NEEWER Tripod Head Leveling Base Camera Leveler, Aircraft Grade Aluminum Alloy 3 Axis Tri Wheel Head, 3/8” Thread, -5° Precise Angle Adjustment for Macro Panoramic Photography, LP64

As one astro-junkie to another, you know your can never have enough scopes. So, I picked up an alt-az Smartscope. I had a tripod, but I always have to carry my scopes out to my side yard when there's a chance of actually doing some photography. Neewer has been getting into the astro game for at least 10 years now that I'm aware of, and they have always delivered quality gear at a nice price point, and if your in astronomy, you know how dear purchases can be. This is my third leveler, I use them on all my active scopes, and I have no complaints. Fit and finish are what you would expect for astro gear, heafty construction, maybe brass and anodized aluminum? In any case, you have weight and substance in your hand. It is well designed and machined, and very easy to use. No matter where I set up, I can get a level in less than 15 seconds. It's just like leveling a transit. Two hands working together, you get the technique after a night or two. They are even on my EQ mounts, even if not exactly necessary; I just like the extra sense of security of having a level mount.

I picked this up to use with my smart telescope, and it's been a great addition to my setup. The leveling base allows for smooth, precise adjustments, which makes a big difference when dialing in positioning — especially on uneven surfaces. The build quality is excellent. It feels sturdy and well-machined, with a nice weight that adds stability without being bulky. The knobs turn smoothly and lock securely, and the overall design is compact and easy to integrate into a tripod or mount. For the price, it offers great value, especially compared to more expensive options with similar functionality. If you're looking for a well-built, easy-to-use leveling base for photography or astronomy, this one definitely delivers.

This is a super easy leveler and much easier and better than adjusting the level by adjusting the tripod legs. It is a 4 star if you level it external to the program because you cannot see the bubble after the scope is attached and thus must level the tripod before you place the scope on the tripod. The perfect was to level obviously is in program itself and for this it is a definite 5 star. It is sturdy and very well made and a good value for the price.

We tried one of these on an old low mount of ours with a Davis and Sandford fluid head just to see if it was stable enough to handle a 21 pound camera/ lens/battery assembly. Even though these are made primarily for the DSLR/tiny camera crowd, it handled the Alexa OK. I'm not sure about the 33 pound rating.

I love when something works like it’s supposed to. I use this for leveling my Seestar smart telescope.

Very well made and easy to use. Adapts well to most mounts and is very sturdy

Works great, easy install, build quality is high, nothing bad to report!

This is a must have accessory for the Seestar Alt/Az mode on a small travel tripod where you at limited to minimum equipment. It saves time instead of having to adjust the tripod legs. The SeeStar is designed for minimum set up and ease of use. This accessory is worth the money.

Article livré à l’heure et dans d’excellente conditions. Produit parfait et de grande qualité qui convient parfaitement à mon équipement de photographie panoramique.

Cumplió con las expectativas al 100%! Ahora puedo nivelar mi telescopio sin problema alguno.

Es ist gut zu bedienen und die Einstellschrauben sind gut gängig. Das Besondere ist bei dieser Basis der größere Ausgleichswinkel.

Acquistata per rendere più facile e veloce la messa in bolla del Seestar S50. Ho sostituito la testa a sfera originale del treppiede che avevo acquistato con questa base di livellamento, e ora l’aggiustamento orizzontale del Seestar, tramite l’app dedicata, richiede pochi secondi. Dopo aver fatto una messa in bolla approssimativa del treppiede, ed averci avvitato sopra il Seestar, basta regolare le 3 rotelline fino a quando i due cerchi nell’app Seestar coincidono. Questo dispositivo a mio parere può far risparmiare parecchio tempo.

If you're into landscape photography, particularly panoramas, it's best to have the camera sitting exactly horizontal to ensure that the separate images line up correctly. This can be done by adjusting the legs, but it's a fiddly business. This nifty little device fits between the tripod and tripod head and makes it easy to achieve the required result. It has a circular bubble level and two tube levels to show when all is correct. It adds a little height, but this can be an advantage in some situations. It screws onto the tripod using a standard thread, and the tripod head is screwed onto the top. You can now rotate the camera in the horizontal plane with confidence, knowing that your images will all be aligned. It doesn't add much weight, so those long treks between locations aren't going to be more tiring for you. The thumbscrews can be locked in place once everything is level, though I've never found this to be necessary, and it's easily unscrewed from the tripod for transport. All in all, it's a very useful accessory.
