Ownership verified by DX No more or no less than what is needed

Pros: I usually level a photo "visually". That is to say, that when you frame a photo, actual horizontal has little meaning, as long as it LOOKS level in the photo. The one exception to this is photos with falling water. The brain can tell instinctively, looking a photo of falling water, if it is tilted or not. That's why I use these whenever shooting waterfall photos.
I ordered several of these, and gave them to my photographer friends.

Cons: I wish the bubble were a bit easier to read. It seems the bubble is a bit large, the center indicators a bit wide. A smaller bubble with smaller center area would help.

Other Thoughts: Quite handy, and the price is right.

Bottomline: Worth buying, even if you use it rarely. It takes up almost no space in your bag, and should last years.

Pros: Inexpensive level, price for a similar level from a camera shop is easily $20+ more then this level. The level does its job, making sure the camera is level on the tripod for landscape photography. Very useful when doing panoramic shots.

Cons: Finish could be a little more refined, but for the price, the finish isnt a big detractor.
Lose fit in the hot shoe. Had to take some gaffers tape to the bottom of the level that slides into the hot shoe of the camera so that the level will fit without sliding our.

Other Thoughts:

Bottomline: For the price this level is a great value despite the finish being a little rough and the fit being a tad loose in the hot shoe. If I need additional camera levels, I will definitely be purchasing more from Deal Extreme. The are a great deal and they do their job like they are supposed to.

Pros: Great Price for a great product! Great to use in SLR ant to complement you photographic skills.

Bottomline: Buy this product if you are a photographer that like to use a tripod to take photos and what to make shure that they are perfectly align!

Pros: It's a very simple utility and it works. Nothing much to say about it. The hot shoe mount is cut well and fits into the hot shoe very smoothly. The measure is fairly easy to see.

Cons: Plastic came a bit scratched up, but not to the point where I would be dissatisfied with the item.

Other Thoughts: There are two hot shoe mounts for you to mount either flat or standing up, which I find strange because it basically only one of the two fluid level works if you lie it flat on your camera. If you stand it up, it only measures whether your camera is tilted left-right. If you lie it down, it measures left-right as well as up-down.

Bottomline: I've always wondered why these things cost so much when it's just some liquid in plastic. At $3, I think it's still a bit overpriced, but I couldn't find any that are cheaper. Nonetheless, it is a good buy and I would recommend it to you unless you can find it somewhere cheaper.
