I'm (still) in the process of setting up for some macro/still life at home studio work, and my tripod wasn't working well for a table-top ballhead support. I across a set of Lynx Levelers at Goodwill for $13, new on Amazon they are about $35. I figured if they will support a trailer, they should support my camera. They are 1" thick, and 8 inches square, and came in a 10-pack. They nest together securely. The center hole was plenty big, but not too big, for a 1.5" 1/4x20 bolt, and with some washers as spacers I was able to attach a ballhead to a single leveler. By cutting out the center section on one other leveler (used a PVC pipe cutter), the washers don't get in the way and the levelers will nest and allow me to adjust the height 1 inch at a time. They provide a lot more stability than my table top tripod ever did, although the height adjustment isn't as adjustable. It works for me!
A perfectly fine solution. Good Job
