A Tripod Adjusts Levels Itself
It’s always advisable to use a tripod when shooting landscape because this helps to keep the horizon level. However, if you’re snapping on an uneven surface, you’ll have to level the tripod head with the equipped bubble level. But this can be quite a tedious task especially when handling a bulky camera. This is where the Acadalus Self-Leveling Camera Head comes in handy. The Acadalus mount has a built-in digital inclinometer, which detects how steep the camera is tilted. At the press of a press of a button, the stepper motor (used in flight simulators) will automatically level the tripod head with the horizon. However, this piece of technology doesn’t come cheap. Priced at US$5,000, that’s even more expensive than a high-end dSLR or any tripod head on the market now.
