Z-Finder Jr.

FLASH SALE!

BIG SAVINGS!!
$100 off regular price!
Was $265 now $165 for a limited time only


The Z-Finder Jr. is Zacuto’s most simple model optical viewfinder. It acts as a stabilizer, cuts out any extraneous light, offers 2.5x magnification, has a 40mm diameter Zacuto optical designed lens, and has multiple mounting options. The Z-Finder Jr. does not have a diopter, instead it uses Z-Finder Extender Frames to adjust the focal point in stages. The Z-Finder Jr's focal point is -4.75 and up (unlimited with extender frames). The Z-Finder Extender Frames attach to the skirt of the Z-Finder Jr. and allow you to semi-permanently stack the frames until the LCD screen is in focus for you. This method will help users who are farsighted and may have problems seeing up close.

The Z-Finder Jr. comes with two mounting options. The first is the silver forked Z-Finder Jr. Mounting Bracket shown in the product photos.* This mounting bracket must be sandwiched between a tripod plate (or similar) and the camera. An included rubber backed snap on frame attaches to the Jr. body and sits up against the camera LCD to avoid scratches or movement. The actual Z-finder Jr. is held in place with pressure from the fork of the bracket. This method is great for people who only shoot video. If you also take photos and will need to come up to the camera viewfinder, you may prefer the second method - our 3” adhesive Z-Finder Mounting Frame.** This method does not require the silver bracket or the rubber backed frame. The Adhesive Frame attaches directly to the camera LCD and the Z-finder can pop on and off that frame. This method will work for all 3” LCD screens.

*NOTE: The silver Z-finder Jr. Mounting Bracket will only work on small body cameras. (Canon 5D/7D/Nikon D3000 etc..) If you have a tall camera (Canon 1DM4, Nikon D4 etc.) or use a battery grip you cannot use this bracket. You can use the adhesive frame on any size camera. Our Pro Gorilla Plate and mounting brackets are compatible with the Z-finder Jr. and can be purchased a la carte on this page.

**NOTE: The Z-finder Jr. comes standard with our 3” adhesive frame for 3” LCD screens. It is also compatible with 3.2” LCD screens with the addition of our 3.2” adhesive frame which can be purchased separately here.

The Z-Finder Jr. includes:
Z-Finder Jr. Loupe with 2.5x magnification
2 Extender Frames
Z-Finder JR. Mounting Bracket and rubber backed snap-on frame
3” Adhesive Z-finder Mounting Frame
Lanyard and Lanyard Hook
Lens Cap and Sun Mask
Z-Finder Dust Cover

The Z-Finder Jr. comes with one installed Anti-Fog disc. This also acts as a lens protector and is expendable. More can be purchased here. We also have anti-fog wipes.





WARNING The Z-finder is a magnifier and as such will magnify the sun and could damage the LCD screen if the sun is allowed to shine directly through the Z-finder lens. This is not a defect but a physical property. Caution should be taken to avoid direct sun light. Proper use of the included lens cap and sun mask will dramatically reduce but not eliminate risk.

Z-Finder 3.2” Adhesive Frame Z-Finder 3.2” Adhesive Frame

 This adhesive frame is for cameras with 3.2” screens such as Canon 5D M3 & 1DX and Nikon D800 & D4.

Zacuto’s popular adhesive frame system is available for cameras with 3.2 inch screens. This fast, simple frame is a no frills solution for moving your z-finder quickly between cameras. This frame is compatible with every Z-finder on the market.

PLEASE NOTE: The 3.2” adhesive frame currently ships with one extender frame. In order to fit our standard Z-finder to wider LCD screens, we have modified the way it connects for this new frame. It snaps into the frame with tabs on the side. This new connection method requires the use of an extender frame in order to connect securely.

D800 USERS: The Nikon D800 has a dial close to the screen that gets in the way of our 3.2” adhesive frame. We recommend D800 customers use a clear screen protector to attach the sticky frame. You can use part number BM-12 that comes included with the camera or this screen protector which can be purchased separately. When attaching to the screen protector, only the top and bottom adhesive of the frame is used. The 3.2” sticky frames will be scored and marked so users can peel off the backing on the top and bottom only and keep the backing on the sides so the glue will not attract dirt and lint.

If you are looking for an adhesive frame for a standard 3 inch screen camera (Canon 5d m2, 7d, 60D, 550D, Nikon D7000, D3s etc.) please click here .

Z-Finder Pro 2.5x Z-Finder Pro 2.5x

 The Z-Finder Pro 2.5x is an optical viewfinder that allows DSLR cameras to have the correct form factor for video. This Z-finder will magnify the LCD screen by 2.5x and has a diopter for specific focus tuning. It cuts out any extraneous light and offers an initial point of stability by pressing your eye against our comfy, large eyecup. The Z-finder Pro 2.5x comes with a 40mm diameter Zacuto optical designed lens, anti-fog coated protective covers, and a mounting system designed for 3” LCD screens. (A 3.2” version is available.) The diopter allows you to dial in the focus to match your eye.

The 2.5x magnification is recommended in particular for users who are near sighted and may have problems seeing long distances. The Z-Finder Pro 2.5x has a diopter range of -4.75 and up (unlimited with extender frames). Users with 20/20 vision can use either magnification. It is a personal preference. This is the model we use with our electronic viewfinder packages. Your camera model is irrelevant when choosing between the 2.5x and 3x magnifications. If you are particularly far sighted (wear strong reading glasses) or are just looking for the biggest magnification possible we recommend the Z-Finder Pro 3x.

This frame is not compatible with the D800, D4, 1DX, or 5D Mark III. A 2.5x Z-finder packaged with a 3.2in frame for the MIII and D800 is available here! A la carte 3.2in and 3in Z-finder frames can be found here.

The 3x magnification is recommended in particular for users who are farsighted and may have problems seeing up close. If you wear strong reading glasses this is the model for you!

Your camera model is irrelevant when choosing between the 2.5x and 3x magnifications. If you are particularly nearsighted and have problems seeing distances or are just looking for a smaller magnification we recommend the Z-Finder Pro 2.5x. Farsighted users can still use the 2.5x model with the addition of the included Extender Frames.

This frame is not compatible with the D800, D4, 1DX, or 5D Mark III. A 3x Z-finder packaged with a 3.2in frame for the MIII and D800 is available here! A la carte 3.2in and 3in Z-finder frames can be found here.

EVF Snap EVF Snap

 The Zacuto Electronic Viewfinder (EVF) is a 3.2” high resolution monitor to be used in conjunction with any Z-Finder model. The EVF is compatible with all cameras that have an HDMI output, including most DSLRs, the Panasonic AF-100, Sony F3, RED ONE, RED Scarlet and RED Epic. The EVF is compatible with the Blackmagic Camera (or other camera with no HDMI output) with use of the Blackmagic HD-SDI to HDMI mini converter. The EVF allows you to operate with your camera "in-line" with your rod system and an offset viewfinder in front of your eye. We believe, this traditional film camera and ENG camera style of shooting is the most stable and comfortable. Now we can work this way with any camera! The EVF enhances the stability of any set up, gives you better resolution and focus ability, allows you to get your eye where it most comfortably needs to be, enables low mode shooting, and shortens a shoulder mounted camera package. With an external viewfinder, you’re no longer trapped behind the back of your camera. You can have your camera on a dolly or crane or in a car or anywhere and have the EVF in your hand.

The EVF Snap has our standard Zacuto Z-Finder Frame built into the unit. Any Z-finder model, Pro or Jr, can snap on and off the EVF. You can use the EVF as a small on-board monitor or in combination with any Zacuto Z-finder.

New firmware upgrades and EVF tech support can be found here.

The EVF Flip has a Z-Finder frame built into the unit that can be flipped open to 180 degrees. If a producer/client/director etc. wants to see into the viewfinder, you can flip it open instead of having to adjust so they can get their eye to the loupe. You can also pop off the Z-Finder and use the EVF as a monitor similar to the EVF Snap. The EVF Flip is compatible with any Z-finder.
