good video, but maybe there is a solution, when you removed the foot, there was a nut with two holes in it, perhaps that is the "adjuster" and you use a pin spanner or dividers, after loosening a grub lock screw on the side, which is what some systems do.
I am not entirely clear on which part you are referring to, can you please elaborate on the instructions or point me to some images or a timestamp in the video so that I can try it out.
@@RadCameraMan sorry, my reference was to the issue of the ball head tightness, and the screw to which I refer is illustrated at 19:02 at the base where you take the rubber foot off, in center of the legs, most makers, Benro and Leofoto come to mind, use a tensioning system where an allen key or the tools I describe are used to adjust this tension, like a normal ball head, but this is a permanent friction, aka when you release the centring collar, this is what you get, for ease of use, not having to use a knob 1/4 " off the floor to adjust it, just use the collar for on/off, and this system to adjust the 'semi-fixed' tension. This also could be a case of removing this part, and shimming under the adjuster for tensioning, like in machines, the "clearance" giving the tensioning required, when that nut is screwed home.
The E-Image MFC700 has the longest base legs: ua-cam.com/video/sxxgxppdZGg/v-deo.html E-Image MFC700: 43 cm Innorel PW70: 43 cm iFootage Cobra 3: 35.6 cm Leofoto VD-03: 32.8 cm Leofoto VD-02: 32.8 cm iFootage Cobra 2: 29.6 cm The long base legs are good for stability but sometimes they can also get in the way depending on how much space you have or if you walk with it in a crowded space then it is more likely to hit other people.
As the first section is 40mm I'm quite sure the second section is 36mm, third 32mm and last 28mm! Otherwise there will be no point in those 40mm compared to 36mm which is usually lagest at Leofoto! 😇
The official Leofoto website says the dimensions are: 40mm, 32mm, 28mm, and 25mm... please let me know if these dimensions are of importance to you, in which case I can try to measure them with a ruler as I don't have the right tool for measuring the diameter of round objects.

thanks for the additional details... I will check this to see if I can find any options.
Which has longest monopod base legs ? Leofoto VD-03 ,Sirui, Ifootage ?
The E-Image MFC700 has the longest base legs:
ua-cam.com/video/sxxgxppdZGg/v-deo.html
E-Image MFC700: 43 cm
Innorel PW70: 43 cm
iFootage Cobra 3: 35.6 cm
Leofoto VD-03: 32.8 cm
Leofoto VD-02: 32.8 cm

The long base legs are good for stability but sometimes they can also get in the way depending on how much space you have or if you walk with it in a crowded space then it is more likely to hit other people.
Thank you for this information.@@RadCameraMan
