The best is to have a bubble on the base of the head, but placing
the level on the camera will do the job on a shot with limited
camera movements (pans, etc.) if the camera has a flat spot
you can use as a reference.

I've seen small rectangular bubble levels in photo stores
(on a key chain IIRC). You might find something usable
at the Home Depot, or other home improvement store.
