CAVIX LP-64 Tripod leveler - Recommended Seestar S50 accessory

I paid $31 for this CAVIX LP-64 tripod leveler with 3/8" nut/bolt size and recommend it for use with the ZWO Seestar S50 smart telescope and carbon fiber tripod.

Although you can level the tripod manually by loosening, moving, and tightening individual legs, this 3 axis thumbscrew leveler makes the job much easier, faster, and more precise. It will even fit into the provided Seestar S50 case under the tripod if you screw it down to the shortest height.

This is a fantastic accessory to the Seestar. I used your Amazon link and will purchase just as soon as High Point Scientific tells me my telescope will ship.

With other lock nuts, you tighten them against the other "nut" -- in this case the the bigger adjustment wheel. This freezes the big wheel from turning.

I have discovered that if I do not lock the 3 axis, level will change quite a bit as the Seestar moves about. Even with everything on a hard surface.

Nice find. I bet this will work with the Skywatcher AZ-GTi too.

Thanks for your video, very great and clear explanation. I just received my leveler. So far I was leveling using the legs and the Level Sensor Calibration switch on the same page is the Adjust Level and it was ok, I even get the 0.0 sometimes but I'm wondering if it will mess up something internally on the Seestar on the long way.
My question is, What is the different between Adjust level and Level Sensor calibration?
Thanks again

I read somewhere that there is supposed to be a small gap between the bottom of the Seestar and the tripod base. I don't have my Seestar yet but wondered if there were any issues using the CAVIX keeping that gap? Apparently if you tighten the Seestar flat against a tripod it can cause the scope not to be able to rotate. Went ahead and ordered the CAVIX because there is some lead time getting one from Amazon. Thanks for the video. Looks like a great addition to the Seestar setup.

I read that this type of leveler contains springs on the base of the adjustment screws that possibly can affect the leveling as the Seestar turns. Have you seen anything like that?

@summetj Is there any difference in th Cavix vs the others that appear the same: Desmond and Neewer for example? The Cavix won't ship until January.
