Getting the rounded view is kinda a bugger since I have to lean over to exactly the middle while still holding attitude. I don't know how many times I've had to "fix" my altitude and stuff after getting the camera/lens combo ready for a shot. I don't want my pilot friends to notice that I'm at 8850' instead of 9000' like I'm supposed to be...
