Flipbac 3" Angle Viewfinder and LCD Screen Protector for Digital Cameras, Black

I have one older digital camera without a re-positionable screen. By using the Flipbac I can easily get low-level shots. Really made an old camera very useful again!

It's a great screen protector and adheres to the camera easily and stays put. Since it is essentially a mirror you do have to flip it all the way down when not using it for angled shots otherwise, depending on lighting situations, you will get glare from the mirror when shooting. It's a fun little gadget and better than nothing at all if your camera doesn't come with an angled viewfinder;

Good alternative to the similar feature on the D5100/5200 if you can live with a mirror image and more comfortable with this solution to see ground level display more easily. Not sure twisting and turning the LCD on the D5100/5200 won't result in premature mechanical failure. Adorama service was commendable. I ordered the wrong size and they replaced it immediately. They have my future business and recommendation to friends.

used it with Fuji X100 to take shoots from waist level

This little mirror lets you shoot from waist level or overhead. Simple. People think you are staring at you cellphone and texting. On my s95 perfect. Caveat : attaches with 1mm 3M LCD mounting tape which is not reusable. Mine arrived without it and Flipbac sent a replacement -but they are in Canada and it took 2 weeks. Chose your mount once and for all. I gave the replacement to my daughter and mounted with 2mm tape I had.I love it.

I intended to use this as a cheap waist-level viewfinder for my Nikon D300, but I gave up on it because it's awkward to use since the inverted image is confusing (hard to figure out which way to move the camera to bring the subject into the frame). I gave up on this and bought an electronic viewfinder which is much more flexible and includes a remote shutter release although it was much more expensive.

I have limited neck movement ability so this is ideal for me to take pictures of ceilings, etc. It does protect the screen well and is easy to operate. It's a little clumsy to use if you want to take a quick photo. Once it's on it is very difficult to remove.

I put this on my Canon S95. It was easy to install, and it functions as described. Quality is good. It does add some bulk to the camera, making it difficult to put in and take out of my camera bag. It also catches on the zipper of the bag. One of the things I like about the S95 is the small size, but this product makes it a bit bigger and bulkyier.

I shoot more without using it that with it so it gets in the way.

Protects lcd monitor well but gets in way of quick review of photos

A simple , inexpensive way to shoot low angle shots.

It serves well as a screen protector, however, a missing adhesive strip in its design makes it feel as though it will come off when you open it.

My concern is the seal for dust and debri, the item does not close tight enough for complete seal of the LCD.Some may find it useful but for me it is more difficult than the pop off covers, also the open angle was not that easy to view.

I bought this product thinking it would be great for low angle shots, which it was. But after only a few months of use the mirror no longer stays in position, it simply falls straight down. After a little bit of use there isn't enough friction to hold the mirror in place. Great idea, but faulty design.

It protects the digital screen on my camera very nicely and is quick and easy to open

The Flipbac is conceptually brilliant. In a simple but fantastic design it not only protects the LCD screen on your camera but it also adds a multi-angle view of the screen which is a great benefit in many situations. While it is not as versatile as an articulated fold out screen I think I like this functionality better since the articulated screen is going to boost the camera price and be a likely future failure point. The price is quite excellent and you'd expect to pay that much or more for a good secure protection cover but to add this nifty two way mirror reflection is truly function and form combined.

This has to be the best little accessory I've added to my Nikon D300 - it protects the screen and gives you the added plus of being able to take shots at odd angles where you cannot line up the viewfinder or screen. The only shooters I might not recommend it to are the chimpers who check every shot via the screen though you can leave it folded down or to the side. It is so simple yet effective that it would be an ideal accessory for Nikon to include with their basic kit. Perfectly conceived and executed!

Good for use at low angles, at the beach for the Birds, pictures. As long as the Sun is in the right direction to it.

I got this because I always liked to do waist level shots, or ground level shots, in the past, with whatever camera I had. This has the added benefit of screen protection, as well as blocking out the LCD in places where you don't want the glow noticeable. And I put it on a Pentax K20D, which is a 2.8" screen. Fits fine, looks really good. I didn't rate it 5 stars, cuz we will see about the durability part over time.

The FLIPBAC ANGLE VIEWFINDER Is great. I no longer have to bend down for low subjects, or for shooting over the heads of people. It's on my CANON G-10. When I don't need it it's out of the way. You don't know it's there. When you need it just flip it down, or out. It's everything Adorama said it would be, at a very good price.

Along came Adorama offering Flipbac, just when I was wondering whether I would spend several hundred to get a right angle view finder for my new Canon 5D Mark II. Flipbac is a fine piece of ingenuity to get those unsual angles without the hassle of a right angle viewfinder change or going on all fours on the floor. I saved a packet and I am so glad that I went for Flipbac. I get not only the low angle shots but also the right-angled views of crowds and people without intruding. I did this in Egypt a few weeks back and the spontaneous shots I got were superb. The switch back to normal shooting is just a "flip"! Matches the color of the camera and protects the LCD viewer on the back or the camera. Great piece at a small price.

It's a mirror, not a flip out screen, so naturally the image will be inverted

I have pain in the lower back and legs which makes it difficult for me to bend over. This also makes it difficult to use the camera on a tripod, as I have to bend over to camera level to see the viewfinder. With the flipbac I can see the image from above and don't have to bend over, which makes a huge difference for me. I also like the idea of protecting the screen. My only criticism is that the screen on the left side of my camera is so close to the edge of the camera that there is no room to stick the adhesive strip. This is not a major problem, however.
