Peter,

Great Follow up on laser alignment. Thank you .

I'll check if my canon right angle viewfinder C could be adapted for this .
Otherwise we need your help with getting the source for those optical parts :-)

I still have  some "geometric" doubts about this setup .

From what I understand you are moving  monopod around the monsterpod, to get the laser beam path free sight ?

That sounds a bit time consuming and tricky with a pole of 3,5 m plus....

I use "above your head" technique when in crowds, and then it would be mostly  impossible to see anything on the ground .

Turning of monopod seems less prone to unneeded movement/ faster .


I was thinking maybe setting up a white "collar"   on the monopod
under the camera with four  90 Degrees dots would work as well ?
