I use this with my Manfrotto 055XPROB Pro Tripod Legs (Black) and my Manfrotto 488RC2 which has been replaced by the Manfrotto 488RC4 Midi Ball Head with RC4 Rapid Connect System (3271). I also use the Manfrotto 337 Hot Shoe Double Axis Bubble Level with this set up. I am very pleased. The one issue I had when I just had the head and the tripod was that you had to use the legs to perfectly level out the ball head, and in many cases this was very difficult to do. This tool makes it easy. You just set the legs so they are somewhat close, loosen the handle on the 438, adjust the 438 till your ballhead is level, then tighten down the handle and start shooting.
It makes it MUCH easier to level out. It does add some height to the setup (about 2 inches) and a little weight. I do not have exact weight numbers but I do not have an ultralight setup as it was before. I wanted it sturdy. I carry the whole unit strapped to the back of my Kata HB-207 GDC Hiker Backpack for DSLR system or DV/HDV camcorder. (Insertrolly optional) and it fits well. Because I carry it in the center back position that this backpack offers it does not throw the weight of center.
Overall, I am very pleased and highly recommend it if you intend to do a good bit of panorama shooting.
Help answer the question about Replaces Cokin
What kind of problems can I expect after the dealer replaces my bent sub frame on a 2006 LE Hayabusa?
