A circular bubble level will not work upside down....  Many torpedo levels
do.  Some do not.

Again, pay attention to George's suggestion... get a small linear level,
mount or hold it in the hand, and level.

Not on the bottom.... then you have to straight look up, not too convenient
.  On the lower back or lower side usually works just fine.

The hardware store will be your savior...   you will find small levels for a
few bucks.

You may even be able to find the Leica Transit Level for about
$2,000,000,000.  Same bubble level, with a Red Dot.

They gotta make profits someway.....

I suspect you imagine a circular bubble level on the bottom.
You will achieve far more accurate plumb with linear bubbles on the side and
back.
I also carry small spirit levels which can be placed on ground glass, lens
barrel, etc. when doing  architectural and view camera work.
