But what about regular TV trucks doing regular work on site?
So you don’t have access to a levelling table and the boss has asked you to do an inclination test and you want to make sure that the calibration is as good as possible. With a little thought and preparation at the office before going to site, this is not hard to do.

Suggested levelling table concept by Steve Peregrine.
The trick is to manufacture some kind of rigid and flat board with 3 points of contact which you can lay on the ground at the back of the truck and then adjust the 3 feet until it is perfectly level in the two 90 degree directions across and along the plate by using a spirit level. This can be a cast steel plate with adjustable threaded feet or a thick flat piece of wood with folded pieces of paper under the 3 contact points. One is more simple than the other, but both will work equally as well.Once you have the plate flatget the camera on a flat and level surface plate, you can set the camera up with the correct wheels and place it on the plate and hit the calibration button in WinCan VX OSD controls. This resets the zero point of the unit and now it is ready to complete a test with confidence.
