2mm Tripod Head (Acratech panoramic head)? Or should I get the one that's 60mm Ty.

A: That's fine a couple of mm over the edge is acceptable.

Q: 2. The overview describes the grub screws securing the tripod head to the top of this device, and one of the photos shows an allen wrench going into a hole on the bottom plate. Is this to secure the device to the tripod so it doesn't unscrew?

Q: 3. Can I use this with peak design head adapter or should I go LB-65?

Q: 6. Will this work with other tripods with 75mm bowls? The Robus tripods, for example?

A: The 75mm bowl of the LV-7567 doubles as the mount for the Leveling Base so, in most cases, you will not be able to use the LV-7567 bowl with different makes of tripods. We have not tested the Leveling Base with different makers' bowls but there is a good chance that you could use the rest of the LV-7567, as long as the bottom opening of the bowl is at least 30mm in diameter.

Q: 10. In the LB-90R can the 1/4”-20 top mounting stud be changed to a 3/8”-16 stud?
