Z-Finder #Z-FIND

Z-Finder
View More Images   View More Images
PLEASE NOTE: Due to high demand, the Z-finder has a 5-7 day lead time. Your order will ship within 7 days of placing the order.

The Z-Finder is Zacuto’s Optical Viewfinder that allows DSLR cameras to have the correct form factor for video. It offers 3x focusable magnification, a 40mm diameter lens, an eyecup preventing extraneous light leakage, and a field of view perfectly matched to LCD screens. With Optics by Schneider, this 6 oz viewfinder is a filmmaker’s best tool for creating precision focus. The Z-finder currently fits the Canon 5d, Canon 7d, Nikon D90, Panasonic GF1, Panasonic GH1 (see note below), and many other cameras. The Z-finder is made to fit a 3” diagonal screen but other factors come into play such as button placement, slanting of the camera viewfinder etc. Please see below for interior dimensions of the Z-Finder.

The Z-Finder attaches to your camera LCD by using a flat snap fit frame. The snap fit frame attaches to your LCD screen with a double sided adhesive. The Z-finder snaps on and off to the flat frame very quickly. The Z-Finder also has optional rubber bands, Z-Bands, to hold the Z-finder in place. The Z-Bands are just a security measure to hold the Z-Finder in place in case of accidental bumping. The Z-bands are an option and can be added below. The Z-Bands cannot be used without the snap fit frame!

We also added a lanyard hook on the outside of the Z-Finder so you can attach a Zacuto lanyard to your Z-Finder. This allows for the user to quickly take the Z-finder off and on when needed. The lanyard hook and lanyard is included with the Z-Finder.

Z-Finder Features:
3x magnification
Range of 3 diopters
Allows DSLR cameras to have correct form factor for video
Field of view perfectly matched to LCD screen size
No light-leak eyecup
40mm diameter lens for excellent light throughput
Weight: 6 oz.
Outer dimensions of snap fit frame: 71mm wide x 56mm tall
Inner dimensions of snap fit frame: 62mm wide x 46.7mm tall


Extra Notes & Warnings:
- If you are going to be moving between extreme environments, it is suggested that you use an anti-fog material. Zacuto sells the Fog Eliminator; 3 sheets for $5.00.
- If you have two cameras or just need a spare mounting frame, that can be added when checking out as well.
- If you wear reading glasses/farsightedness, check the option below for taller mounting frame. The taller mounting frame is a temporary fix until we get our new frames. Once we get the new frame in stock, we will automatically send it to you. If you check the taller frame option, we will only send you the taller frame with the Z-finder, not the single frame.
- 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 sun magnification.
- We have modified the snap fit frame to fit the Panasonic GH1. However, the Z-finder hangs below the GH1 camera body, therefore in order to set the camera down flat you need to have a plate on the bottom of the camera such as the Manfrotto 394. If you have the GH1 camera and want to use the Z-finder, when ordering please select that you have the GH1 camera.
