Ok, here's an idea: take a nice flat piece of sheet metal, about 2-3mm
thick, about as wide as a camera body but twice as deep. Make a hole or
slot in it for the tripod screw so that it will fit between the body and
tripod plate, with the extra depth sticking out behind the body. Put a
conventional spirit level on that.
Hopefully the frame top & bottom edges are parallel with the bottom
plate?
