Interesting. I used to have to noodle with vertical alignments quite 
a bit when I used a beam-splitter. I got my first Realist _and_ a 
bubble level at the same time. Looks like I attributed the 
disappearance of my alignment problems to the level instead of to the 
camera where it belongs. 

Last night I was stuffing RBT mounts while watching TV. I discovered 
later that the yellow thingy is not symmetrical. You have to position 
the indentation on the vertical crossbar to the left or right 
_consistently_. I accidentally inverted the yellow thingy for a few 
mounts and, of course, had to re-adjust the toothed rails a second 
time.
