I found some tape measures at the dollar store that had spirit levels built in - the tape measures were crap but the levels were fine so I bought 20 of them and removed the spirit levels.
I superglued them (carefully) to my tripod heads and on the standards and of my LF cameras they work great for that.

I just found the translation to "spirit level" = "water level" ? Yes, I'm looking for some kind of handmade solution, maybe I could just take the "level part" out an glue it as you did. I was just thinking loud but not hard enough:-) I could image visibility in the viewfinder to be a nice feature for architectural shots. Of course your right, fitting a level on the body for handheld shots does indeed not make a lot of sense, stupid me... thanks for the answer Markus >>-----Original Message----- >>From: J. C.
