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.

What department did you get it in? Lowes is a BIG store.

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.

Here is the best and funkiest level.
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.
