Dealing with tilt?

There are many solutions out there from tilt adapters to using shims. I would like to use shims as I have a small amount of tilt.

Any ideas on what I can use or how to make them?

I would start with brass shim stock cut to shape with scissors to experiment with the correction needed and possibly made more permanent depending on how you wanted to use your gear.

Also you could try to experiment with thin plastic sheet of the type used or that used to be used for shirt boxes.

Best

I wonder how the metal from feeler gauges would go? That way you get different thicknesses to try.

I heard someone say that using a feeler gauge is the way to go to get it very close but he then used the adjustment screws on his camera.
