DSLR Hot Shoe Spirit Level - help!

[jedipie]

Hi there

I'm thinking of getting a hot shoe spirit level

Any advice?

Is a 2 level or 3 level one better? How about this flat one?

I have just ordered one of these http://www.7dayshop.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=777_1&products_id=107738 hoping its easier to see than my bubble type especially with less than perfect eyesight

I've got the 7dayshop one which is superb when shooting from a tripod but I can't see it when shooting handheld.

I've got a few hotshoe bubble levels and one of them is actually reasonably accurate when checked against a long builder's level - the others aren't. I also have a Seculine digital level (similar to the 7dayshop one) which is accurate and can be seen through peripheral vision when the camera's handheld to the eye.
