First, a disclaimer - I got this bubble level as part of a much larger "package" which included a tripod and other small accessories (i.e. I didn't purchase it as a stand-alone product). This product has two drawbacks: (1) it's not super accurate (understandable, because it's small); (2) it can be mounted to the camera in either lying flat or "pointing up". If mounted flat, it has a low profile (and so won't easily be broken off), but will work only for pictures taken in a "landscape" (horizontal) format. For leveling the camera in a vertical format, the bubble level needs to be mounted "pointing up" (and when mounted this way it will also work for horizontal pictures), but in this mounting mode it seems like it would be very easy to break it off by inadvertently bumping it. The latter concern can be addressed by only installing the level when needed, but that means repeatedly installing and removing the level - which involves rubbing against the hotshoe contacts. I would be worried long term about damaging these contacts. For these reasons, I don't use my bubble level, even though it was "free".

Don't get fooled by the photo. It's a double bubble level, not a tri-bubble. As a double, it's ok but not super accurate.

i use this level for doing panoramic photography.

This item is pretty important when utilizing a wide angle lens and almost a necessity when shooting panoramas.

I checked on other brands that were certainly more expensive and decided to buy 3 of these - 2 for myself and one for a gift. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and performance. One drawback that I've read about is the propensity for these (all brands) to fall off the camera if it's tilted backwards. I can see that happening, but if you know this ahead of time, you just need to be more careful and take it off before moving the camera. I bought these for landscape photography and this is almost necessary if not absolutely necessary - especially if you are doing panoramas and HDR. They fit my Canon 30D, 50D, and 5D MKII perfectly. I'll buy this again if I lose one and I'll recommend this to everyone.

I was torn between this, and getting a tripod with a built-in level. Then I realized that a built-in unit levels the tripod, and not necessarily the camera. The spirit level is what I consider to be a hidden, but necessary purchase. You won't know you need it until you need it (if that makes sense), but you'll be oh so glad you have it.

This is the best tool to make perfect aligned pictures. Easy to use and best of all, does not cost much!

it's an easy to use level that gets the job done. i like it well enough. it does just what i thought it would do. i glance at it when i set up my camera on a tripod to make sure everything is reasonably level.

I use this little bubble level a lot. Don't know how I got by without it before. I use it on Nikon D40, D90, D300, D700 and D3 cameras. It slides in to the flash shoe quickly and easily. I ended up buying 3 of them for multiple camera setups so I don't have to switch from camera to camera. Sure there are more expensive and accurate levels. For my imaging needs this level has the required accuracy and does the job very well. I have surveying equipment with very accurate bubble levels and I don't need anywhere close to that level of accuracy for imaging work with cameras. This level is well designed, priced right and will serve me well for all my imaging needs. Adorama has made an excellent, inexpensive product of good quality that works well!

Very easy to use, compact, fits snuggly so you can keep on camera without losing it. Only 4 stars because I'd like to see an option to attach a clip or cord to carry off camera when necessary to keep it handy. Otherwise a very good product.

I have a problem keeping my landscape shots level. I attended a worshop and the istructor introduced me to the use of a bubble level and have used it since. Now I do not have to spend time post processing to staighten my images. I will never leave home without it.

Nice to have in the kit bag. I use it for setting up panorama shots where being level is paramount.

Helps you easily keep those horizons straight. Much more useful than a tripod mounted level.

This spirit level does the job intended. It is well-made, attractive, light and compact, and very good value.

I waited a bit to write this as I am very inexperienced. I am using this on a Canon G9 and Manfrotto 190XProB tripod and 3D Jr. camera Head. Once I figured out the orientation into the hot shoe of the camera, all else followed easily. You can mount the spirit level vertically or horizontally in the hot shoe. I would buy this again.

Before this, I could get shots that were right on horizontal or vertical

Excellent addtion to the tripod/ballhead spirit levels; easy to place, remove, read and use. Slight real estate problem if you use a flash, as it uses the external flash support - no big deal though.

Good for camera quick draw practice and for stationary picture taking
