do you have to glue the metal plate onto the lcd screen for the viewfinder to attach magnifically? is there another way at wont make me do this?

No other way that I'm aware of. The rectangular metal plates have a peel-off material on it, though I found it hard to peel off the paper material without ruining the sticky stuff. The other issue with this set-up is that residual glue tend to be a magnet for hair and fur....

I know no other way, is designed well, and honestly never use it, not convinced me this device and decided to sell it, I recommend buying one more professional

The back of the metal plate has adhesive on it. Just peal and stick. It seems to come off pretty clean. I replaced onto another camera with no problems. DO NOT SCRAPE ANY RESIDUE OFF. If there is a little residue, put a little WD40 on a paper towel and gently wipe it off. Good luck.

Right, it has little 3M-like strips to stick it to the screen. That's the only way I know of. In my case (Canon 6D) it falls mostly around the LCD and not on it.

Hi Adam ,This gizmo is attach via a metal frame that you have to glue to the screen of your camera. What I did I bought a glass screen protector and I glue the frame on the screen protector.

I had to modify it to hold my Viewsonic projector. It just comes with one screw to go into the projector so I bought a mounting plate. Unfortunately the screw in the projector stand is metric so I also had to buy a new longer screw to work with the mounting plate. It wasn't too difficult but I couldn't use it out of the box.

i don't have the 3N, however a LCD viewfinder using a glued on magnetic frame will suit many different cameras.this one uses a tripod screw for attachment but you can find those who uses double sided adhesive.

Yes, and if you are going to use this camera properly you need to take shots with the view finder and not the LCD. It is an amazing camera. I matched it up with another camera that was 4 times the cost and this camera beat it hands down. Great camera. Best purchase I have made in years.

Hi, thanks for your reply. How did you make the L pieces stick to the LCD? With the velcro or with some kind of adhesives?

It will only fit a non- mobile LCD of the approximate dimensions. It works as advertised. However you will still be guessing at what you are imaging outdoors in delight because you need a real viewfinder for that basic task.

Buy the whole lcd display assembly, because the glass lens (the part in question) is glued to the LCD. And removing it leaves residue and would be harx to glue a new ond on. Trust me. Once you get in there you will wish you had bought the full assembly LCD.

I think you are correct. The plate that mounts to the camera has the magnetic slot on it to attach the view finder. So with the grip it wouldn't fit. Also the clarity on this finder wasn't the best. It works and was well built. Just not as clear as I would have liked. Hope this helped.

It snaps on! It's pretty tight. The actual plate that goes on the camera is very thick and has these little ledges on the side that make the viewfinder snap on (NOT through magnets, like the ZEIKOS, which I have also) and stay on.

Yes, it comes with a magnetic rectangular frame that permanently sticks around the camera LCD screen, this magnetic frame holds the VIEWFINDER extender on place.

Simple answer? No. Long answer: the camera mounts on top of the grip, that is, the grip is attached to the bottom of the camera. There is no obstruction to the viewfinder, which is located on the top of the camera. I never use my LCD to frame a shot, so I can tell you from personal experience, I've never had the grip obstruct my ability to use the viewfinder in composing a photo.

The Adhesive frame which the viewfinder sits on has a tab on one of the corners I see how it may affect the LCD to sit flush back in its original position.

it works fine as long as your eyes can see it. if it's an environment even af fails to lock on, you are probably better off with liveview + magnification

Not very sure regarding the question. But for me no problem. I just screw the tripod mount under the viewfinder screw and no problem. Make sure to tighten enough or else it would defeat the purpose of tripod.

Not unless you glue it. It's too thick for that, and besides, if you want to magnify the screen, you have to have a space of several inches.

In my review I listed how to build one. Took 45 min bending metal and 3 hours to wait for epoxy to cure. http://www.amazon.com/2-8x-3-0-Viewfinder-Magnifier-Extender/dp/B009X6H8ZW/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&qid=1426875160&sr=8-17&keywords=2.8+x+3+viewfinder#customerReviews
