Until now I had always tedious leveled each tripod leg of my Manfrotto 055 MF3, which was time-consuming and unreliable. In between, I had also tested a leveling of Nodal Ninja, unfortunately that was not the optimum. The MDEVE center column exact leveling of the tripod head succeeds now within a few seconds, while the leveling also holds a Nodalpunktadapter including full-frame camera and lens easily and very firmly in the Lot. The integrated spirit level is the way of high-quality, no comparison to many other Levels. The center column is solid and of high quality and also adjusts the brand new Manfrotto tripods of the 055er series. This this is not very convenient part is also a safe investment if I should buy a new tripod. The only complaint is the lack of eye bottom, where you could attach a tripod strap or a counterweight to increase stability. Manfrotto should take a combination of tripod and the MDEVE center column to the standard program!
