Can anyone tell me where I can get a inexpensive hotshoe level? I seem to remember seeing an online retailer selling them for about $5. The ones I see at B&H are pretty pricey ($26-$50) plus shipping

Thanks

Here ya go...I just bought three. For some strange reason, I find it easy to lose one every now and then. Takes about two weeks from ordering to receiving:

Thanks I had just found that site. Do they ship from china? Free shipping it doesn't matter uh...but just curious as I couldn't tell if they were here or overseas.

Thanks for the link

I bought the same one but I don't use it as I found my eyes to be way more precise than that... even when I close them!

I've bought a half dozen of them from Dealextreme. I use them as stocking stuffers for my photog friends. They're fairly accurate in the hotshoe, but not as accurate as a bubble level on the tripod head. Don't get me wrong...on a dead level surface, they're spot on, but the hotshoe was never designed to be level on the camera, so in that position, they're off as much as the hotshoe itself is.
