With calibrated scale markings on all axis, and a total of three leveling bubbles, getting the perfect level and angle, in Portrait or Landscape co ition is greatly facilitated. Magnesium construction allows for a 20% weight reduction over traditional metals, while still maintaining the same stability a d quality.
