Camber Gauge

How easy is it to use a Camber Gauge like this one from MM? I figure for the cost of the gauge it will pay for itself... assuming I know what I'm doing. Any have any experience using such a tool? Maybe you can shed some light on the proper procedures for me? MM usually has instructions on their website for their products but nothing on this tool. I'd like to know what I am getting myself into.

FYI, I have C/C Plates and my current alignment specs.

Thanks.

Looks fairly simple. All you need is some level ground to park on, or have a way to measure how out-of-level the ground is so you can compensate. I actually built my own a few years back, using an electronic "Smart Level", a chunk of square roof rack cut to fit the rim, and some long bolts bent over to hold the gauge in without cryshing it. A couple of bungie cords to strap it to the wheel, zero the gauge, roll it 180 degrees, and average the difference in readings.

Here I am making a critical measurement of my fridge door...
