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.
