SmallRig 6127 28mm Waist-Level External Optical Viewfinder
The SmallRig 6127 28mm Waist-Level External Optical Viewfinder is an external optical viewfinder that mounts on the hot shoe. You look into it from above, with the camera held at waist level. This works discreetly for street and documentary photography.
The viewfinder shows a 28mm field of view on full frame, with built-in frame lines for 35mm and 50mm. The optical design has four elements, a Fresnel lens and a multi-layer AR coating. The protective cover and the lens hood form a single part that opens in one movement.
The housing is made of aluminium with a PU leather finish, and the viewfinder weighs 62 grams. A spring-loaded foot sits securely in a standard hot shoe. SmallRig lists cameras from Fujifilm, Leica, Nikon, Canon, Sony and Ricoh, among others.
Good to know: within 2 metres, the image comes out slightly lower than what you see in the viewfinder. Keep the camera level, because at 28mm even a small tilt is more noticeable.
