Designed for professional videographers and photographers seeking flawless focus and durability, it offers quick-release mounting and extender frames for farsighted users, making it an essential upgrade for critical live view shooting. ## Description The Z-Finder Pro 2.5x is another one of Zacuto's Optical Viewfinders that allows DSLR cameras to have the correct form factor for video. It offers 2.5x focusable magnification (a 3x magnification is available), a 40mm diameter Zacuto optical designed Anti-Fog lens, an eyecup preventing extraneous light leakage, a diopter and a field of view perfectly matched to 3" LCD screens. The diopter allows you to dial in the focus to match your eye perfectly. If you need extra focal point you can use the Z-Finder Extender Frames. The Z-Finder Pro 2.5x has a diopter range of -4.75 and up (unlimited with extender frames). These are semi-permanently stackable frames that attach to the skirt of the Z-Finder Pro and extends the Z-Finder glass further way from the LCD screen for people who are farsighted. The Z-Finder Pro uses the Gorilla Baseplate and Z-Finder mounting frame to mount to the camera. The Gorilla Baseplate attaches to the bottom of your camera using a 1/4 20" screw and the Z-Finder mounting frame attaches to the Gorilla Baseplate using thumb screws. The rubber back mounting frame does not attach to your LCD; it is held in place against your LCD with pressure. This method allows you to quickly remove the Z-Finder Pro by snapping it off the frame. If you want to remove the entire mounting frame from your camera, you can do so by loosening the thumb screws and pulling up on the metal mounting frame to release it. With the Z-Finder Pro, you are also a step closer to using one of the Gorilla Support Rigs, as they use the same baseplate as the base. Review: Solid performer - Received this professional tool as expected. The platform is made out of a solid block of aluminum, machined to precise dimensions. It mounts directly to the camera using the tripod mounting hole and it has adjustments to position the eyepiece holder at exactly the correct spot to fully cover the display screen on my Canon 7D. While the shroud for the actual eyepiece is made of some sort of plastic, it is a very dense plastic and does not have any give to it. It includes a machined aluminum knurled large wheel that is used to focus the eye lens for any needed diopter correction. There are also extra spacers that could be used if the initial correction is not suficient. I am using this tool with two lenses, my Canon 100mm to 400mm zoom and a Celestron 8" telescope with a reducer (1000mm at f6.3). Both of these have their own tripod mount so I do not need to use the tripod mount provided as part of the aluminum platform. Being able to focus in live view with a 2.5x magnification plus the zoom capability of the camera's display, I am able to get tack sharp shots of birds and other critters under most conditions (even bright sun-light!). This little device makes it work for me and my less than perfect eyesight. I haven't shot any video using this tool yet - but I can see where it would almost become a necessity! Certainly a hefty priced item, but well worth the price , both in terms of the quality of the manufacture of the product, and in terms of the functionality/ease of use. It fulfills and exceeds my expectations! Review: Overpriced magnifying glass - It does work, but keep in mind that when you look at your 'in focus' shot you will also see the pixels on your DSLR's screen. Not pretty but it does help you achieve a pretty sharp focus. My biggest complaint is the way it attaches to the camera. You have to use a heavy mounting plate that is brittle and will eventually wear out near the mounting screw. Who wants to add weight and bulk to your camera? is this really the best they can do for a mounting system? Second complaint.. I have to use the additional spacers and they won't pop off to detach like the Z-finder does. When I pull on them the entire mounting plate bends and feels like it's going to break. I end up leaving them on the mounting bracket at all times because of this. Third complaint: It's way too over priced. Even half the price would be pushing it. It's really just a fancy magnifying glass, but it does look kind of cool and it really will improve your focusing issues with DSLRs. ## Features - The Z-Finder Pro 2.5x includes - 3 Extender Frames. Lens Cap & Protective Boot. - Gorilla Plate with DSLR Short Body Frame (Canon 5D/7D type cameras). - 2.5x lens with an anti-fog coating protective cover. - Extra anti-fog coating protective cover.

The foam on the base plate attached to the LCD screen is poorly glued and misaligned. Zacuto claimed that the place is secured on the Canon 5D II, and this is not true. The red screws just barely touche the base plate. The connection of the eye piece to the plate is so badly designed that you will break the plate easily everything time you try to remove the eye piece. If you want to try this product, buy it from a decent seller with no hassle return policy such as Adorama because you will return it as I did. --- ## 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.tw/products/1034023-z-finder-pro-2-5x-optical-viewfinder](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/1034023-z-finder-pro-2-5x-optical-viewfinder) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-07-29*
