You get what you pay for which is a pretty good deal!

I had two of these and am ordering another one. I use it with Sony A7iii. However happy you are with it, it falls off easily and seems just as easy to break.

While it's quite large, it's not concave enough to give me the seal I was hoping for. If I heated it up and shaped it more aggressively to get a deeper cup it might suit what I'm…
