Recommend a digital spirit level

[DaveA]

Hi all
Which digital spirit level would you best reccomend on bang for buck basis for leveling a table?
Or do u prefer manual to digital?
Recs welcomed, thanks!

There are free apps for your phone that should do the job

Are their people that you can hire to level pins?

I feel too old and knackered to crawl under them now

Make sure it’s calibrated on a known flat surface otherwise the casing or camera lens will affect the left/right measure. You can also use a standard spirit level to check left to right.

There's loads on Amazon, all pretty much do the same thing. I've got this one:

I had a similar one before it but it used a button cell battery that was always dead when I wanted to use it, so replaced with the above which uses a AAA battery.

Thanks i will get one of the 20 quid ones ordered tomorrow... no pin surely can be wonky enough to warrant 500 quid!?! Wonky pins are mental tho

And i think the person is right sayin might be the camera lens on mi phone thats causing the wonk... to be honest jurassic park (jp2) is pretty unplayable at the best of times so need it straight to give me another 1% chance

I don't think you can correctly calibrate Pinguy on these new phones with protruding cameras. The app asks you to rotate the phone, and as they don't lie flat with the camera, the wonk then goes the other way.

Got a nice digital anglometer now which I trust... first one I think was faulty....

Pins now level...

Need to revert my muscle memory it must be used to wonky pins

Hence the need to rotate, the app then knows where ‘level’ is. Really does work, only app I’ve ever used for levelling
