Product Information
Full details
The Andoer LP-64 precision tripod leveling base is an essential tool for landscape and architectural photographers who need perfect horizontal alignment on uneven or rugged terrain. It offers an easy way to fine-tune your camera's horizon without adjusting individual tripod legs; however, it adds a slight amount of height and weight to your existing camera support system.

FAQs
Can I use this with a 1/4-inch tripod mount?
The LP-64 uses 3/8-inch threads. You will need a 3/8 to 1/4-inch thread adapter to mount it on smaller tripods.
How much weight can this handle?
It is rated for a maximum load capacity of 15kg (33lbs).
Does it come with a quick-release plate?
No, this is a leveling base only and is designed to sit between your tripod and your existing head.
Is it weather-resistant?
It features an anti-oxidation treatment, making it durable, but it should be dried thoroughly after exposure to rain or humidity.
Does the base lock in place once leveled?
There is no separate locking lever; the weight of the camera system and the friction of the adjustment screws keep it in place.
What is the tilt range?
The base offers approximately +/- 5 degrees of tilt adjustment.
Troubleshooting
Base feels unstable under heavy load
Ensure all mounting points are tightened securely and that the tripod legs themselves are fully locked.
Adjustment wheels are difficult to turn
Check for debris or grit in the threading. Clean with a soft brush and apply a tiny amount of dry lubricant if necessary.
Unable to get the bubble perfectly centered
Verify that your tripod legs are roughly even to begin with, as the base only provides fine-tuning, not full-range tilt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, screw the leveling base onto your tripod’s 3/8-inch mounting stud. Attach your ball head or panoramic head to the 3/8-inch screw on top of the leveling base. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent wobble. For maintenance, keep the adjustment wheels free of sand and grit, especially after outdoor shoots. Use a dry, lint-free cloth to wipe down the unit and store it in the included carrying bag when not in use to protect the finish from scratches.
