I am using a Manfrotto 190CXPRO3 tripod (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=548524&is=REG&A=details&Q=) with the 701HDV video head (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/556159-REG/Manfrotto_701HDV_701HDV_Pro_Fluid_Video.html) . My biggest gripe while setting up is leveling the the tripod. What can I get to level quickly?

Would this work?

I have the 701HDV...love it with the GH1! I just level with the tripod quick release clamps...or just pull legs in as needed in a pinch. ;)
 
I use a 190CX3 with a 701HDV and asked the same question. I've been using this and it's great except that it's a bit longer and heavier (though this aids stabilization) than I would have preferred. But no more adjusting legs!
 
Thanks all for your suggestions. I saw a decent deal on *Bay and grab the Manfrotto 3502 (older version of the Manfrotto 438). It'll add another 2 inches and 1.6lbs to the setup but this will beat fumbling around with the legs.
