Large Leveling Base

Works With the RRS TFC-34 MK2 Tripod and Acratech Panoramic Head (1165)

I purchased this large leveling base to use with my RRS TFC-34 MKII Tripod and the Acratech Panoramic Head (1165). It attaches easily to my tripod and the Acratech Panoramic Head easily screws into the top of this large leveling base. It is easy to use. You adjust the large knob bringing the bubble into the center of the bullseye. Once you have done that you are finished screwing around and can concentrate on taking photos both landscape and portrait modes. This is a great solution for folks that have tripods without a bowl-style configuration. I like the large leveling base since it sticks out further and is easy to see. I have read that the large leveling base is the one to get if you ever plan on mounting a star tracker because the bullseye level is not obscured by the tracker. It does add some height to your setup so using metallic paint I painted stripes on the tripod legs so I could easily extend my tripod legs to the correct height for my eyes with this setup.
