1. Solid, robust worksmanship. It cannot match the Cannon "L" type worksmanship, but I did not expect it from this relatively cheap product. I have no complaints.
2. I love the crane part of this assembly. It is build in a very intuitive way, I did not need to read instructions to adjust the position of viewfinder in relations to my camera's screen. It does not look nearly as ugly, strange and awkward as I was imagining. It has two pleasant surprises: a) it has flip release to lift the Loupe viewfinder, so it is possible to use the viewfinder to adjust the depth, then to flip the assembly up and watch the LED screen during video shooting to make sure that the red dot is there. Once you need to use the Loupe viewfinder again, just flip back down and you can use the Loupe again. b) there is hot shoe mount on top of the crane!!! So, I am able to put my LED video lighting or microphone on top of the crane!!! Very pleasant surprise.
3. Magnifying eyecup is very handy and easily adjusted.
Two thumbs up for this product!
If I had to point out any flaws, I'd list two:
1.)That eyecup is a bit uncomfortable. A soft padded one would be nicer.
2.)On my copy, the little pull-down lever that allows the cup to pop up so you can see the LCD is stiff and really doesn't work. Not a big deal, this thing's a snap to take on and off.
Pro: It doesn't require permanent adhesive attachments to your camera, which is why I bought it.
Cons: Poorly made, the quality of the plastic and rubber is terrible. The screws come undone frequently. One of the small plastic parts broke off completely -- the part that attaches the loupe to the crane that attaches to the camera.
Overall, I'm disappointed. Not worth the money. If you're going to buy something for regular use, get a higher quality product.
