Zacuto Z-Finder Pro Overview

Zacuto's Z-Finder Pro 3x optical viewfinder is a necessary tool for shooting sharp, stable video on DSLR cameras like the Canon 5D MkII, 7D, Nikon D90, D300s and others. Whether shooting handheld or on a tripod, the Z-Finder Pro turns your camera's 3" LCD screen into a clear, easy-to-focus viewfinder that lets you see your image in magnified detail even under the brightest sunlight. Just as crucially, the Z-Finder provides an extra degree of handling comfort and a crucial point of contact--between camera and eye--that adds stability to any handheld video.

The Pro 3x version offers an adjustable diopter that enlarges the LCD image by a factor of 3, so you can see every detail for pinpoint focus. The viewfinder attaches to your camera via the included Gorilla Baseplate and Z-Finder mounting frame, which mount to the bottom of your camera using a standard 1/4"-20 screw. A non-stick rubber backing ensures a tight fit and prevents scratching of the LCD screen, so that the entire Z-Finder snaps off easily when not in use. Once detached, the unit can hang conveniently around your neck from the included lanyard.

Note:
For use with taller-bodied cameras such as the Canon 1D Mark IV and Nikon D3S, an optional Z-MFT mounting frame is required.
3x magnification
40mm diameter lens for excellent light throughput
Allows DSLR cameras to have correct form factor for video
Field of view perfectly matches 3" LCD screen size
Diopter range is -2.75 and up (unlimited with extender frames)

question

does it work straight with the sony a7s or do i need some extra accessories?

Works straight out of the box with all 3 inch dslr screen, fixed ones ofc. Camera mounts on gorilla plate which has mounting holes foe tripod plate, and u afix on gorilla plate little frame on which loupe snaps on. There is also adhesive frame for loupe if ur camera has rotating screen and cannot use gorilla plate. I use it on canon 6d with gorilla plate. Hope this bit of info helps. Cheers, Viktor

question

Looking for the Z Finder Pro (2.5x or 3x or Jr) that best fits the Nikon D800 DLSR camera. Additional factor: I understand that the Zacuto Pro 2.5x is recommended for nearsightedness, which I have.
Asked by: Anonymous
One of the X-Finder Pros for 3 LCD screens would be the correct fit for the D800. Between the 3X and 2.5X, most people prefer the 2.5X. I would suggest going with the 2.5X (B&H # ZAZFINDPRO2).
