Introduction: $0 Camera Level

A nikon SLR 3 way camera level out of things at home
that is sturdy enough to take on and off with out breaking off


if you are the minority who does not have a level at home check lowes or home deport .. there $4-6 ... still cheaper than the $30 camera level that only measures the horizon

(note: i apologize for my spelling and grammar ... forgive me on that)

Step 1: Parts

a 3 way lowes level (who does not have one somewhere?)
a big screw driver
a big hammer
a nikon (or otherwise) hot shoe cover(nikon model # BS-1 comes on most cameras)
super glue
hot glue (use with a hot glue gun or lighter)

Step 2: Open It Up!

i held it vertical and placed the screw driver in the top and slowly hammered down removing the plastic level tubes as i go

Step 3: Putting It Togeather

looking on top of the shoe it should have 2 bumps like this | | .. place super glue in this than center and place one of your level tubes on that and hold it down until it drys ... it will automatically be held horizontally perfectly

fill the bottom of one of the tubes and put superglue on it before the glue drys and smush (with lack of a better word) it on the shoe ON THE FRONT END AND CENTER (lining it up with the center lines on the vertical tube)

NOTE: it should be placed on the front side of the shoe facing where the lens would be

put hot glue on the top and super glue as before on the same tube and quickly place it on the table and carefully line the last tune up so its perfectly aline using the 2 striped on the horizontal tubes

NOTE: if you do the way shown you will still be able to use the built in flash

Step 4: Using

shown here on my D90 it works both with the camera in horizontal and vertical positions

Step 5: Result

i took this photo using it (i used the process of HDR ofcourse)
