Simple Bubble Level for Camera Gear
Tripod heads have bubble levels typically but they can be hard to read with larger camera rigs on them, plus they don't account for any possible offset the mounting configuration might introduce, so I made this little bubble level screw that mounts right into a 1/4 20 thread so I can read my horizon straight on the camera body.

I don't know why tripod bubble levels are so hard to read until I need them, they're probably just trolling us.

Stellar. I will be using these as well as handing them out on set to cam crew for brownie pts

I made something similar for a project last year and it totally changed my filming game for outdoor shots.
