Decent offer for what it is

I was a little disappointed with the assembly method which is not clear from the product photos. You take this thread and wrap it around the camera. I thought it was a little tacky and cheap. However, I compared it to Hoodman, which uses a similar method. It seemed to me that it is very difficult to remove or put on the camera in a hurry. Overall this is a good deal for what it is. It has a diopter adjustment and the hood keeps its shape. I figured it wouldn't give me the professional look Iโ€ฆ

Recommended. Works as intended.

Great for my needs. Some say that clarity drops off a bit at the edges (which it does) but with a small readjustment of the viewfinder I didn't find this to be a problem for photographic purposes. My eyesight isn't as good as it used to be and this gives me extra confidence in the clarity of what I'm seeing. I also bought another extension cable and the other one can be plugged into the camera but it works the same way. Yes, a bit pricey, but if you need it, you need it. Check out the different

  • Sturdy construction

Good and simple solution

This is a great LCD screen viewer in bright daylight which I need for long exposures through 10 or 16 stop ND filters when the live image is quite dark because I like that preview -composition filmed at very high ISO. Even cranking up the LCD brightness is often not enough to focus and see detail in bright sunlight. This product helps with that. It's simple, easy to use, I like the lace hanging around my neck and it's pretty light. Two things to improve, I believe it could be thinner and moreโ€ฆ

Impossible to see images when viewed from certain angles

Pros: Very durable rubber construction. Small, compact. Cons: Due to the nature of the magnifying lens in the eyepiece, you must look through its absolute center and absolutely straight at it - if you don't, the image will immediately become blurry and/or distorted. This makes it almost impossible to see the images on the LCD clearly. returned it Originally bought to replace my Neewer 3.0x LCD magnifier which is identical to this one but with added magnifying power and an extended teardropโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Slightly surprised!

I thought it was a far cry from the hoodman quality I own. I was positively surprised! Diopters have always been the biggest problem with cheap viewfinders, but this one worked great. Easily conforms to my eyes and my friend's eyes. Great for night and astrophotography which is why I bought it. An additional plus is the strap. Not only does it hold the viewfinder around your neck, but it also doubles as a support for attaching the viewfinder to the back of your camera over the live view screen!

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • There are downsides
