Use the Bubble Level
The bubble level is pretty simple to use. You would use the camera like normal, except you would use the bubble level on the bottom of the camera to adjust the angle of your camera in order to keep it straight. The level has 2 modes that can be switched between just by tilting the camera down or forward.
Horizontal Mode
For horizontal mode, the bubble shows the amount of tilt to either side. The level is drawn in a more traditional level style with lines and the bubble changes color with the amount of tilt.
In horizontal mode, if your camera is off by a larger degree, then the bubble will show up as red. This would mean a tilt angle of more than 4 degrees if using the default values.
In horizontal mode, if your camera is off by a smaller degree, then the bubble will show up as yellow. This would mean a tilt angle between 1.5 and 4 degrees if using the default values.
In horizontal mode, if your camera is relatively level, then the bubble will show up as green. This would mean a tilt angle of 1.5 degrees or less if using the default values.
Vertical Mode
For vertical mode, the bubble shows the amount of tilt in 2 different axes. The level is drawn with a plus to indicate the optimal center and the bubble changes color with the amount of tilt.
In vertical mode, if your camera is off by a larger degree in either axis, then the bubble will show up as red. This would mean a tilt angle of more than 4 degrees if using the default values.
In vertical mode, if your camera is off by a smaller degree in either axis, then the bubble will show up as yellow. This would mean a tilt angle between 1.5 and 4 degrees if using the default values.
In vertical mode, if your camera is relatively level in both axes, then the bubble will show up as green. This would mean a tilt angle of 1.5 degrees or less if using the default values.
This bubble level could probably be pretty easily adapted to work with other cameras besides the basic camera. Feel free to play with the values in the script and see how it affects the bubble level to get it to your liking and most of all, have fun!
