Arca Swiss floor tiles are precise and durable.On the bright side, I'm glad it didn't crack one of the kitchen flooring tiles ... I don't know whether I could get a replacement tile that matches at this point in time.

I think @dchew can provide step-by-step instructions for how to deconstruct the head (Sawzall not included).thank you so much for the kind offer, Dave!
Id love to take you up on that, albeit that ive never taken one of these heads apart and dont really know hiw to start. Let me think about it a little bit and see if i can figure how to tear it down.
Thanks again!!

I had this tripod and did not find it stable enough except in ideal conditions, I replaced it with Really Right Stuff TFC-14 MK2 for when I need a lightweight tripod and have found it to be a much better solution for me.Does anyone use the Gitzo Traveler Series 0, GT0545T tripod with medium format? Is it stable enough?
How much does it actually weight with the short center column?
That's the smallest Traveler series. It's 1.97 lbs. with the center column. I have the tall version of it, the GT1555 and it's pretty stable but I only use it for my Pinhole cameras and Rollei TLR. I wouldn't put a 500CM on it.Does anyone use the Gitzo Traveler Series 0, GT0545T tripod with medium format? Is it stable enough?

I managed to use a GT1555 with Hasselblad H6D + HTS + lens with good results, but that was inside (churches, for example). I am not sure I would try in the field, and in this case certainly without extending the central column too much, and with the thinest final sections extended at half height. And that would be only if there is not noticeable wind.
How do you like the Cube? Is it worth the price, especially when a monorail camera is mounted on top?
Fully agreed! I use the exact similar combo for all my architectural shootings with the Alpa Plus. Works great but has a certain size and weight - of course. But even in full extension very well usable!Update on my new Gitzo GT5543XLS with Arca Swiss Core 75 Leveler.
So far, all my expectations have been met. The tripod is as stable as my Berlebach, with the added benefit of much greater height. This is what motivated me to buy it. I have yet to do a long exposure on a vibrating bridge, for the final test. This is where the Berlebach excels.
The Core 75 Leveler is much simpler to use than the RRS ballhead. Only one hand is required for adjustments. This is especially helpful when the camera is above my head. If I need extreme movement of the camera, I can use the Core 75 mounted to the ballhead.

Cube is nice but I decided for the Leveler 75. So compact! As I do mainly architecture the +-15° are good enough. If I need 90° I use a 90° adapter by Novoflex with Arca interface.How do you like the Cube? Is it worth the price, especially when a monorail camera is mounted on top?
