Well at least you are not doing it in 90 degree heat. It's 98 right now and windy. Almost need a towel to sit in the car. I joined Curves so I could strengthen my back and legs and arms. I need to stay in shape lifting 60 lb mirror boxes and Losmandy mounts. As Chuck said we all need to stay healthy and exercise is very important in order to do that. Debbie

I guess what I'm really asking is if there are G11 users that have an easier way to do the fine adjustment to the tripod legs to get exact level. I have a 6" bullet level and w/ it I can get a very fine level but it's a real PITA to have to adjust, check, do it again and again and even then it's 'almost' correct. For most folks it's very good, me just OK. I also notice there is a difference from the top of the tripod being level to the levels on the G11. I'll have to see what is correct and then make allowances. I'm coming up w/ a few ideas to how to easily effect leveling of the set up w/o having to do 10 minutes of bending exercises but maybe that's a good thing too ................
aloha and mahalo Rob
