Zacuto Fits the Canon 5D MIII and the Nikon D800
The Z-Finder Pro 2.5x for 3.2” screens is an optical viewfinder that allows DSLR cameras to have the correct form factor for video. It is universal and works with cameras that have a 3.2” screen (an alternative mounting method like our adhesive frame may be required.)
PLEASE NOTE
1. All Z-finder bodies are the same size and can fit on any of our frames. The Z-Finder Pro 2.5x for 3.2” screens comes standard with a 3.2” Z-Finder Mounting Frame for Small DSLR Bodies. Any other frames need to be purchased in addition to the Z-Finder.
2. The tapped holes on the bottom of the Gorilla Plate V2 are offset from the center of the lens for use with some of our equipment. This is only a concern if you are using the Gorilla plate with other rigs that do not have to side movement and need the matte box in line with the lens/mounting screw hole. To compensate for this issue, you can either use an adhesive mounting frame to attach the Z-finder or add a Gorilla Plate Adapter to your plate. Our Gorilla Plate Adapter centers the tripod holes on the bottom of the gorilla plate. Please note that this adapter does come with a longer 1/4 20" screw that will replace the smaller 1/4 20" screw that comes with the Gorilla Plate. You will need to take your screw out and use the longer one provided with the adapter to attach your camera to the plate.
3. In order for the Gorilla Plate and mounting frame to correctly align with the LCD the plate needs to be directly underneath your camera. This means it cannot be used in combination with L brackets like Really Right Stuff or contour plates like Arca Swiss. You can use an adhesive frame on your camera with our Z-finder and continue using your camera specific plates as usual.
In The Box / Finder Pro 2.5x for 3.2” Screens includes:

Three (3) Extender Frames
Gorilla Plate V2 and 3.2” Mounting Frame for Small DSLR Bodies

WARNING The Z-finder is a magnifier and as such will magnify the sun and could damage the LCD screen if the sun is allowed to shine directly through the Z-finder lens. This is not a defect but a physical property. Caution should be taken to avoid direct . Proper use of the included lens cap and sun mask will dramatically reduce but not eliminate risk.
