Actually, there are small round bubble levels that are perfect for carrying along. I recently bought a cheap Chinese "hot shoe cover" that has a bubble level built in, but I carried one like this for a long time. The hot shoe is a nice flat place, just set it on there: http://www.homedepot.com/Tools-Hardware-Hand-Tools-Levels/h_d1/N-5yc1vZashq/R-100147382/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053 And, the hot shoe cover one is so tiny, you really cannot see if you are truly level. But the little 1" Home Depot bubble level is perfect. Andrew On 08/12/2011 07:47 PM, Roger Eichhorn wrote: > That should work.
