Why is there no bubble level? [ New ]

Do people not mind video that is not level? Yeah i could glue one onto the gopro frame but does anyone make such a thing? I don't think the hereo 6 has a bulit in level.

GoPro cameras are action cameras, and as such aren't anticipated to be used like traditional cameras. While a level might be nice in some instances, it would really be just an added expense (no matter how little) for a feature rarely used in the action sport market.

As far as attaching a level, yes, you can get cheap one bubble levels at any hardware store or even on Amazon. I actually have a level that I keep in my camera bag. I don't have it attached, but it has occasionally come in handy. Mostly though, I just level my pictures and videos in my editor using the horizon.
