It takes a bit of wiggling and twisting to reposition the bubble. Here is a tip: start with both the Large Silver Ball Lever (unseen in both images below) and the Silver Bullet Knob loosened. <\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><center>ngg_shortcode_1_placeholder<\/center><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<h2><strong>Side-view of FlexShooter Pro with the 600 VR on the tripod <\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<h2><strong>Image #1: Side-view of FlexShooter Pro with the 600 VR on the tripod<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When I will be photographing with the lens on the FlexShooter Pro while standing behind my tripod, I will almost always position the bubble as shown above with the bubble <strong><em>to the right of the lens<\/em><\/strong>, the clamp knob on the near-right, and the silver bullet knob on the near-left (the latter unseen in the photo above). This allows me to simply lean to my right for a clear line of sight view when I need to center the bubble on the FlexShooter Pro in the scribed circle. <\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><center>ngg_shortcode_2_placeholder<\/center><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<h2><strong>Image #2: Rear-view of FlexShooter Pro in the car without a lens mounted<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<h2><strong>A Rear-view of FlexShooter Pro in the car without a lens mounted<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When I am working off the tripod in a vehicle, seated behind the tripod in the field, or will be standing in one spot for a good while doing flight photography in a productive spot like Bosque del Apache NWR in New Mexico, it is easiest to level the FlexShooter Pro without the lens mounted with the bubble <strong><em>at the rear of the head<\/em><\/strong> (as seen in the photo above). Note that the clamp knob is positioned on my right with the silver bullet knob to my left. When seated on the ground or in a vehicle it is easiest to center the bubble in the scribed circle with the bubble positioned to the rear as seen in the photo above. If it is on the right (as in image #1), it is pretty impossible to see the bubble as it will be blocked by the lens &#8230;<\/p>\n<h3>Questions Welcome<\/h3>\n<p>All FlexShooter questions are welcome; please leave a comment below and I will get back to you. <\/p>\n<h3>Huge Late-registration Instructional Photo-Tour Discounts Made Public <\/h3>\n<p>I an effort to fill a very few remaining slots, I am offering a $3,000 late registration discount on the UK Puffins, Gannets, and Red Kite IPT (one slot) and a $4,000 late registration discount on the Galapagos Photo Cruise of a lifetime (one or two slots) &#8212; the world&#8217;s very best Galapagos photo trip.
