Don’t know the definition of ripoff? Try this!
$200 is pretty cheep for a director’s viewfinder and a great deal for a first time owner, but this isn’t even worth it. Basically this viewfinder works in a very different way than a professional one in which the FOV is represented by a rectangle moving forward and backwards rather than narrowing itself. This is not something even a first-time director should resort to as it will not work in the way that they should learn about. I give this a one star across the board for misleading advertisement, price for payoff, efficiency and overall satisfaction. They call it a viewfinder, I call it a paperweight.

Looking for the perfect view? It's here!
With using your cinematography camera to get the best angles and shots wastes battery power. That is a thing of the past with this viewfinder! To be humbly honest this is awesome and very useful versus using your fingers in the shape of Ls. (Haha) Also for finding the best range that you need BEFORE shooting. A definite worthwhile investment!

Un producto decepcionante
Estaba bajo la impresión de que este producto sería una herramienta para el trabajo profesional en la producción audiovisual. Pero resulta ser poco más que un juguete para niños. No es cierto que tenga un zoom x11. La imagen simplemente se hace más pequeña y distante sin ninguna amplificación hasta que lo que se ve se hace completamente lejano y diminuto. Completamente inservible para las situaciones en el set. Me siento engañado y decepcionado con el producto. No recomiendo su compra.

Super Nice and EXTREMELY Useful!
If you use a professional cinema rig and camera, it is necessary to own one of these to compose the shots and getting new shot ideas without moving the giant rig around. This piece of equipment can wear around your neck like a necklace and is pretty light. Though it came with no instructions, it is very easy to figure out and understand if you know focal length and composition. I'd highly recommend it!

Terrible purchase - unclear image all around cheap product
Unfortunately, this item has terrible image quality. It is blurry and not worth the high price in any way.
