I use the RRS TA-3 Leveling base with lever clamp, with Outdoorsmans tall tripod adapter and stud for Swarovski 15x56, with a tiny arca swiss plate attached to the bottom of the outdoorsmans tall tripod adapter (there's a threaded hole on the bottom). Clips right into the RRS leveling base or any other Arca swiss compatible ballhead or leveling base. Best solution out there IMO.
