Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will the GSLVLS fit on an older Gitzo 3541 LS or 5541LS tripods ?

A: This should fit just fine for the 3 series however for the 5 series you will need a bowl adapter.

Q: 2. What is the maximum degrees this will tilt forwards?

A: Gitzo GSLVLS Leveling Base for Systematic Tripods is a leveling base. So, like most leveling bases they are not made to tilt a huge amount. Manfrotto does not list the amount. But with it in a 75mm bowl as it needs to be in my guess is around 7 degrees or so. It is really to fine to the level.

Q: 3. Can you fit a RRS bh55 on this levelling base and still have the levelling base function?

A: The Really Right Stuff BH-55 Ball Head will work without issue on this leveling head. Virtually all 3/8" tripod heads will as well.

Q: 4. What size screw holds the ball to the head, 3/8" or 1/4"? I need a ball w/a 1/4" screw.

A: The Sirui 75mm Leveling Ball Set for R-X Series Tripods has a 3/8"-16-size screw to mount to tripod heads.

Q: 5. What is the diameter of the base, where it connects to tripod?

A: The diameter of the bottom of the Leofoto LBQ-50S Leveling Base for LG/LQ-Series Tripods (Black) is 1 1/4".

Q: 6. Will this work with a RRS bh-30 ball head and a Gitzo 2545 tripod?

A: Yes the Leofoto LB-60N Leveling Base is compatible with both the Gitzo 2545 tripod and the RRS BH30 head.

Q: 7. I have a Gitzo G1327 tripod would this fit? Would I need any other attachments other than my ball head?

A: No it will not. Your G1327 has a center column. This base is for a Systematic tripod with a 75mm bowl mount.

Q: 8. How's the range of motion of the leveling system? I just tried a Manfrotto 75mm half ball on Sirui R2214x legs and the range of motion was so limited it made it unusable on anything but near level ground. I assume this is better? (and perhaps matching a Manfrotto/Manfrotto setup?)

A: The SIRUI R-2214X is a rather small tripod and is limited for that reason. Another tripod altogether is recommend.

Q: 9. Can I put a head on these legs with a 75mm bowl? Specifically sachtler ACE M

A: Yes, you would have to remove the Leofoto tie-down from the tripod and use the tie-down that comes with the Ace Head. But the Leofoto LVC-193C Carbon Fiber Tripod with Leveling Base has a 75mm bowl that works with 75mm heads like the Sachtler Ace M.

Q: 10. Does anyone know the load capacity (in pounds) of this Gitzo leveling base? I haven't been able to track down that specification (or find the user manual) online. Thanks in advance.

A: It is designed for use with series 3, 4, and 5 Systematic tripod legs. Refer to the manual for the tripod to find the load capacity.
