Category: Accessories

The LVL-65 incorporates a universal levelling system that can be attached between the top of any tripod and the tripod head, to allow you to level your tripod in seconds on any terrain. 

This lightweight CNC machined 1/2 ball level weighs 250g and has a load capacity of 26kg, and is designed to tilt ±15° and rotate 360° using the one easy grip locking knob.  It also includes a clear spirit bubble to check that your tripod head and camera are perfectly level in seconds, whatever the terrain.

The level comes with a built in 3/8" thread in the base that is factory fitted with a 1/4" adaptor, ensuring that it will fit onto any tripod or monopod.  

That said, the base of this model is 65mm, so is designed to be attached to larger full sized tripods, but other sizes are available. The number in the model name relates to the base diameter in millimetres (for example LVL-42 has a 42mm base).

On top of the level is a 1/4" thread which allows any tripod head (or camera) with a 1/4" thread to fit, and it includes a second 1/4" to 3/8" adaptor to allow any tripod head to fit. 

Larger heads with a 3/8" thread will need an adaptor, but this should be provided by the brand as standard. If the brand does not offer an adaptor, or you're using an older tripod where the adaptor has been lost, then you can click here to order a suitable 3/8" to 1/4" adaptor here.

To fit this levelling adaptor, simply:

  1. Remove the tripod head from your tripod (please note that you may need to loosen the locking screws built into the top of the tripod);
  2. Screw the adaptor onto the top of the tripod and tighten the locking screws to ensure a solid fit;
  3. Screw the tripod head onto the adaptor then tighten the locking screws built into the 1/2 ball level using the 2.5mm hex key provided to ensure a solid fit.

Perfect for:

  • Creators who use their camera for video, but don't want to invest in a dedicated video tripod;
  • Landscape photographers who want to level their tripod in seconds on any terrain;
  • Wildlife photographers who aren't using a gimbal;
  • Sports photographers wanting a little more control on their monopod when sitting pitch side for that perfect action shot;
  • And much, much more...

The series comes in a choice of five sizes to find the best match for your tripod(s), and these are summarised below:

Jacob ★★★★★

Getting this set up between my tripod and head was effortless, and the 65mm base locks down securely even on uneven ground. The universal levelling dial lets me fine-tune in seconds, which has saved me so much frustration on rocky terrain.

Alexander C. ★★★★★

The 65mm base fits my existing tripod perfectly, and the levelling mechanism makes setup on uneven ground effortless. I was able to adjust it in seconds on a rocky hillside, which saved me so much frustration.

Andrew ★★★★★

Screwing this between my tripod top and ball head took two minutes, and now I can level on a slope without fiddling with the legs at all. The 65mm base fit my head straight out of the box. Should've bought one years ago.
