 There are two steps to measuring the tripod. Because these plates have angles other than 90 degrees, we have to find a way to measure them.

My favorite method is to push a stack of card against the angled surface and then copy the slope for measuring with a protractor.

It's also good to keep a reference diagram handy. I scrawl one on a mini whiteboard so it's easy to edit.
