The LDY-60 Tripod Head Leveling Base from XILETU makes leveling a tripod head quick and simple. Made from lightweight aluminum alloy, it has a quick release control lever for fast adjustment of up to +/-15°, and it can support up to 11 pounds. The 1/4"-20 threaded tip is compatible with many tripod head bases, and an included 3/8"-16 to 1/4"-20 bushing adapter allows most others to be used as well. Three Allen screws securely lock any attached head in place and prevent accidental unscrewing. The base has a 3/8"-16 threaded female receiver, allowing it to be mounted on virtually any tripod leg set. The LDY-60 make it easy to quickly level a tripod head and camera on uneven terrain.

Q: 6. Mechanical drawings available?

A: No mechanical drawings were included with this item. I am not sure if they are available on-line from the manufacturer. The LE-60 Levelling Base does come with it's own allen key, and will fit most tripods. I found it very useful on a shoot outdoors, with my landscape horizons all level, It is a solid piece of equipment, and worked in well between my manfrotto Video head 128RC and my Manfrotto 55CX3 tripod. For heavier video heads, it may not be up to it, but certainly for what I was using it for, it worked perfectly, quite robust and I did not find it difficult to use, once I was familiarised with it. No complaints.

Q: 10. Will there be a parallax issue or an problem finding the nodal point using a 100-400mm lens?

A: The Acratech Panoramic Head with Leveling Base Kit could create parallax issues depending if there is an object close to the camera when you are stitching the image to a panorama. You may want to buy a nodal rail that would allow you to place the camera further back, with the center of the lens over the tripod's center. In that case there won't be any parallax.
