I've never used one, but one of the most common "errors" I've seen in landscape shots here (my own included, believe me) is that the horizon is slanted to one side. It looks like this could take care of that.

I think I'm going to get one...

I was thinking of the Bogen one at B&H but it is $10 more. I emailed them to see what the shipping is. They are in Canada and the exchange rate helps with product but the shipping could be high.

Never heard of that specific item but I've seen a small level-battle
on a hotshoe. It was on this dude's 20D, looked useful for scenic stuff.

I have one, although I'm not sure it's by the same manufacturer.

It does a good job, although I've found a pocket level and/or the bubble on top of the tripod works just as well, and maybe better.

One of the problems is that it gets lost pretty easily in the bottom of the bag. It's a smallish piece, and easy to lose.

I have one and use it all the time.


You can take my 100-400 L away when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers.

After thinking about it, a dual axis one might be better for landscapes.

The Dubble Bubble would only work if you want the camera level vertical as well as horizontal. I know I sometimes "cheat" a little and instead of lowering the tripod I just tilt the camera down a little to get more ground in the picture. To then keep the horizon straight you would need an axis level.

Ignore my first post.

The dual axis is what I have. It works.
