I purchased this to aid with InfraRed photography as the bright sun can hinder the ability to see the rear screen for both shooting and 'chimping'. The regular view finder doesn't lend itself to the affects that can only be seen through the screen.

I wanted something to help me when shooting video outdoors with my Nikon D780. This viewfinder does the job by allowing me to focus and view the scene without distractions from glare and light. It connects easily and fits fine in my camera bag.

This is a well-designed and well-made addition for DSLRs. For aging folks with aging eyesight, it provides good compensation for "long arm sight". For astrophotographers, the hood keeps the illumination from the LCD screen from wrecking the night vision of everyone in the vicinity. It's a sturdy addition to your kit bag with the great bonus of being immediately usable on other cameras. It's excellent value for money that will provide many years of good service. One minor grumble -- the provided storage bag is too small to be a useful holder for the kit. It's a nicely made bag, though, and it'll be useful somewhere else. Highly recommended.

Love this device. I use it for live view landscape photography when it is not always possible to see the EVF. My only nit is the diopter adjustment turns on its own sometimes and I have to refocus it. Beyond that, it's fantastic.

This piece of kit has changed my life for the better - focus in landscape photography can make or break a shot. This piece of kit enables me to adjust focus manually in live view, even in the brightest sunshine. Very well made, real quality.

I thought it was one of the best purchases I have made in a long time. I really didn't think I needed a visual helper. However, this was a Godsend. Since I am a tad to the right of perfect vision I didn't realize it but the Hoodman loupe let me dial in a near perfect close up. For that I have a new desire to hit the back roads and nature for some country photos. You can't go wrong with The Hoodman it's a perfect tool for up close-up inspection of your subject, or whatever, you may be photographing. Thanks, Hoodman and Adorama. Sincerely, Chuck

I just received my kit and it seems to be of good build quality. Understand that because of it's design the focus will fall off on the edges. It's really meant to give you the greatest clarity in the center of the screen. I own a Nikon D5600. Unfortunately when I received it the base did not secure well. I contacted Hoodman and they said because of the Nikon design it needed the Mirrorless style mount. They are getting me taken care of now and I look forward to using it soon!

Works great for bright situations. A little more stable shooting with live view, than holding the camera out in space and looking at the screen. (I also have the base) Optics have a large diopter adjust range, but aren't exactly Zeiss :) the center/mid is adequate but the corners are worthless.

Amazingly well thought out product. Beautifully constructed and presented and works like a charm. I feel dumb for having waited too long to get one!

HoodLoupes are built with superior glass optics, a +/- 3 diopter adjustment and a 1/4 20 mounting solution. The base plate provides and elegant way to mount the HoodLoupe for live view and video capture DSLR functions. USA built base plates fit all DSLR camera bodies.

H30MB HoodLoupe Outdoor Loupe
Checking composition, focus and your histogram outdoors is easy with a HoodLoupe. HoodLoupe is worn around your neck. To review images, glare-free, place HoodLoupe over your LCD. HoodLoupe's +/- 3 diopter adjustment accommodates those with less than perfect vision; turn the eyepiece in or out to set your vision. Precise glass optics give you a bright, clear and non-pixelated image to view.
The new 3 lens optical module accepts multiple mounting bases. Should your LCD size change, you just need to buy the HoodLoupe base that fits your new LCD. To save space, the optical module separates from the base which will nest over the optical module and fit snuggly in its carry bag. HoodLoupe integrates with all Hoodman live view mounting plates for hands-free use. The neck lanyard provided can be upgraded to a retractable lanyard that clips to your belt.
H32B HoodLoupe Base
The H32B base mounts to HoodLoupe optical modules to give you the ability to fit up to 3.2" LCD screens. The HoodLoupe optical module is placed over the base with the latches snapped into the locking position. You can easily switch between mounting bases to accommodate the LCD screen size you will be viewing for the day. The base integrates with all Hoodman live view mounting plates.
