I happen to see one of these attached to someones Flash hotshoe and was wondering if anyone here uses something similiar? Seems like it would aid in composing images! Just wonderin'

$32 is a bit steep for a simple spiritlevel. Add to that the S&H and it's too much. I think it'll be simpler just to goto the hardware store, buy a bargain leveler for $3 and rip out the spirit levels.

Not a chance at that price LOL.Ripping apart a level is the option I took.
I know I can do some images a bit tilted, but that is because I was rushing it.
Our eyes can see plumb (vertical) but not level horizontal.

Does it only come in green ?
And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies
live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to
sea in a Sieve.

P.S.- is the tripod (no matter what colour) with an air bulb 'add-on' some old fashioned artifact ?

Most tripods have a spirit level built into the head - if they don't then the above accessory is very useful indeed.

I have 2 heads for my Manfrotto tripods, neither of which have a spirit level. And they weren't cheap either.

The quick-release plates that came with my tripod have levels but you can't see them when a camera is attached!
