Hi Jeff,

I recently purchased a set of the optional Losmandy glow in the dark
rubber feet for the G11 tripod. That should help them keep from sinking into
the ground, and kill vibration on pavement.

However, about levelling, I wish the AP900 and other models would have
levelling bubbles on the base of the fork, like the Losmandy G11 and some
others do.
Something I will have to add, to make it right.

Joe

"Bare ground" and the AP Pier? No problem, imo. Maybe even better than
the G11... the feet are closed (about an inch wide metal "foot")... the G11
feet are open and can sink in soft ground.

The G11 does have the advantage of being able to setup on faily non-level
ground. E.g. just adjust the legs to get it level.
(still, I found it a bit of hassle to level with the cut-your-hands tripod
leg knobs (I didnt upgrade).)
