Danny just get the clinometer app and learn what it does.

The altitude of the pole is measured with respect to horizontal, and this is what the app measures. If your tripod is tilted (ie not level) this makes no difference.

However, you can use the app to level the tripod, and this is useful because it means the next time you use the mount the altitude setting will be close to correct.


So, ultimately you either forget about the tripod and align the mount each time from scratch, or spend a few minutes to level the tripod to make aligning the mount easier. Either way the result is the same.

And you can use the app to level the pictures on your walls.
