The new Carry Speed VF-3 LCD View Finder does not sit low enough to be used on a camera like the GH2, so the solution would be to raise the camera. Here Scott writes in and shares his DIY mod using two Sima quick release adapters to get the viewfinder to somewhat fit on the [...]

Some good news is that Rob shared these [...]

If you’ve used one before, you’ll know how important a simple LCD View Finder is when shooting DSLR Video outdoors on a bright sunny day. Or how an LCD View Finder can add additional stability [...]

In bright daylight, it’s difficult to focus and set exposure on a bare LCD. Sometimes a quick LCD View Finder attached to the back of the camera is all you need (no batteries required). I still find an LCD View Finder a valuable tool to have, but haven’t seen many options available for the Canon [...]

Here’s a clever way to get a semi-permanent CarrySpeed Vfinder view finder to mount to your camera. The LCD glass protector was an old trick to permanently glue a sticky frame or even the DSLR LCD view finder itself, but they aren’t available in all camera models. If you don’t have this protector available for [...]

Yes, even high end view finders could fog up. Tested a few things, and this FOGTECH anti-fog liquid works great and is easy to apply. Just apply it with a wet pad and let it dry for 5 seconds. Makes a huge difference. A good thing to wipe on the GoPro HD Hero as well [...]

Trying to get a ViewFinder on a Canon 60D? iDC has an answer, but you may not like the price. It’s over $200 dollars for a baseplate that screws under the camera and comes with a Hoodman Loupe. IMO, I think the price is pretty high for something like a small Hoodman. Will it fit [...]

YouTube member Bandticker gives a tour on the recent View Finder to hit the market called the VF Prime. This view finder has a large eyecup and -/+ 4 diopter which most lower end view finders lack. It’s been featured on a few different websites, has received some excellent reviews. In this video there’s a [...]

Canon T3i / 600D shown with Letus Hawk VF LCD View Finder
Letus created a Hawk VF (View Finder) for the 3:2 aspect DSLR LCD’s like the T2i. It so happened to fit on the Canon 60D and fits pretty nicely on the Canon T3i as well. There’s a base plate that is mounted to the [...]

There’s the usual LCD View Finders that might work on the GH2, but a very interesting one from Varavon allows you to flip out the LCD and provide enough support so that you don’t break it off. Something that can’t be done with the traditional sticky metal frame. The company is the same who provided [...]

Finding a decent 3:2 LCD View Finder still seems to be on everyone’s list. I’ve been getting a few emails from Glenn today and he seems to have tracked one down from Meike. Now Meike was the one who released the LCDVF clone model a while back which everyone was pretty much satisfied with. They [...]

OK, the first part of the video is me testing out the Sony SLTA55 and it’s Auto Focus and Auto Exposure features. I’m not a fan of ‘Auto Exposure’, but as you can see the ‘Auto Focus’ kicks butt and works pretty fast. Not ideal for every situation, and with lots of movement happening in [...]

False LCDVF Advertisement on Amazon
Ok, I just wanted to point out something over at Amazon that needs some attention to prevent confusion. I don’t want anyone getting confused on what they might think is a great deal. I’ve posted information about the ‘LCDVF clone’ and made it clear that it is definitely not the real [...]

Thanks to a few people for leaving some comments on this item. It’s a new view finder loupe on the market that is said to fit the aspect ratio of the Canon 550D / T2i perfectly with no crop. Looks like a similar design we’ve seen before but now with a custom fit and [...]

Thanks to a reader submission, here’s an unusual LCD View Finder for DSLR’s that’s even viewable at an angle. Through the description it says it’s also magnified. It looks to be similar in design as the Zacuto Z-Finder, but doesn’t look to be quite the build quality. Prices are pretty steep, and I haven’t [...]
