I am a wildlife photographer who uses gimble heads and values the ability to quickly level my tripod while the intended subject is still there to be photographed. Thus, head leveling devices which avoid the need for leg adjustment are important to me. (I would not buy a tripod for use with a gimble head without also buying a head leveler.) On another of my tripods I had the original version of Gitzo's head leveler. Although it was a big improvement over not having one, it did not operate as smoothly as the current version. I am unsure whether the difference was with the ball or the socket, but the combination of the newer leveler with this socket move significantly smoother and more quietly than their predecessors. I would recommend this product to anyone considering buying a head leveler for a heavy duty Gitzo tripod for which it was designed to fit. (One needs both a ball and socket to self level a tripod head.)
