The level to have
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...
Works as intended
Seeing as the level is essentially a sealed chamber 3/4 full of liquid, it's not exactly a difficult function to perform. The unit fits snugly in my hot shoe without being overly tight, and the lexan/plastic is very clear. One thing a buyer should be aware of are ground "dimples" on one tip of each axis. Obviously this doesn't impede the function of the device, but it does make it look a little cheap (hence the -1 star).
Wish I had gotten the 3 axis instead.
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.
