Q: 1. It does not look possible to attach the hook that comes with the series 3 apex to the low-profile knob, as the hook is attached via a 3/8" screw. But the only place for a screw that I see in the picture is used to mount the low-profile knob and it's a female hex shape. Is this an accurate assessment?

A: Correct this would be an accurate assessment, there would not be an easy way to attach the the hook that comes with the Series 3 Apex to this head unfortunately.

Q: 2. I have two Gitzo tripods, models GT1541T and GT2545T. How do I mount this leveling base to these tripods?

A: No, the GT1541T and GT2545T both do not offer 75mm ball drops in order to adapt to the Really Right Stuff TA-3 leveling base.

Q: 3. Can it be installed on Gitzo GT5543XLS? I have RRS TVC-34L too, so would like to confirm it does be compatible with both tripods.

A: Yes, it will fit by also purchasing the Gitzo bowl adapter, click the link below to view; https://bhpho.to/2URe16d

Q: 4. can you install the hook from the longer versions Really Right Stuff TA-3 long onto this one?

Q: 8. Will the RRS TA-4-LEVELING BASE fit my RRS Versa Tripod TVC-34L MK2?

A: The Really Right Stuff TA-4 Leveling Base with Low-Profile Knob is only compatible with Series 4 tripods; TVC-34L MK2 is a Series 3 tripod, so RRS TA-3 is compatible: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1337700-REG/really_right_stuff_ta_3_lb_lp_ta_3_leveling_base_with.html

Q: 9. Will the RRS TA-4-LB Leveling Base fit on an FLM CP38-L4 II tripod (this tripod has a 100mm bowl head area?)

A: According to RRS, the TA-4-LB fits on most standard 100mm diameter bowl tripods. The one thing I would caution is that the low-profile knob sits very close to the apex/spider of the tripod and it might be hard to operate in certain situations depending on how your tripod is set up/situated.

Q: 10. From the pictures shown I do not see how this attaches to a tripod. Is it possible to mount it between a manfrotto tripod and a Gitzo ball head?

A: The Really Right Stuff TA-3 Leveling Base with Low-Profile Knob and Platform with 3/8"-16 Stud can fit on a tripod that has a 75mm video bowl.
