The C300/500 Z-Finder is a specialized optical viewfinder that attaches to the LCD screen of your Canon C300 or C500 cinema camera. With a 1.8x magnification and a diopter wheel for precision focus, this Z-Finder eliminates extraneous light and provides initial stability when pressed against the large eyecup. Included are 4 interchangeable anti-fog glass diopters (0, +1, +2, and +3) for customizable vision, and a red adjust wheel allows for further clarity adjustments. Additional -1 and +4 diopters can be purchased separately. The Z-Finder also features an aluminum sun mask to shield your screen from sunlight.
The C300/C500 Z-Finder utilizes a foam padded sleeve that easily slides over the LCD screen of the C300, C300 Mark II, or C500. With a secure bar clamp and a monitor lock clip, the Z-Finder ensures that the LCD screen stays in place even when pressed against your eye. For those who prefer a detachable Canon LCD screen, our C300/C500 Z-Finder with Mounting Kit is perfect for better placement and rig customization.
The Mounting Kit for the C300/C500 Z-Finder allows you to position the LCD screen forward and off the the side in a position to better enable shoulder mounted shooting. The Mounting Kit attaches to a Z-Rail mount and will allow forward/backward, side to side, and tilt adjustment of the Z-Finder. This mounting kit works with the C300/C500 Helmet and handle as a unified system. The C300/C500 Helmet Kit is required to use this kit. For the C300 Mark II, the C300 Mark II is required.
When moving the LCD this far forward, you may need to get the Canon Extension cable- sold by Canon.
