Rated 5 out of 5

So simple leveling head

Super leveling base that goes with the RRS Apex tripod. Twist the bottom silver pipe and level, twist to lock. Got the unit that has the hook to attach your bag or another weighted item to help hold the tripod still in wind. Has the quick release clamp so you can change it out to any head system you want.

Easiest Leveling Ever

This simple gadget takes ALL the stress out of leveling the tripod. No more adjusting each leg--just 'tweak' this leveling base and you're set. This unit saves so much time and frustration. Just get it.

Time saver!

This is a must have for a tripod. This makes leveling the camera so much easier and faster than adjusting each leg. Once locked down, it is solid and steady. RRS makes quality products and can't go wrong with anything they make.

This is a must have for a tripod. This makes leveling the camera so much easier and faster than adjusting each leg. Once locked down, it is solid and steady. RRS makes quality products and can't go wrong with anything they make.

An essential tool for photographers and videographers, the TA-3 Leveling Base with Low-Profile Knob and Platform is designed to provide a stable and adjustable foundation for a variety of tripod heads, including gimbal heads, pano gear, fluid heads, and ballheads. This leveling base, specifically designed for the RRS Versa Series 3, offers an impressive 15 degrees of leveling capability, ensuring precise alignment for your shots.

With a simple twist, the base locks securely into place, providing a robust and reliable platform for your equipment. The flat platform design allows for direct mounting of a tripod head, while the option of a leveling base with a clamp provides the flexibility of quick-change convenience for multiple tripod heads on the same tripod.

The TA-3 Leveling Base is not only functional but also lightweight. Weighing in at just 12.2 ounces, it's the lightest leveling base in its class, making it an ideal choice for photographers on the go.

This product also features our TA-3-VB Video Bowl, which can remain installed even when the leveling base is removed. The video bowl is compatible with any accessory or head that uses a 75mm Video Bowl.

Experience fluid motion for smooth and fast leveling, regardless of the load, with the TA-3 Leveling Base with Low-Profile Knob and Platform. It's an indispensable tool for capturing the perfect shot, whether you're in the studio or out in the field.
