Digital camera Review: Bubble level is hidden from view!
Summary: 4 Stars
This Amazon.com listing (and the manufacturer's own website) claims the Velbon DV-7000 has a bubble level. I received my tripod yesterday, and examined it carefully. It did not appear to have a level. I was quite unhappy!
But today I found that it does in fact have a level -- it's just "hidden". By doing a Google image search, I was able to find a picture of the head showing where the level is located. You have to tilt the top portion of the head all the way forward (so that, if a camera were on the plate, it would be pointed down toward the ground) to expose the bubble.
I don't know why Velbon chose to hide the level in this way. But it is there, and it seems to work fine. The other aspects of the tripod -- the legs, leg extensions, head, etc. -- all seem stable and well-constructed.
