Just thought I'd share this with you all. They only cost a little more than a $2 each. Just another (cheap) accessory for the bag. :D

    That's what she told me too! :ivar haha j/k

    I thought these were a cool little item as well and since they were so cheap... I figured I would bring them to everyone's attention so they could get some too. deal.gif I have already received mine and I'm happy with the quality. I may never use it but I have it if I need it for panos or just whatever! Accessories are the next best thing after cameras/lenses!

    You sure that's what you REALLY want? With a wife you drastically cut down the amount of camera gear (and other toys) you want. ;)

    Another nice option, available at most camping/RV places, and Home Depot, Lowes, etc is a small (1") bubble level used to level campers and RVs when parked - they come with screw-on or stick-on base plates, but the plates can easily be removed leaving you with just the cylindrical bubble level. A drop of super glue and it's fixed to your tripod.
