I would think that detents would interfer more than help, since you 
wouldn't be able to set the relative angle very close to the detent 
because the part would tend to slip into the detent. In other words, if 
you had to set the camera platform very close to the detent position to 
get things level, the pressure from the detent would tend to make the 
platform "pop" into the detented position and not slightly off like you 
intended. Does this make sense? Besides, there's virtually no way your 
going to have a perfectly level setup for the legs, and the slop in 
cernter column and head would make the detent completely wrong anyway. 
I hope this makes some sense.

Be seeing you.
