| If you are buying a Matterport Camera ... There are two Desmond DLEV-1 Leveler Level versions. Either one will work and both are on the We Get Around Matterport Gear and Accessories Shopping List. I prefer the quick release version ... On the We Get Around Matterport Gear and Accessories Shopping List, it is called ... Desmond DLEV-1 Leveler Level Plus Discal Clamp for Tripod 3/8 Precision Leveling Base ($59.95)  For $10 less, you can get the non-quick release version. It screws directly into the base of the Matterport Camera. On our Amazon shopping list, it is called ... Desmond DLEV-1 Leveler Level for Tripod 3/8" Stud ($49.95)  Also, since this mount add height, you'll want this 4-section tripod so that you do not exceed 60" in Camera "eye-sight" ... Got gear and accessories that you  - please start a new MUG Forum thread and share ...Dan P.S. We Get Around is an Amazon affiliate. |

FWIW - the DLEV-1 Leveler is direct knock-off (clone) of Fanotec's EZ-Leveler-II (retail $99). And of course you can easily mount a Arca Style Clamp but price starts to go up higher. It's very common that many Chinese companies copy successful products and offer them up at half the price. Not much the original manufacture can do. At least buying from original manufacturer and a US based company ensures much better quality of product and support. Here the old adage stands true - you get what you pay for. |

| Promoted Post --- Hey Dan - not trying to pitch our products here but since you ask the item you show is the EZ-Leveler-II w/ hard shelled case ($109) which will not fit when clamp is mounted. The best clamp we offer which would work with Matterport Camera is QRC55 (F8303) for $50. The two together would be $149.00  Is anyone is interested in purchasing both EZ-Leveler-II w/o case and the clamp (F3138-1) just enter code "wegetaround" to receive 25% discount off the two items. Free shipping inside the US and Canada. |

| @marswalker The challenge with this bubble level is that once the Camera is on the mount, you can not see the level. Even if you could, many MUG Members would need to be on their tippy-toes. Much better to use a standard, flat bubble level across the Camera. Dan |

| You can always see the tube levels and I find it has sped up leveling immensely. Actually if you turn the camera you can find a position where the bubble level can be seen as well. No tippy toes needed. No separate leveling devices needed. Fabulous tool. I had the clamp d-lev and it was much less stable | ||

| @marswalker So, do you use a quick release of some sort, or do you spin the Matterport onto the mount every time? |
