Thanks, Ken.

I have never heard of a "digital leveller" before and I can't see how  
it might work using 2 accelerometers.

An accelerometer measures the acceleration of a moving object, not  
that of a stationery one (!).  Unless the camera has an inertial  
platform, and an idea of what the earth's acceleration should be for  
its position on the earth's surface, I can't see how having 2  
accelerometers give it a levelling instructions.

Any ideas anyone?

Chris
