I need to find a spirit level

I have one gitzo tripod set up for still photography and one for video. I have one with the 75mm bowl that I use with a video head. I want to buy a 75mm half ball base like this one,

and mount at still photography ball head on top. I want to find a spirit level accessory that will fit in between so I can dependably level the head for panning. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks very much. I am trying to pare down the amount of kit I have to carry in the field when I shooting both video and stills.

The RRS leveling bases have a spirit level built in:

Ofcourse if yo ualready have the bowl the price difference is in favor of the Manfrotto hemisphere but if you don't, the Manfrotto bowl + half ball + RRS Leveling plate combination is slightly more expensive than the RRS TA -3-LB

Thanks Ellis. There is already a 75mm bowl mounted in the tripod. I normally use this tripod with a video head. This is an effort to need less stuff in the field when shooting both video and stills.
