Lee. You'd think so, wouldn't you?
But what many of us are finding is we get a very different "level" when we level the tripod first before the mount goes on.
I level the tripod first with a builder's spirit level (before the mount goes on)
Then once the mount is on, I look at the built-in bubble level on the EQ6 and it reckons the tripod's not level
Which do you believe?
