I find when shooting architecture on location with a client looking over my shoulder, fussing with a head to get my tilt shift lens level, I give the impression that I don't know what I am doing. Not the way I want to be viewed if I want future work.

When shifting or tilting a lens, being absolutely level is a priority in camera, NOT in post. Just too much distortion you have to contend with in PP.

For me, time is money... whether it is on location or in my studio. Using this nodal ninja for that little money (compared to all you spend on gear) is a god send.

In the field, I can see using a bowl leveler. For my needs, I like the quick, precise incremental adjustments the 3 wheel leveler provides.

I once had the original Bogen version of the "Manfrotto 338 LEVELLING BASE Tripod head" which is currently available from B&H (and probably others). It was stolen off my tripod at Telegraph Hill in San Francisco, so I bought a leveling column; I think I got the first one in Sacramento at Pardee's.

I've done a forum search and there were a few heads, but I found nothing regarding columns. :-)

Must have been a limited time offer. :D

Mogul,

Thanks for your help! I don't have any problem finding things, but when reviews are limited, I try to use the experience of others here on the forum to get a better feel for a product. Obviously there are not a lot of users in here in the tripod leveling world! :-)
