well, i rather pay $10 more to get a nicely done one... those bubble spirit can be bought at about $15 from some shop (most shop are way overpriced, ard $25-30+. alternative is to get from ebay, probably $5USD or less + shipping etc sldn't be more than $15+ also)

which would be good for setting the levelness of the tripod... but depending on the way the tripod head is tilted, the camera might not be following the levelness of the tripod...

The benro one i have got a level on the leg area and a level on the quick release part. Bleagh. I take photo.



The 2 white things are sprit levers

I guess this cube is for those tripod that don't have built in ones everywhere bah.
