THE LEGS
An
important thing to attend to is the degree of slant on the leg pad relative
to the upper mounting lug. Probably best to build the tripod without the pads,
then setup the assembled unit and trace the level line using the flat surface
as a guide. I can tell you that the degree of slant appears to be about 13-14
degrees off of vertical, but a small error would be apparent in the finished
product.
