Hi Fritz, I've solved the problem of using a camera at ground level by mounting a tripod head on a board. You can mount the camera, use a right angle finder, or, with the LX, the FB-1 base, and shoot anything from close-ups to low-level scenics. Different sized boards can be used for different purposes and situations. Perhaps this will work for you, or it may give you some fresh ideas. Take a look:
