Yes, except that an angle finder will do that nicely. I suppose the closest thing we could use would be a sports finder a la LX. Overhead, you have to have your camera as high as you can get it, so that's gonna be nearly three feet above head height. Sod's law states that whenever you do this with one of these gizmos on, you'll be looking straight into the sun....
