Sunwayfoto Leveling Base Review

Another awesome video review from the team that brought you The Nice Clip Want to make your tripod a million times more useful? This is the DYH-66X levelling base from Sunwayfoto. It provides +/- 16° of tilt, is fluid dampened, and has a scratch-resistant, anodised black finish
