Comments about Flipbac Flipbac Angle Viewfinder for 3" LCD Screens - Black:
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.

Comments about Flipbac Flipbac Angle Viewfinder for 3" LCD Screens - Black:
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.

Comments about Flipbac Flipbac Angle Viewfinder for 3" LCD Screens - Black:
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.

Comments about Flipbac Flipbac Angle Viewfinder for 3" LCD Screens - Black:
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.

Comments about Flipbac Flipbac Angle Viewfinder for 3" LCD Screens - Black:
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.

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.

Comments about Flipbac Flipbac Angle Viewfinder for 3" LCD Screens - Black:
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.

Comments about Flipbac Flipbac Angle Viewfinder for 3" LCD Screens - Black:
It's a mirror, not a flip out screen, so naturally the image will be inverted

Comments about Flipbac Flipbac Angle Viewfinder for 3" LCD Screens - Black:
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.

Comments about Flipbac Flipbac Angle Viewfinder for 3" LCD Screens - Black:
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.
