Ownership verified by DX A good level for a good price

Pros: If your tripod doesn't have built in level, or your level has been broken, or the fluid has dried-up this item makes a nice replacement. The design is very good and similar in function to products that cost many times more.

Cons: My level arrived with a few scratches on the acrylic plastic, but I am not sure if this was a fault in manufacturing or shipment. These scratches are only cosmetic though and do not cause any problems with using the item.

Other Thoughts: I am pleased with this level and it will be useful for my work. I was happy to be able to find an item like this for such a low price.

Bottomline: If you need a level for your camera that is small in size, I highly recommend this item. Similar levels for sale at dollar stores and other discount shops are much larger and cannot be mounted to the hot shoe on your camera as easily as this one can.

Pros: Works really fine.
Good edge-cut, didn't have to use the force to fit in camera.
Mine is perfectly leveled. Compared it with other levels that I use.

Cons: -No one really.
It's a simple gadget, useless depending on the tripod you use.

Other Thoughts: Useless if you have a camera with horizon digital line built in, like the new DSLRs does.
Useless if you have a good tripod with easy-to-look-at levels.
Can't use with flash on top, but hey, you will use this in a tripod, sou put it on, level it, take it off and go with the flash.

Bottomline: Nice gadget. Very cheap... easy to carry in the photographer's "junk" bag.
Beautiful to. Doesn't look like a stupid plastic.

Pros: The price is quite cheap for what it is (and the prices you may find elsewhere).
It has two levels, and two orientations. Construction material is nice and doesn't feel cheap.

Cons: However - I have doubts that the spirit level itself is completely level... looking at it I seem to see a slight tilt in the levels and camera pictures seem to confirm this.
In which case it would make this rather redundant as a level...

Other Thoughts: Other reviewers seem to find theirs to be okay so it may just be a quality control issue. But certainly mine is just a little off (which makes it rather useless in my opinion).

Bottomline: Take a gamble, the worst thing that happens is that you lose a few euro...

Ownership verified by DX wonky pictures? HA! buy one of these!

Pros: IF you have wonky eyes, or one leg longer than the other and you wonder why all your pictures come out like your a little bit drunk, maybe you need a spirit level for your camera?
Fits into the Flash "socket" or whatever you call it
Very easy to use, very accurate*, more so than my tripod

Cons: *could do with smaller tolerances, but nothing major as you can judge where the lines are with your eyes
Can't open the flash with this on, but personally I use it to set up the camera/tripod and not for the actual shooting (unless landscapes)

Other Thoughts: Great for panoramic photographs or for those (like me) with ball headed tripods

Bottomline: Buy it! don't spoil that perfect shot of the sunset by a few degrees of wonky camera!
