Vanguard just announced the LVL Universal Tripod Leveling System, a set of five leveling bases that fit almost any tripod. Instead of fiddling with tripod legs to get a level shot, you can just adjust the base—perfect for video, panoramas, or shooting on uneven ground.

The bases range from 42mm to 75mm and can handle up to 40kg (88 lbs). They’re made from solid aluminum, weigh between 4oz and 12.5oz, and offer 360° rotation with up to 15° tilt. They install between your tripod’s legs and head, locking in with screws for quick adjustments.

Great for reducing strain during long shoots, these will be available April or May 2025 for $70–$127.
