Accessory Tripod Mounting Spacers from Sunwayfoto

Sunwayfoto Tripod Mounting Spacers
As I had commented in the Sunwayfoto DYH-66i Leveling Base Review ("Mounting on a Tripod" section) there was an issue with the depth of its bottom mounting hole which would generate problems and frustration to users if their tripod mounting stud exceeded 6mm in height.

Owners of tripods with an adjustable (usually the reversible type) mounting stud would not face any problem, but there is always the case of those that their tripod stud is fixed or those that do not know or plainly do not want to adjust it.
