Bullseye bubble level

Can anyone point me to a source for small circular bubble levels?
I just can't seem to find the cheap little plastic levels I'm looking for.

Any ideas?

I checked B&H and nothing there is what I'm looking for. That unit from Kaiser would be ok, but $25?!?!

What I'm looking for would be like the ones listed on that woodworking site, but smaller.

Hi, A few nights ago I saw just what I and I think you are looking for on a non typical photo web site. It was about 1cm or so in diameter and was intended to be applied to the tripod head in an accessable, but unintrusive location. Whoa is me as it seems that I did not "save" the url to my favorites.

By non typical I mean not your usual big name, high dazzle photo store. Maybe a regional mom and pop shop. Do not despair as it is clear that someone makes a small bullseye type level for use on a tripod head. Oh yea, it was for a petinence. Last night, after reading your request, I search for it unsuccessfully, but I noticed a price differential of $40.00 USD for the same model number of Hama bubble level. Buyer be ware!

Life is uncertain, eat dessert first.

John

You probably are looking for a really small circular one. I have some, one glued on the top of am SLR, one glued to the side of my 15mm VC finder. About 10mm in diameter and 6mm high. I got them at a good hardware store. Special order from a pro bubble level manufacturer in Austria. Forgot the name though.
They look like these:

Yep, those little 1.4cm jobs would be perfect.
Maybe I should just haunt the hardware stores.

Are you serious? Velcro attachment? How level will that be?
