Manfrotto half-ball leveler confusion

[nitrofour]

I have a set of 3236 (475b) sticks beneath a 503 head. i want to purchase a half-ball leveler but i don't think that it would work with my manfrotto legs since i have a center column? am i right? or do i have no idea what i'm talking about?

if i'm wrong, which half-ball leveler should i buy? further, WHERE are they even sold anymore? hah...

thanks!

Yes, it wouldn't work. The tripod leg would need to have its own 75mm or 100mm bowl.

For something like that you would need a leveling head like this

Screws on to the stick and allows you to level the tripod head same as a half-ball.

I love these, if you 503 has a bowl under it. I've got one on my jib and one on my dolly.
oh ya the picture is upside down
