I don't like the bubble levels on my tripod head, so I bought this. Works well. Bubbles are easy to see aand respond well to minute changes in tilt.

Terrible!!!

I Ordered Two Of These, And They Are Both Literally Half A Bubble Off. I Sent Them Back For An Exchange (thank You B&H), And The Two Replacements Are Identically Bad. There Must Be A Bad Batch. I'll Be Reaching Out To B&H To Return The Replacements. I Guess I'll Quit Trying To Same Money And Get A Couple Of The Expensive Ones. As An Architectural Photographer, Level Camera Is Critical. I Need To Quit Being Frugal. See The Photos Below. Then You Turn A Level Around To Face The Other Way, They Should Be The Same, Not Drastically Different.

Are these Vello levels any different from the other ones? They all look 100% identical and I know a lot of companies use the same products and just sell them under their own brand.

Will this fit the Sony A7R4?
Asked by: DANIEL G
I can't imagine why it wouldn't. It just needs to slide into the hotshoe. It fits my Sony cameras no problem. Sometimes I also just drop it onto the LCD when doing and overhead shot. Generally, just super handy to have a small level you can use on the hotshoe or on the camera itself.

question

Is this product waterproof?
Asked by: Anonymous
Make sure you buy the newer water tight version. First generation isnt; once water gets in, the air bubble disappears, and it no longer gives an accurate reading.

question

DOES THIS FIT THE SONY A6000 HOT SHOE?
Asked by: Anonymous
I think it would fit. I bought one for my Panasonic micro four thirds and found out that the camera shows you the horizon line. In fact I havent used it yet and dont need it for the pictures I take. Maybe it is very good for a special kind of photography, but I dont know which one It is. I dont think it is a practicall accesorie
