Although I already own a Hama Spirit Level, I ordered this. On the one hand because it has a more dragonfly, on the other hand because it affects more compact due to the cube shape. The water level is significantly larger than my old, but that's not the worst. It can be so hard to push to the hot shoe that I got them down hard again. For a second time I will not definitely use because I do not want to ruin the hot shoe of my camera. Also on another camera, the balance was pushing only half without significant effort. Conclusion: for the desired purpose is not useful. Whether it is an outlier in the production, I can not judge naturally.
