Expensive Plastic
(4 out of 5) by Sean M. Scully on Mar 31, 2007 (Toledo, Ohio USA)The first hotshoe bubble level I purchased survived a whole year and a half before it fell off my camera somewhere in northern Iceland (I did spend several hours back tracking but I was unable to find this bright green $30 piece of plastic in the snow). As far as tools go, this is one of the most frequently used item in my camera bag. I use it for the vast majority of my shots to ensure I have a level horizon (which makes stitching panoramic shots much easier). The only drawbacks are that the plastic may eventually wear away enough that it no longer fits in the hotshoe leaving it rather prone to slipping out without much force and the price: it's a $30 piece of plastic with an air bubble! In all fairness, it does hold up to abrasion rather well.

Bubble Level Usefulness
(5 out of 5) by Loraine Arnold on Jun 30, 2005This fits easily into the flash shoe on top of my SLR as well as digital compact camera hot shoe. Comes in handy for making sure photos ehere there is a horizon line are level.
Quality of this brand is very good.

bubble balance digital camera
(4 out of 5) by Product User on Jan 16, 2007this is a bit pricy for what it is, but useful for handheld shots and if your triprod doesn't have balance indicator a good thing to use. nice and compact and seems decent quality..

Priceless
(5 out of 5) by A. Obannon on Jun 9, 2007 (Roselle, NJ)20 times easier than using the bubble on a tripod. Priceless when it comes to straight horizons. Definitely worth its weight in gold.

Acceptable but you can find better
(3 out of 5) by usrbingeek.com on Jan 15, 2009 (Milton, Vermont USA)While the price savings (at the time of this review) is significant the quality is not up to par with the $33 Really Right Stuff RRS-337 Dual Axis Level (available only from Really Right Stuff) or the $25 Jobu Design Dual-Axis Clear Bubble Level with Easy See Green Fluid.. Both have much darker liquid and thicker lines allowing you to more easily see the bubble and determine if it's actually level. Additionally the plastic doesn't seem to be as dense, thick, or as strong as the Really Stuff or Jobu. I have doubts how long it'll last.
I received this in place of a Jobu that I ordered as it was out of stock at Adorama. Adorama has stated they'll refund the difference but I really wish they would have just backordered the Jobu for me.
