I'm revising my tripod system and looking for a leveling base that does not tighten up when panning right.
I'm currently using a Leofoto LB 60 and it has worked flawlessly for the past 3 years. With a new carbon tripod coming in soon, I wanted to go to a different style leveling base but have heard of complaints that some of the leveling heads tighten up when panning to the right.
Some shooters have modified the leveling base to prevent this from happening, but they never explain what they did. The only leveling base I know that will not lock up is one made by Warrior Tripods. I've done quite a bit of searching, but haven't come up with anything yet.
I'm looking for how to mod or a base that is not too expensive. Since the Leofoto has worked out so well, I'll continue to use it until I can find the base I'm looking for.
