Fits FS5 II perfectly. Easy to use. Bulky, but for me it's OK. Buy SmallRig Camcorder LCD Screen Mounting Clamp Adapter for Sony PXW-FS5 and you will be happy!

This viewfinder is an absolute MUST for use with any shoulder rig on the Sony FS5. It is virtually impossible to maintain image control without some sort of true viewfinder. This is not as high resolution as the other Zacuto options, but sure does the job!

Must Have for Shoulder Mount Rig

Discover the precision and clarity of the Zacuto FS5 Z-Finder, a high-quality viewfinder meticulously crafted to complement the Sony FS5 camera's monitor. The FS5 Z-Finder enhances your filming experience by providing a magnified view of the LCD screen, enlarging it by 2x for critical focus adjustments. Its robust construction and innovative design ensure durability and versatility for filmmakers.
The FS5 Z-Finder features a flip-up frame that seamlessly slides onto the FS5 LCD, allowing for swift attachment and detachment, perfect for on-the-go shooting. The intuitive red lever at the base of the frame enables you to effortlessly flip the Z-Finder up, facilitating quick reviews by others without the need to remove the viewfinder or make cumbersome adjustments.
Crafted with a large, comfortable eyecup, the FS5 Z-Finder offers an additional point of stability, enabling you to shoot with greater confidence. It effectively shields out unwanted light, ensuring a clear and uninterrupted view of your subject. The viewfinder comes equipped with a 40mm diameter Zacuto optical lens, renowned for its high-quality performance and anti-fog coated protective covers to maintain visibility in challenging conditions.
The diopter adjustment feature of the FS5 Z-Finder is particularly noteworthy, allowing for fine-tuning to match your eyesight. For those requiring additional focus points, the package includes Z-Finder Extender Frames. These stackable frames extend the Z-Finder glass away from the LCD screen, catering to farsighted users. For even more customization, interchangeable anti-fog glass diopters are available in -1, +1, +2, +3, and +4 strengths to correct the focus to your vision with impeccable clarity.
An integrated aluminum sun mask shields your LCD screen from direct sunlight, preventing damage while not in use. The FS5 Z-Finder also comes with a dedicated FS5 Mounting Bracket, which ensures a secure fit for shoulder-mounted shooting. This bracket can attach to the Sony adapter or any 15mm rod system, offering flexibility in your setup.
For those seeking a broader range of adjustment, the FS5 Z-Finder is compatible with the FS5 Top Plate and the Axis Mini for FS5, which can be found alongside the Z-Finder for a comprehensive shooting solution.
Please note, the FS5 Z-Finder is a magnifier and can intensify sunlight, potentially harming the LCD screen if exposed directly. It is essential to use the included lens cap to prevent light from entering the Z-Finder when not in use. This viewfinder is exclusively designed for the Sony FS5 camera, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal functionality.
Zacuto takes pride in manufacturing its products in the USA, offering a lifetime warranty on non-electronic items. Elevate your videography with the compact, durable, and innovative Zacuto FS5 Z-Finder, the essential tool for achieving professional-grade image control and balance with your Sony FS5 camera.
