The Tilta Universal Bubble Level is a cylindrical bubble level on a knurled 1/4"-20 screw. Thread it in by thumb into any free thread on a cage, cold shoe mount or bracket and you have the horizon in view even where a tripod head level cannot help — handheld, on a gimbal, on a suction mount. It weighs 5 g and measures 17 × 17 × 14.1 mm, so it hardly gets in…
The Tilta Universal Bubble Level is a cylindrical bubble level on a knurled 1/4"-20 screw. Thread it in by thumb into any free thread on a cage, cold shoe mount or bracket and you have the horizon in view even where a tripod head level cannot help — handheld, on a gimbal, on a suction mount. It weighs 5 g and measures 17 × 17 × 14.1 mm, so it hardly gets in the way.
A level horizon is hard to judge from a screen, especially handheld. This level threads into any free 1/4"-20 and stays visible out of the corner of your eye.
The knurled knob tightens by thumb — no hex key, no screwdriver. Moving the level between cage, bracket and tripod plate takes a moment.

The bubble in the cylindrical vial shows tilt around the long axis. Centre it and the horizon is level.

It mounts with a single 1/4"-20 screw, so it fits anything with that thread — a cage, a cold shoe mount, a handle or a monitor arm.

The whole level weighs 5 g. You will not notice it on the rig, and in a bag it takes less room than a lens cap.

Tilta also makes a larger rotating version, the Rotatable Bubble Level (TA-RBL-B), which locks in 90° steps and watches the horizon in portrait as well; it weighs 17.5 g. The weight picture shows both versions side by side — the 5 g belongs to this product.
