Review on πŸ” Opteka 11x Zoom Professional Micro Director's Viewfinder: Ultimate Imaging Precision with HD Multicoated Glass and Click Stops by Carlos Phillips

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Small, compact and simple

The Opteka Micro Professional Director's Viewfinder is a good tool for filmmakers who want to compose shots in advance. The viewfinder is easy to use without instructions. 5 year warranty (estimated), the box includes a small cleaning cloth, a soft case and a neck strap. The zoom range is 18-200mm (full frame), however beyond 50mm the viewfinder field of view becomes unusable. I only use 18-50mm distance, it's very hard to see further. You can adjust your TV's aspect ratio up to 16:9, up to cinematic 2.35.1 or 2.55.1. In general, I use the Opteka Micro Director viewfinder for quick composition planning while still looking fashionable.

Pros
  • 4-element high definition multi-coated glass optic | Rugged black aluminum metal body
Cons
  • Requires power outlet
