This Think Tank Changer 50 looks like it makes just about the perfect cover. I just ordered one for my tripod head- the cube C1. By my measurements it should just fit snugly over the head. Good recommendation!

The great tripod & head thread!

I can happily report that this tiny little tripod has no problems holding the H3Dii + 80mm lens - even 45sec exposures are perfectly sharp. To be fair it also wasn’t very windy: around 15km/h, but steady as I was at the coast.After my frustrating experience this morning (see image thread) I was looking for tripod heads and stumbled across this very interesting Rollei tripod:
https://www.rollei.com/tripod-urban-traveler-22748-en-eur
It's not really made for MF except for maybe the X1D / GFX50R with one of the lighter lenses. But it has a very interesting head - at least I've never seen an integrated leveling base in a tripod this small & light. Seems perfect for hiking

I ordered one even though it was not exactly what I was looking for originally
I can post a behind the scenes once I‘m back at my computer next weekend

If the cube doesn't fit in it, I will fit here, I use it for the Cube GP, fits great, padding is good but not bomb proof.

Hi, I know this is an old post, but do you know how Precision Camera Works dealt with the thin, flat plate below the RRS clamp? That plate has four holes that act as a detent together with one ball bearing trapped in a hole on the p0 side. Specifically:
1) Do you know if that is the original plate that came with the p0 or something Precision provided as part of the mod?
2) If the original plate, did the bond it to the rear side of the RRS clamp, or is it just held in place by the bolt?
I have the same p0h and the RRS clamp, and have preliminarily attached the clamp using the original Arca plate just with the bolt. When sufficiently tightened it seems to work fine, but I am a little concerned that if I don't bond the plate, the plate might shift out of place, rendering the detent non-functional. Thanks!

Please excuse my perhaps dumb question, what is the yellow device? Level, lightmeter?

I need some advice to get around a problem I've ran into.
I got such a good deal on a GT4542LS that I just had to get it and in the process I sold off my GT3541L with a Markins base for more.
The problem is that the panning lock on my Arca Z1 does not fully clear the systematics flat disk.
I can lock it and unlock it - if I make sure it's within the correct 240° rotation.
And as my plan was to get the Arca Core L60 as well to complement my Z1 for architectual work I notised that the Leveler also have a locking lever close to the foundation.
I found an old Novoflex panorama plate I had, which do solve this but I don't like adding another component to the mix though.
A 3mm solid aluminum plate would be enough, without panning function.
Do anyone have an idea on where to find one or could offer a functional solution for both my Z1 but also a future purchase of a Core L60?

I have the same head and tripod, with the same issue. Acratech makes a spacer that raises the head off of the platform to give it clearance. https://www.acratech.net/ballhead-riser-raises-your-ballhead-on-tripod-plateform/ Or, you could always have a machine shop mill you a plate of your desired height and diameter tapped 3/8" on the bottom and studded on top.I need some advice to get around a problem I've ran into.

Thank you DocH.
That’s one solution. It builds a bit much perhaps but I’ll look into it.
Getting a shop to produce a slim one would be an option as well. Didn’t think of that.
I’ve looked at some spare parts for Monopod top plates as well but did not find a suitable one.

An Arca Quick Link set would also do the trick
