This part in the description of that tilt box is a bit odd.
"It has a range of 90° left or right and a resolution of 0.05°
(accurate to 0.2°)."

It is kind of confusing. I took the resolution of 0.05° to refer to the
sharpness of the LCD and left it at that. If that's what it's meant to refer
to it might be useful in outside sunny conditions. I've seen LCD readouts
that you have to shadow and almost cup with your hand before you can make
them out.


They're talking about the readout - it reads to two decimal points,
but the accuracy is only good to one. That gives a false sense of
accuracy. No way in hell am I paying $39.95 for that. If it was
$39.9 - maybe.
