Dark Night Outdoors is proud to introduce a new way to mount your rifle on a tripod!
our new Leveling Base eliminates the weight and bulk of a Ball head and has a lower profile. It utilizes one knob to easily tighten and firmly holds your rifle in place. You can just as easily loosen the knob to allow for full movement in any direction. It includes our universal Heavy Duty Top Plate (select below) that accepts Picatinny Rail or Arca Swiss Plates. The leveling base's low profile reduces weight making your tripod less top heavy resulting in a more stable overall platform. Our leveling base will fit any tripod using a 3/8-16 stud.
A tripod leveling base sits between the tripod legs and your rifle mount and lets you level the top without fiddling with each leg. This 65mm base uses one knob to lock or free it, and it's lower and lighter than a ball head, so the tripod is less top heavy.
Set the legs roughly even on the ground first, then do the fine work at the head. With this base, loosen the knob, tilt the top until the rifle sits level, and tighten it again. That's much faster than adjusting leg lengths on uneven ground in the dark.
