I purchased something like this off Amazon for £18 and it works brilliantly, simple yet effective

On looking for something else, I see Optics Warehouse has dropped the price to £7.95

I looked at the Elltech page and the first thing that struck me was the bubbles look 'wrong'; misshapen and not the same size as the indicator lines. It also isn't very convincing when they don't show it actually being used. So what does it do and how does it work?

Use the mini level to level the rifle.

Strap the second level over the end of the barrel, using the mini one as reference. Secure the barrel level into place, both levels should now be central.

Now remove the mini level and use that on top of the scope, the one round your barrel is the reference, if you’ve tilted the rifle realign with what’s on your barrel
 
Been looking into this recently as I have one that doesn't seem to sit right, whichever way I adjust it seems to be very slightly canted one or the other.

A weeny little level to sit on the gun seems right, but I don't understand how another one replaces the usual plumb line.

Nor do I understand, if the scope is rotated slightly and I turn the gun say 1° to compensate, won't it just work the same anyway, as long as its constant?

Once you start using one of these it all makes sense
 
A mate tought me a long time ago to line up by looking down the vertical part of the reticle, through the rear of the action and onto the stock. That set me right for a long time but, I had good eyes then 👍

Before that I'd use a length of string with a weight on the end pinned up in a doorway.

Ultimately, I suppose there's no right or wrong way as long as you can get an accurate result 🙂👍

I had this on my gx40, in the end i spun the mount clamps round and it centered spot on. Might be worth a go as i noticed that they're 2 different profiles on the clamps.
 
As I see it, the rectangular piece has an inner slope matching the angle of the wedges.
The rectangular base goes on your flat rifle rail and you push the wedge in, on the slope, under the flat centre of your scope. You then have parallel rail flat to scope flat.

Unless... your dovetail is rounded on top, as many are. Then what do you do?
