Troubleshooting

Bubble is not centered

The bubble is designed to indicate when the tripod is level. If it's not centered, adjust your tripod legs until the bubble is centered in the vial.

Bubble level won't attach securely

Ensure you are using a compatible Gitzo Series 1 tripod and that the center column base is clean and free of obstructions. Verify you are attaching it to the correct point on the center column.

Fluid inside the bubble seems low or evaporated

This indicates a potential seal issue. Contact Gitzo customer support for assistance or a replacement, as this is not user-serviceable.
