|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board 5D Mark II Video Viewfinder for Video Ross Dettman, Photographer Bensenville | IL | USA | Posted: 2:11 AM on 11.06.09 ->> I'm interested in reading what others have to say about LCD viewfinder options for the 5D Mark II. I'm aware of the Hoodloupe 3.0 and the Zacuto Z-Finder V2 but wonder about other options. I'm open to all choices. I want a tool that will assist with critical focusing and composing and that will work well in bright sunlight. Thanks in advance.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Is it perfect? No. Is it affordable compared to some of the other options? Yes. Also check out www.cinema5D.com for more resources and ideas.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I would have bought it for the improved ergonomics alone, but my follow focus accuracy has gone way up. here is another option though http://lcdvf.bigcartel.com/  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

He makes a great viewfinder as well as a lot of other cool gear for DSLR video and still shooting. I've had great success using his "Run and Gun" set up on my 5D MkII. Bruce is also a super talented photographer and videographer and an all around good guy.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
