In-Apex Leveling Base
YB-75 – If you have a systematic style tripod with a modular apex, then one of the YB-75 leveling bases is the best option. It keeps the center of gravity low and the large 75mm ball makes fine adjustments easy, while providing a large contact area for good grip. The long column (YB-75LP) is the most convenient option, but it does not allow using the tripod in its lowest position. If you shoot in prone position a lot, then the short column (YB-75SP) is the better option.
LC vs. LP?
The models with a ‘P’ at the end have a flat top with a 3/8” mounting screw – ideal for mounting a tripod head on. For 99% of shots, this is the ideal option.
The models with a ‘C’ at the end feature a lever-release clamp at the top. This is designed for rifle/gun use, where the leveling base acts as the head and the rifle can be installed directly in the leveling base.
