This is the perfect item for anyone shooting wild life especially birds. You can zoom in on your subject at 100% then look through the Elvid OptiView and see the clarity using the magnifier to adjust focus. Also great for using it without the magnifier to block the sun so you can see the LCD screen. I would suggest purchasing extra frames. They seem to loose their grip after time. These are NOT permanent adhesives. They are meant to be removable if you need. Pricey ? Yeah, but it saves lots of grief and especially that missed shot out in the field that everyone knows about. Oh , did I forget to mention , Its great for shooting in video when you WANT the sun at your back and can't see the video on Live View. This will fix that. I had this piece for over 3 years now. It works. I use it on my Nikon D850 with a 200-500 Nikon lens lots of times. It doesn't get old. Fabulous !

This LCD viewfinder produced exactly what was expected. Magnified view of my LCD with a clear image. The neck strap offered easy carrying, and the magnetic strip is strong, but not too strong.

Hi, do you know if exists a viewfinder with cockpit like GGS - Swivi S5 loupe? I need to see the image from above for shots from below. Thanks

We recommend using a separate on-camera monitor attached to a viewfinder for more flexible viewing positions.

Asked by: GUILLERMO
The Fuji X70 was a 3 inch screen so this Pro-Am would be a better fit: https://bhpho.to/3ebAODy
