Looks very cheaply built November 14, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I don't know how this thing could cost $42. It looks very cheap, low quality plastic. Furthermore, it's not precise at all. To make the image horizontal, I have to make sure that approximately 2/3 of the bubble are on the left side of the welding line. The precision level is something like +-2 degrees which I guess isn't much more precise than your unarmed eye could see. Lastly, the copy I received seems to be used, thinking about returning it back.
Wish I had gotten the 3 axis instead. October 15, 2008 2 out of 4 found this review helpful
When you flip the camera to vertical the level only shows one axis, so you can't do horizontal and vertical leveling at the same time.

Get this if you do panoramics or inside shots that need to be level, good quality unit. Get this don't waste you money on other "cheaper" units (like I did) you will end up buying this one after the other one breaks or falls apart...like I did...
