Oh.

You want *large*???

Go to home despot and get a 3foot long builder's level, drill and tap 1
/4" by 20TPI holes in the top and bottom. Put a 1/4" x 20 stud in the 
topside hole. Screw the level to your tripod, then the camera in the 
stud. If you do the holes really carefully by using a drill press, 
everything should be nice and square. Of course, it will look funny as 
hell, but you weren't out to win a beauty contest, were you????

Be seeing you.
