The previously reported Benro Theta self-leveling intelligent modular tripod is already listed for fundraising on Kickstarter:
Update: in just a few hours the Benro auto-leveling tripod raised almost $400k on Kickstarter (from a $50k goal).
Additional information:
Theta is the world's first travel tripod with a one-key auto-leveling feature. It has a seamless pack-down size and super stability through Benro’s unique structure design. It also has built-in extension interfaces that can connect to other smart modules to perform different functions, including remote camera controller, live streaming modules etc., bringing unprecedented convenience to photographers.
Level adjustment has always been a waste of valuable preparation time which is one of the typical shooting troubles when using a tripod. The photographer has to readjust the tripod level according to the different terrain when relocating the sites. Theta’s one-key Auto Leveling function solved the biggest problem of traditional tripods in recent decades and brought real convenience to photographers.
