----- Original Message ----- From: "miglsd27" Thank you all for your replys. What I was looking for was something like what I have in our Vinten tripod, a ball based head, that levels the head only. Adjusting the tripod legs always leaves me sideways when I pan, I hate that. But I see there aren´t many options, altough Manfrotto does seem the best option. For me, an horizon that is not horizontal on the frame (does this make sense?) is more disturbing than a squeeky or bouny pan or tilt movement. But maybe thats just me ;). ===========================
It won't be "sideways when you pan" if the tripod is level (that was the point of adjusting one of the legs) A suggestion: see if you can find a circular level. Some tripods have this built in, but you can buy a general purpose one that is somewhat bigger than a built-in one .. but will work for setting up the tripod. It's a round device with two or three concentric rings and, of course, a small bubble of air inside. It helps to level in two dimensions ... more like 360 degrees. Unlike a conventional "ruler" level that is designed to level only in one dimension.
