big green,

theres the quick tilt leveler from kaidan.

dave from 360texas uses it.

i use a bogen joystick 3265 and smooth uses that as well.

I have a manfretto 190/jf24 tripod and I recently purchased a manfretto 3416 leveling head to use with my new setup.

The 3416 is a very  nice piece. It is well made and of heavy duty construction. It has a small spirit level on the base. Whch is a little lacking. It would be nice if it was a little bigger. But you should use a hot shoe leveler in addition because you want the "camera" to be level not just the base.

With this leveler you can level the tripod head but with the camera attatched

Any way I have been using this leveler for a few weeks now and It is great. I have seen others but the construction seemed lacking or they were to "gadgety"

This is a nice simple leveler made of machined steel and thick brass thumb screws that are easy to manipulate.

"A levelling centre column? A levelling base? Both???"
Hummmm.... I think as far as VR stuff goes the simpler you can keep it than the better off you will be. I have the tripod + 3416 leveler + Agnos rotator + camera and thats it.

You could stack a fancy 3 axis ball head and a 3416 leveler together or add other levelers in between but that sound to complicated too me.  Too many oppturnities to make a mistake. Too many adjustments to fiddle with. Time is money.

Gen. Lee

the 3416 has gone down in price. thus making it more affordable than the quick tilt leveler from kaidan. good call gen lee.

the 3265 is about the same price as the 3416.

i can tell you that the joystick is bulky and weighs more than the camera and fisheye togehter. but is very easy to use and has quick release plates which makes set ups fast!

i guess it depends on your taste.

how many cameras are u using?

i think is better to use 2 cameras each with the setting and lens u want.

each with a quick release plate. this way you can attach and disattached

easily on 1 tripod with its 1 column.
