Just dropped $800 on a new crane level and it's a total game changer

I was working on a site in Portland last month, setting up on some really uneven ground. My old bubble level just wasn't cutting it, and I was wasting so much time getting the crane perfectly level before each lift. I finally bit the bullet and bought a digital crane level that mounts right on the deck. It was about $800, which felt like a lot at the time. But man, the setup time is cut in half now. It gives me a live digital readout to a tenth of a degree, so I know exactly how much to adjust each outrigger. No more guessing or walking around to check all four sides. It paid for itself in saved labor hours in the first two weeks. Has anyone else switched to a digital level, and what brand did you go with?

Watching @josephb35 fall for that classic "cut in half" trick explains so much about modern shopping.
