Quick Start Guide

EZ-Leveler II (EZ-L II) allows fine level adjustment of the mounted device. By simply
turning 3 rollers, adjustment of the level is easy and smooth. There are locking
knobs to cancel out backlash and prevent accidental change of level. It is
lightweight, compact, and smartly shaped to minimize the nadir footprint when
taking spherical panoramas. Its "Head Alignment Knob" allows a pano head with an
indexed rotator to point in any direction without moving the tripod. Alternatively, it
allows aligning of EZ-L II edges to the tripod legs to minimize the nadir footprint.
NOTE: EZ-L II does not incorporate its own bubble level. It requires the
mounted device to have a bubble level or other level reading capability.
Stand in a position so that 2 rollers (1
and 2) are horizontal in front of you.
Look at the bubble from vertically
above. Adjust the horizontal rollers to
center the bubble horizontally.

Install the 3/8” to 1/4” adapter if the
tripod has a 1/4” thread. If tripod top
plate has bare metal surface, consider
adding a friction material to prevent
loosening and/or scratching the base
of EZ-L II. An optional cork sheet like

Place the tripod legs in their preferred
positions. Unlock the level locks. Turn
the rollers to roughly the middle of
their full adjustment range. Tighten the
“Head Alignment Knob” (HA Knob) of
EZ-L II to the base. Tighten EZ-L II to
tripod while holding the knob with
fingers.
Mount the tripod head or ball head on
EZ-L II. Mount the camera on tripod
head or ball head. Then roughly level
