| Haven't got a MP yet but I was just wondering if you have to take the time to level it after you move to a new spot following each scan? I know it shouldn't change much if at all but does it need to be perfectly level for every shot? |

| The camera does not need to be perfectly level for each scan. I believe it has a 15 degree tolerance. I do not use a level and just eyeball the camera in 2 directions and never have any problems with alignment or the final result. Some people do level the camera with a level, but I believe this is an unnecessary step that adds quite a bit of time to the process. Just my 2 cents. Jon |

| While still a newbie and not an expert, I try to keep the camera reasonably level from point but do not adjust it every move. From reading every post in my quest to learn as much as I can about scanning, the consensus seems to be that the camera is very tolerant of out of level conditions. I use two inexpensive line levels fixed to the top back edge and right hand top edge rather than a bullseye level. If I see them getting much out of wack (bubble out of the two lines), I will level things up. If you get a camera, get a Desmond DLEv-1 and the associated Arca Swiss clamp. Hope this helps. Concur with previous post as well. |

| Agreed also....use a cheap Home Depot bubble level, orienting it to every tripod leg. I typically do that every 5 scans unless there is a change in the flooring. | ||

| I'll add that I've found it to be very important to level outdoor 360 views, especially if I want a still from a 360 view to be the thumbnail fit the tour. I have it when the house looks like the leaning tower of Pisa in three thumbnail! | ||
