The Swarovski Professional Carbon Tripod is pretty much a Gitzo Mountaineer Series 3 Carbon Fiber Tripod (Long) with a Swarovski label on it. Center Column is 28 mm diameter and this Bubble Level installs just fine. So it seems it's also for Series 3 Tripods. (Would've been nice of Gitzo (not to mention Swarovski) to have made that clear.)

Bubble Level works fine on Series 2 Tripods
Bubble Level works fine on Series 2 Tripods and does the job of helping to level the tripod. Needed a level for the Gitzo GT2545T Series 2 Traveler Carbon Fiber Tripod and this worked just fine. Not very expensive but it makes leveling a lot easier.

Broke within a couple uses
I bought this to use as a monopod bubble level for the monopod leg of a Mefoto Roadtrip. It fits great but the durability leaves a lot to be desired. Within a couple lite uses of the full tripod I noticed that the bubble was gone. The glue came unstuck and the yellow bubble level part was gone and the black plastic remains. Who knows where that little bubble is... Won't try another one.

Easy installation, doesn't get in way of tripod legs
I bought this level for shooting panoramas; my Gitzo tripod, for which this level is made, lacks a built-in level for the base. The level installs in seconds simply by unscrewing the weight hook at the bottom of the center column, placing the level, and then rescrewing the hook.The level can easily be adjusted so that it does not interfere with the tripod legs when they are closed. And the position at the bottom of the center column makes it easy to see the level while adjusting the legs. It's a well-designed product that does just what it's supposed to.
