Leveling Leg Mod after Reuben Krabbe - his first version - he's now got two versions! (In his version 2, the normal setting geometry is compromised and the resistance to the strut attachment slipping is not 'absolute' - still considering that one - have got some ideas.)
I find my MSE 'Light (Wt) Heavy (Duty) triple riser' aluminium stand (387490) (3.54 m) pretty well perfect for a full baby pin stand (i.e. strong enough to handle a Grip Head with all that that implies). And it's light weight. Except, especially outside, it would be nice to have a leveling leg option.
Traditional leveling leg solutions extend & lower one leg, meaning that single leg becomes the downhill leg and ends up taking more weight than its piers. Also the footprint diameter is modestly reduced.
Reuben Krabbe's Mod, OTOH, raises the adjusted leg which typically results in it bearing slightly less than a normal 1/3rd share. Also, it doesn't add weight. When deployed, the footprint diameter increases slightly!
My experience suggests that a single extra hole, c 10 to 12 cm higher than the original offers great leveling range and flexibility on this and other full sized horizontal strut stands (footprint 43 in diameter). Varying the leg spread also varies the leveling action substantially. Outside, I'd usually lose the wheels or lock them radially out to maximize the footprint. This approach does not work well on stairs - but there's a better way of mounting a lightstand half way up a flight of stairs.
My choice of new pin was a marine grade 6 X 50 mm drop nose pin. (The UK's 'Seasure' is the best brand.) Lighter stands would use a 5 mm version. The drop nose is itself spring loaded and my mod adds a short length of rubber tubing to act as a gentle compression spring, removing any chance that this mod would 'self release'. It's more secure, IMO, than the original simple ny-loc nuts. Matthews added two shaped spacing pieces which could be easy to lose. Accordingly these are now tethered to prevent loss while engaging the leveling option. If your stand has washers, I suggest losing those and substituting a 10 cm strip of thin stiff plastic with a suitable hole at both ends.
Ensure that the stand is truly vertical - critical if using a boom.
I now have two full sized stands with this mod/pin - I remain, 6 months & counting, very pleased so far . . .
I've also tried just using a car leveling ramp under a normal stand's lowest leg - that can work well too, but I prefer Reuben's idea.

A trio of tripods with built-in bullseye levels used for leveling the tripod by adjusting the length of its legs.
If the tripod is not level, the angle of the camera changes when aimed in a different direction.
A changing angle is a nuisance in many circumstances and a major problem when shooting panoramas.
(If the tripod is level the individual panorama shots maintain a constant angle and form a strait line.
If the tripod is not level the individual panorama shots are at different angles and form an arch or valley.
This means each shot must be rotated for stitching and the entire panorama must be severely cropped to remove the overall curve.)
Depending on the tripod's head; the camera may require a level of its own.
If your tripod does not have a built-in level, a fence post level (which can be purchased at a building supply store for about $6) can be attached the the tripods center post.
(The post hole level shown in first comment below is red)
(There is also a hot-shoe level on top of the camera)
Leveled. Finally.
Your iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus have been lying on your desk out of balance for too long.
Bring them back in level and stop the jiggle. The iPhone camera is popping out of the device and making your life harder. Precisely deployed iPhone silhouette and a camera hole placed in our soft Italian leather are bringing level back to your iPhone.
No more lying around naked. This is a fashionable soft desk cushion for your iPhone.

From Wikipedia: The Lethbridge Viaduct, commonly known as the High Level Bridge, was constructed between 1907–1909 at Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada at a cost of $1,334,525. This massive steel trestle over the Oldman River was designed by the Canadian Pacific Railway's bridge department in Montreal. The field work was directed by CPR's Assistant Chief Engineer J. E. Schwitzer. The steel work was manufactured by the Canadian Bridge Company of Walkerville, Ontario. A 100 man gang worked on the erection of the steel. Although there were some initial problems with settlement, the bridge has proved to be an enduring engineering work and is still in use today.
This bridge is the largest railway structure in Canada. It was built as part of a major diversion of the Crowsnest Pass route between Lethbridge and Fort Macleod. The river crossing was previously over a wooden trestle measuring 894 m (2,933 ft) long and 20 m (66 ft) high; an impressive structure in its own right.
Green-Wood Cemetery, Located in Greenwood Heights, Brooklyn, it lies several blocks southwest of Prospect Park, between Park Slope, Windsor Terrace, Borough Park, Kensington, and Sunset Park. Green-Wood was able to take advantage of the varied topography provided by glacial moraines. Battle Hill, the highest point in Brooklyn, is on cemetery grounds, rising approximately 200 feet above sea level. As such, there on that spot in 1920, was erected a Revolutionary War monument by Frederick Ruckstull, Altar to Liberty: Minerva. From this height, the bronze Minerva statue gazes towards The Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor.The cemetery was the idea of Henry Evelyn Pierrepont,[7] a Brooklyn social leader. It is still an operating cemetery with approximately 600,000 graves spread out over 478 acres. The rolling hills and dales, several ponds and an on-site chapel provide an environment that still draws visitors. The gates were designed by Richard Upjohn in Gothic Revival style. A Designated Landmarks of New York plaque was erected on it in 1958 by the New York Community Trust. A descendent colony of monk parakeets that are believed to have escaped their containers while in transit now nests in the spires of the gate, as well as other areas in Brooklyn. The cemetery was declared a National Historic Landmark in 2006.
