Bowl adapter or other levelling solution for flat base video head?

[lowep]

I hope you don´t spend as much time as I do mucking around with tripod legs to level the video head!!

Happy with the Manfrotto 700RC2 video head that I am using on a good carbon fiber tripod for field work - but frustrated at having to spend a lot of time adjusting the tripod legs to get the head level, so I try to find out if there is some sort of bowl adapter or other gizmo that can be inserted between the tripod and the video head that will allow me to level the video head without having to adjust the levels of the tripod legs?

My first stop trying to find a solution to this was of course google but so far I have only managed to find an adapter kit to connect a half bowl video head to a flat base tripod - but have not yet found a bowl-type adapter that can be used with a flat base tripod and flat base head.

That's the ticket.

Thanks very much for the pointer that ought to do the trick.

Yep spending money on more gear is not so good - but neither is crouching in a field just after rain struggling to adjust tripod legs to catch the farmer go by with his oxen and plough then have to do so all over again when he starts the next furrow.

I use Acratech's Leveling Base on my mini tripods, & monopods. They're more expensive then E-Image's, but very robust.

Wow, these look nice. Based upon the E-Image legs I just bought as disposable one-offs for shooting at the beach a few times, I would spend the extra money on the Acratech. But if he needs to cheap out, it would be interesting to compare them.
