In addition, a 3.2 inch monitor is often too small to see details, even if you get really close to the monitor where you may have difficulty focusing. Enter the LCD viewfinder.This viewfinder provides a loupe with an eyepiece of 3x magnification. The loupe slides into a small plate mounted in the tripod screw hole on the bottom of the camera. There are adjustments to position the loup precisely over the monitor so you can see the whole screen, and it comes with an extender, which I didn’t try, if you use an add-on power pack. I found that this viewfinder met all of my needs as a DSLR videographer.I used to use another brand of viewfinder that hung down from the hot shoe on my camera. Although it offered a supplementary hot shoe on top it was not rigid enough to keep the entire monitor visible or hold an accessory mounted in that hot shoe rigid.Another well designed brand costs almost 5 times as much, and requires another plate if you want to mount your camera on an ARCA-Swiss type head. The Elvid plate fits directly into an ARCA-Swiss head.The Elvid has a rotating lens that moves backward and forward for focusing on the monitor. I couldn’t see any difference as I adjusted focus but the monitor always seemed sharp to me.The Elvid comes with a lens cover that was difficult to keep in place. This was not important to me as the eyecup kept anything from striking the eyepiece in my camera backpack.Some have complained about light leaks, but the Elvid fit closely to my Nikon D850 monitor and I noticed no leaks. However the gasket that fits between the viewfinder and monitor did come loose. A spot of glue solved this problem.The viewfinder is hinged in the middle so that the rear portion can be raised. I have no idea how to use this feature but it didn’t interfere with the use of the viewfinder.The bottom line is that I am happy with this viewfinder and glad I didn’t have to spend another $300 for the same purpose. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars Gray market item *by B***Y on Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2018* The item was defective. Turns out a tiny part was missing. Not covered by warranty. This was a gray market sale. Product is nice but not usable because of this. Be careful. To their credit Amazon has issued an immediate credit but I did not expect this to be an issue dealing through them. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Nice and solid body metal no plastic easy to setup ... *by M***. on Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2018* Nice and solid body metal no plastic easy to setup but needs to be fastened to the upper part of body of the camera with tiny bongecord to stay nicely attach to wieving area (there was a small gap were the light was leaking) if you buy it you will know what i talking about --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/38176120-optiview-250-3-2-lcd-viewfinder](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/38176120-optiview-250-3-2-lcd-viewfinder) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
