It was interesting to see yet another "chrome plated egg" system. What I have been using is the Jasper Engineering Pano Bracket and a D-100, positioned to take verticals. Images are then stitched.
The plastic levels offer some advantages--ability to see through them, for example--but the Jobu level is in a class by itself for quality feel.
As I said, bubble levels are hard to get a reasonably accurate read on when viewed from the side, as they are when used at eye level.
Please let us know if and when you decide to produce a tube level!!!!!

I received the levels I ordered last week. Excellent quality product and a pleasure to deal with Ian!
FWIW, one of the two levels was for a friend (belated B-Day gift). I gave it to him yesterday and he was genuinely thrilled to receive it. He owns a business that makes after-market accessories for sports cars, including aluminum and titanium shift knobs and e-brake handles. So he really appreciated the fine craftsmanship found in the Jobu level!

Bubble level received. It is VERY nice and at that price, it may be a steal. The quality is incredible and it fits absolutley perfect. Tight but not too tight. So far its going to save me plenty of time aligning horizons and what not....
Thank you!
Thank you!

Is it possible to get one with green liquid in it? I'm not exactly in the market for one right now (all my money has pretty much been spent), but in the future...

Tube levels will be available shortly in 2 varieties.
A) El cheapo
-- basically the same as a Hama or Manfrotto, but I expect to be able to price at about $18-20US
B) Machined tubular -- Hopefully available in about 4-5 weeks. Fluid will be yellow or green. Price-- TBD.
Also:
C) Dubble-Bubble-- we hope to have coloured bulls-eye style available in a few weeks as well.

Dubble Bubble Level receiving earlier this week, excellent build quality and performs perfectly, I couldn't be happier with it. Thanks Ian for the excellent professional service and quick shipping. Expect to deal with me again! Two thumbs up!

Got mine two days ago and very pleased. I don't know if they're still offering at this price, but a bargain for a quality North American made piece of gear.
Thanks!

A) El cheapo -- basically the same as a Hama or Manfrotto, but I expect to be able to price at about $18-20US = Works great!!!
If you can come in at half the price more power to you. But quit calling them EL Cheapo: The Manfrotto / Bogen levels work great, you can just glance over and see where your line of sight is!!!
Sorry, but I have used the Manfrotto bubble "hard" out in the field for well over a year. I used your current product for one day and then sold them. Is your product bad... NO, but it is not as versatile as the clear Manfrotto / Bogen level. If you come up with something as tested in the field as the clear Manfrotto / Bogen level then talk some smack!
It is very "rude" to knock another companies "great" product!

Oh dear, I apologize if it sounded like I was knocking on Hama or Manfrotto's design. I was actually mocking my own levels as 'less expensive'. Jobu typically names all our products with a silly or catchy name, and we were really going to call ours "El Cheapo". There was no slight intended against any other company.
I apologize if I've accidentally mocked anyone out there. It was not intentional.

I'll be interested in one of the tube levels when they are available as well. I've found the bubble levels much more tedious to work with. For me, at least, the tube levels are much quicker to use. YMMV.

iang,
Sorry, earlier in my life I spent 8.5 years as a retail sales manager for a rather high-end store. Nothing got on my nerves more then when a sales rep, or manufacturers rep would come in and start talking down a competitors established product.
I am sure with the quality of your current products, your soon to be released products will be very nice.
I apologize for not understanding the intent of your post.

I received mine just the other day, and I must say, it really is nice to see that workmanship hasn't fallen completely by the wayside. I don't use levels much, but ordered one anyway. At the risk of sounding a little creepy, I just love the way the thing feels in the hand. Very smooth, looks good too, and the fit in the shoe is what the 550EX should feel like when it's mounted on a MkII. Just a nice little gem for gadget-minded geeks like me.

Ian,
Just want you to know that the Bubble Level received today is beautiful and worth every penny. If the other one ever shows up, I may even buy it from you instead of returning it. Thank you.

Stephen,
I'm glad you like the level!
For anyone else that is still waiting on delivery, just as an FYI, some packages have taken anywhere up to 3+ weeks to arrive in the USA as well as Canada. It doesn't make any sense, but it is just the postal service for you.
Please make sure to mention if any of your purchases are time-sensitive as the standard flat rate shipping should not be used in those cases! Inexpensive = slow.
We do offer several other shipping options. Just ask.
