Works but different from Hoodman

Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2023

I've been using the Hoodman Eyecup for my last six cameras. I like the larger and deeper eyecup to prevent stray light and to reduce dust around the eye-sensor on mirrorless cameras. But two times in three months the Hoodman eyecup on my Z8 has fallen off while normally using the camera. The Hoodman Eyecup for the Z8/Z9 does not snugly lock into place well enough to prevent loss.

I've just had this eyecup a few days, and it appears it will do the trick. The price is the same as the Hoodman eyecup, so this one does carry a premium price. It does lock into place better than the Hoodman eyecup. The silicon cup turns more easily, so rather than the entire assembly turning, just the silicon turns so it does not fall off. The silicon eyecup on this item is stiffer - less flexible than the Hoodman version. That may be a problem if you wear glasses since you can't press your eye closer to the EVF. So far the jury is out on whether it will work or not. It also does not fit quite as well in my camera bag because the eyecup can't be bent back to save space. The larger extension of the eyecup nicely wraps around your eye, but the opposite side extends a little too far to be comfortable and is not flexible enough to bend out of the way. The basics of the eyecup are similar to the Hoodman version. I do recommend an eyecup to users of all enthusiast and professional cameras to both reduce stray light and to prevent dust and debris from accumulating on the eye sensor.

Works to block excess light in the viewfinder

I bought this to help shade the viewfinder on my new Z8. This does the trick, and is comfortable, albeit a little stiff. Installation was simple. you could use a ball cap, I suppose, but I find that the brim gets in the way.

It doesn't fall off like similar eyepiece covers.

This is working well for me. I like that I can rotate if for either eye as I had a need to do this recently. Does the job nicely. Recommended to others.

Fits well, attaches solidly, is pretty firm without collapsing like some Nikon eyecups.

The stock rubber O-ring on my Nikon Z9 kept coming off. So much so that I started looking for a replacement EVF cover. Saw lots of reviews with this product mentioned favorably many times. It is easy to install and can be used either with the right or left eye. I am delighted as I no longer have to worry about original part being lost. It’s a big plus as well since it blocks out distracting sunlight when using the EVF.

Fits Z9 Perfectly

I have owned several of these replacement eyepieces for other Nikon cameras and this one was a quick and easy replacement for the small eye cup that is standard on the Z9. I shoot wearing glasses and this works perfectly for me.

100% improvement, nearly 100% perfect

Removed the new eye cup from the box and immediately felt and saw the improvements from the original one that I bought!!

As you can see in the image, the original one on the right, the rubber eye cup is gone because the designed made it easily came off the ring to the Z9 (In the few months I had it, the cup must have come off 20 times no matter how many times I was careful).

The new one has an added "ridge" around the plastic connector which connector that seems to hold the cup in place (will see once I start using it.

The only thing I noticed is how stiff the rubber is, but that could just be that it was outside in the cold.

Overall, looks good!
