May be "close enough" but for critical work I know that when the spirit
levels in my Manfrotto head indicate level, the camera (mounted using a Hex
QR plate) is not. I attribute this to the fact that the head & QR plate are
castings, the important part of the head has been machined but not the QR
plate and that the cushioning on the QR plate probably isn't parallel with
the top of the plate.
