This is great for awkward shooting positions where you have a hard time eyeing things up through the viewfinder. Also, when doing panoramic series this is nice to help make sure that your photos will actually stitch together when all is said and done. Even for normal shooting whenever you have to bend over most people tend to lean slightly, thus skewing their view, so this little gadget helps you make sure that you are really shooting level.

One of the key issues when photgrahing panoramic views is making sure the horizon is level. This is not always as easy as it sounds, so having this little gadget in your camera bag is a big help. This is even more critical if you're plan is to take several shots and stitch them together where you'll want to ensure that the multiple photos are all at the same level and inclination.

Allows you to level your camera. I like the convenience of having it on the flash shoe, so it doesn't get in the way when you're not using it, but it's there when you need it. Fits snug into my Canon 30D.

Only 4 stars (not 5) because paying this much for a piece of plastic kinda sucks, but I couldn't find one cheaper, so I had to bit the bullet, but I'm glad I did, so if you're looking for one, this works nicely.
