Zigview S2 Digital Angle Finder for DSLRs - Live LCD for your SLR

ShaolinTiger posted this at 2:28 pm on Monday, October 30, 2006 —

This looks like a pretty interesting gadget, for those noobs that claim they can’t live without a liveview LCD on their camera and they don’t want to buy the Evolt E-330 from Olympus.

Zigview S2

Anyway for the noobs Zigview just made it a bit easier for you digital SLR owners to frame your shots with their new and improved Zigview S2 Digital Angle Finder. Like last year’s offering, the S2 attaches to your DSLR’s viewfinder to display a live video feed on that large, 2.5-inch “high-resolution” LCD. Thing is, this screen can be detaced from the main unit allowing you to view the subject and fire the shutter from any angle up to 10-meters away (via extension cable). That screen also includes a TV-out, 9 area TTL motion sensor, and interval timer for all sorts of clandestine possibilities.

It should be available this month for £250/$466USD.

More info on the Zigview here.

Would be neat for macros indeed!

This device completely ruins the SLR experience, the whole reason I like SLR is because of the optical viewfinder.

Who wants to view their shot on some shit LCD.

Adcuz: On the whole I would agree with you, but the fact is sometimes you wish to take a picture from a low angle or an angle not possible to view with your eye and you just need to know the composition is correct. The other situation is doing product shots, it’s a lot easy to adjust the camera using a device like this when the camera is set up on a tripod rather than keep bending down to look.
