Manfrotto 556b Levelling Centre Column??

You're right but they are specifically designed for leveliing a video camera i.e. a photo tripod can be used for a DSLR in video mode or a purpose built video camera.
 
Well I guess not just for video but being a videographer you often need to adjust the camera level quickly and also to make sure its level in 360 so if you pan during the shot the horizon stays level. For photo you've usually got more time or in most cases you can correct wonky shots in post. If you google MVH500AH,755XBK you will find a video tripod using this system. Ive got an earlier model.
