ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus for vertical alignment of a borehole rig directly over a drilling site involve use of a camera placed in parallel orientation to the drilling mast or drill string and sighted in on the drill target, then allowed to swing free to the true-plumb position, thereafter bringing the mast back into parallel orientation with the now-plumb camera.
