@robmasterman Thank you as always Bob, it was a lovely day spent around the forest apart from almost all the paths that surround the line were covered in a thick layer of brambles!

nice video marred by some very odd levels on your tripod . Strange viewing thinsgs at 20 degrees rather than horizontal

@Sidmouth34010 It's something I have been noticing on the tripod. The spirit level seems slightly off, it shows the bubble in the centre, but when you go slightly away from the tripod and look at it from a distance, it seems to be uneven. On top of that it seems to have a very odd problem where the head will not lock onto it properly sometimes, and will slope the head, it seems to have problems locking it down. Are there any particular clips where it is very obvious? Thank you for the feedback

@Sidmouth34010 Sorry to fill up your inbox, but I've just worked out some of the problems on it, the first shot is level, I think the track is slightly canted away from the camera, the 2nd shot is the previously mentioned spirit level problem where unless you have a bird's eye view, it's hard to get fully accurate, 5521 at the crossing is on a down hill gradient from the camera, and the 5521 PE shot was moved last second as it came in, due to the people in front of the camera.
