This is a good explanation of using a leveler for pano photography. Thanks.

Thank so much for sharing this information. The tripod leveler is exactly what I was looking for. I ordered one immediately.

I got a camerig leveler which is almost exactly like your neewer, from amazon. I noticed your adjusting wheels moved smoothly but mine has a resistance on the wheels. The locking wheels move ok. I don't know what the neewer sells for but the one I got cost 41.59 plus tax. So thanks for your video it was enlightening. I used to be a transitman in land surveying and use a theodolite which used the three wheel leveling, but with far more precision than your neewer or my camerig. In land surveying I was always readjusting my tripod legs then the final theodolite leveling. Level "panning" was critical.

I bought one of these Neewer levelers for use with my star tracker as it's also important to have perfectly level tripod base when using a star tracker (for taking log exposure Milky Way photos for example. Thanks for the tutorial.

Thanks, I couldn't work out how to use the large and small wheels, now I get it, the small one is a locking mechanism.

really well done video...thanks Alessandro from Italy

thanks, I've just bought a similar one, for this purpose and perfectly explained

What a clear and concise explanation of basic camera settings for panoramas ( I would have forgotten about WB ) . Will be trying the Neewer tribrach soon - the manfrotto 338 seems much more stable but the adjustment "thumb" wheels are often too stiff to be useable ( I have just sent a secondhand one back ). There is an issue though and that is for other than setups where the mass centre is nearly over the centre of the leveller it can lean. Maybe the hald ball joint one is better or else try for another manfrotto Thanks again - great and engaging delivery - I have subscribed.

Thanks for sharing. Very good demo

wisdom and elementary schooling. Love this video. this is actually the the leveling base to keep my tripod leveler in check that seems more accurate to me. spending the time and money to get a photographer to a place e where they want to invest time on photography, this video was well explained. Thank you

Thank you!

Awesome video, really appreciate the information However, am I the only one that has the screws from underneath fall off after a few turns up and down of the thumb wheels? I found this video in search of others with the same issue but I haven't seen anything yet. It's extremely frustrating.

Leverlers are great. RRS is a great USA company

I have had one of these for several months, bought mostly for panoramic photography where the head must be absolutely level. I shoot a Nikon D850with a Samyang 12mm f2.8 fisheye for this. The PEP (nodal) point is toward the front of the lens and must sit over the centre of the tripod to get a good panorama so I use a Nodal Ninja panoramic head to get the camera in that position. Unfortunately the positioning means that the camera body weight is placed several inches behind the centre and the levelling base leans slightly back to one side with the weight of the rig. The camera is not level. The base sits at the bottom of my bag now, unused and I have bought a heavier-duty Manfrotto for the job.

A great leveller has three spirit levels just underneath the QR. If the spirit levels are on the base then the leveller will not work if a ballhead is used. One is alright but three of them at 1/3 intervals around the base works perfectly. My tripod has one leveller and only works on one level. I can level forward/back or left/right but cannot level F/B/R/L worth shit fast.

I bought this to use with my Manfrotto MHPANOVR pano head and found that with any off-axis pressure, such as what you would get by using this with a pano head, this leveller does not stay level.

Leaving head was the title

Took a while for you to get there...6 minutes lol

This Neweer leveller is based on a spring system that wobbles a lot. Therefore this leveller, and basically any other leveller based on a spring system, just won't stay still so you’ll end up with blurred photos. Save yourself some money and a lot of wasted time and shots and buy a proper leveller.

Looking at comments, seems that this is not that much good product. I have seen some half-ball levelling bases on KZread. They may be easier than this one!
