p.1 #1 · A Cheap Tripod Level


I was in Lowes today and picked this up for $3.00. Compared it to my larger construction units and it's dead on. Didn't realize my dining table was so true.

Forgive the IQ as it was taken with my G2. When I moved from the G2 to the 20D I couldn't take a picture. Now a few years and two 40Ds' later I can't use the G2.

My dining room talbe is level. Trouble is, the rest of the house is off.

3 bucks? The chinese are probably giving them away free with any purchase on ebay.

You can get the cheap hotshoe mount bubble levels on ebay, I got one on the way, we'll see how true it is. Though the last Bubble level was $12 from amazon. I got the one you have in the picture too from there, does it have a magnet at the bottom? Mine was advertised as a satallite level. Though I use it for my photo tripod at work. Gits er job done.

No magnet. I tie-wrapped a Sandisk CF soft zippered case to one of my tripod legs so it will be there.
The small circular bubble levels drive me nuts.

Down load a free Labyrinth game on your iPhone
Start the game. It's a ton of fun and it's using the phone level sensor.
Press the Settings button - now the real level appears. You can calibrate it using a level surface.
Ok, it's not cheap

We used to play the REAL wooden one when I was a kid.
