Tilta Expands Camera Line with New Bubble Levels

Tilta has recently broadened its Universal series of camera accessories by adding two new products: a screw-on bubble level and a rotatable bubble level.

These accessories are designed to enhance the usability of camera cages and rigs by allowing users to easily ensure their cameras are level.

Background of the Universal Series

The Universal series by Tilta was first introduced in January 2023, starting with a phone holder and 15mm rod adapters. The series was aimed at providing filmmakers with affordable and reliable solutions for various camera rig needs. Following the initial launch, Tilta also introduced a Universal cable clamp, emphasizing the company’s commitment to offering practical and cost-effective accessories for camera operators.

New Bubble Level Accessories

The latest additions to the Universal series include two types of bubble levels: one that screws on and another that is rotatable. These were developed in response to the absence of built-in electronic level displays in cinema cameras, a feature commonly found in DSLRs and mirrorless cameras.

Features of the Screw-on and Rotatable Bubble Levels

The screw-on bubble level is lightweight, weighing just 5g (0.17oz), and is constructed from aluminum. It can be easily attached to any 1/4″-20 mounting point on a camera cage or rig without the need for tools. The rotatable bubble level, also made from aluminum, weighs slightly more at 17.5g (0.61oz). It features a retractable locking pin and a large bubble level for easy viewing. Additionally, it can be rotated 90° in any direction, thanks to a large thumbscrew, making it versatile for achieving a perfectly level shot.

Pricing and Availability

The Universal screw-on bubble level is priced at $6, while the rotatable bubble level is available for $12. Both products are currently available for purchase. In comparison, similar products from Wooden Camera are priced at $12 for a round bubble level and $29 for a linear bubble level, highlighting the affordability of Tilta’s offerings.
