Nice little Bubble Level

Mar 9, 2016

I have a small compact tripod and needed a simple level. This fits right into the camera hotshot - protects the hotshot and gives me the level capability I want. I expect it will stay in the hotshot at least 80% of the time as it is unobtrusive and there is no reason to remove it.

Three-Axis Hot-Shoe Bubble Level by Vell

Jan 11, 2013

Good product, very simple and provides what I need for landscape shooting. The only draw back is the fit - I use a Canon 5D Mark II and if not shooting on a tripod you need to be careful as the level could fall out. Otherwise for the price you can't beat it, no need to spend more.

Very inaccurate

Nov 16, 2017

Yes it's a cheap shoe mounted level but a quick test rotating it on a flat surface shows none of the levels are accurate or are even close to agreeing with each other. If kind of close to level is good enough then this is fine, but you can get the same or better for much cheaper.

Crucial to Landscape Photography

Apr 4, 2012

We travel to many spectacular places in Africa providing the most awesome landscapes. Often when photographing landscapes it is important to ensure that the camera is level to secure the perfect horizon and the bubble level provides that added input to help get the perfect image.

Handy for panoramas

Feb 22, 2015

I forgot that my Sony has a non-standard hot shoe; I had to use an adapter to fit this item. It doesn't fit as tight as I'd like, and I'm afraid I'll loose it. Not exactly the same reading as the in-camera level; I don't know which one is off. Maybe it's the adapter's fault.

Sort of Level

Apr 13, 2016

Purchased because of price and reviews. Checked the level on both axis points and neither were truly level. Yes, the bubble was within the lines, but it was too far off for comfort. I ended up sending it back, but if you need a level to just get you close, this will work.

fits the Lumix DMC-FZ200 camera

Apr 17, 2013

I got this to protect the hot shoe on my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ200 camera I recently purchased from B&H. The bubble level will be very helpful when I need to make sure my horizon line is correct. Besides the protection to the contacts, it looks great on your hot shoe.

Vello low-profile bubble level

Dec 25, 2019

I like the low profile and beveled shape of the level, and it comes in handy when doing low-angle shots using the LCD screen. The bubble isn't 100% accurate, however, obliging me to move it ever so slightly to the right of center to ensure the camera is truly level.

Excellent solution

Jul 23, 2017

This piece fits all my cameras, DSLR to large format view cameras. It makes leveling the view cameras very quick and easy. My Nikon D7100 only indicates side to side tilt. This also indicates forward - back tilt. very valuable for landscape and architectural images.

Must have for Architectural photography

Dec 20, 2019

I shoot Architectural and Real Estate photography. I shoot with a Fuji X-T3 and I need to Keep my camera level. This 3 axis allows me to shoot from hi elevation and be able to read the bubbles from below. The only issue I have is that it fees loose in the hotshot.

Quick Verification

Sep 29, 2013

I like the clarity of the bubbles and ease of use especially in low light. When in mountain ranges at least you know that you are level and not second guessing then or in post processing. Best not to leave it in place or it can slide out during walking or travel.

Yes I would buy this product again.

Jun 5, 2017

The hot shoe bubble level works very well. This is a good idea because I use to use some small levels that were meant for other purposes and now it just pops right in and I can level my camera quickly and start shooting. It helps make for a fast and easy shoot.

Great Addition to Camera

Dec 27, 2019

This small level is a great addition to the camera. It installs quickly and is easily removed if you need to add a flash. I have it on a Fuji X-T30 and it works well for landscape shots and other situations where you are using the tilt screen to frame the shot.

Broke the first time I installed it on the hot shoe

Dec 27, 2018

The idea of a leveler seemed good but ever even had the chance to use it. It was a just a little tight going in, but when I attempted to slide it out an entire piece of the tab broke off. The shoe was not affected, I wonder if the cube was a factory defect.

Must-have for landscape photographers.

Jan 27, 2019

This is a simple-enough thing: its an acrylic cube with three bubble levels molded into it. You insert it into the flash shoe of a tripod-mounted camera, and move the head around until the three bubbles are centered. If you shoot off a tripod, you need this.

two way level

Nov 14, 2016

I keep on mounted to the camera, I've a number for the front standard as well. I appreciate the size and that it fits securely upon the rear standard of the Large Format field VEIW CAMERA, suppose you can use for that other type of image capture device.

Great little time-saver

Apr 4, 2013

This is an easy to carry and use device that aids quickly levelling the camera in all directions, critical for architectural and panorama work. It slides securely into the flash holder atop my Pentax K7. Should last indefinitely; would be hard to break.

Love It!

Feb 13, 2014

Really great product! It is small and easily fits on the hot-shoe. It's easy to read and really helps get our tripod camera rotator perfectly level. We put this on, tighten down the camera rotator and then swap it out for an on-camera flash or trigger.

Sleek functional bubble level

Jun 4, 2015

Fits perfectly on a DSLR hot shoe, works well as a level, is easily removed and transfers in seconds to another camera (DSLR, compact camera, etc.) that has a hot shoe. Fits snug, stays put, and looks clean/discreet on a DSLR camera body. Nice level.

Get level

I've notice when shooting my TSE occasionally I would get a little bit of convergence even thought my tripod bubble level was centered. An on body bubble level in the the only was to be sure and when this one came up in the deal zone I snapped it up.

I bought this on the B&H sale. Always wanted one for the c300-2. Works great. Professional level level! 3 axis and it connects to my cold or hot shoes. - now I can confirm what the tripod head is indicating, which I like the most. Just what I needed!

QUITE THE HANDY ITEM

Sep 28, 2012

I bought this level as an afterthought to another purchase but wasn't sure how much I would use it. Currently, I'm doing a lot of macro-photography and quickly found the level to be indispensible in composition. Now I can't set up a shot without it!
