Does this come with the viewfinder, or just a hole for a view finder to be put in? My current knocker is held on by the viewfinder.

It comes with the viewfinder and is held on by two additional screws (1 above and 1 below the viewfinder).

Yes, it comes with a viewfinder, quite a nice one, actually. The whole set up was good value, for the money.

It comes with the viewfinder. One caution. The screws that come with it are too long for most doors so you will have to get your own screws or cut down the ones that come with it.

It does come with the viewfinder, but screws at top and bottom of knocker hold it in place. I guess it may be possible for the viewfinder(if tightened enough)to hold it in place.

You need to remove the top part of the case to see through the view finder. Still attached but just unsnap.

In one way it is preferable to use the one that comes with the product because it actually serves as an anchor for the knocker against the door - in fact I did not drill holes for the screws. I used the viewer to hold the knocker in place. On the other hand I did not find that the viewer that comes with the knocker to be very effective in identifying someone one the other side. If you have better viewer and as long as it threads through the hole provided and is the right length I don't see why it wouldn't work.

In addition to what Kman said, you can attach the quick release plate .. horizontally? So that the long end is in the same direction as the long end of your camera--perpendicular to the lens, then put the bubble level toward you, where you would put the viewfinder, and you can still see it when you put the camera on. Whether or not the camera is perfectly centered really doesn't matter, but it's pretty easy to do with just your fingers on either side to gague width. Design is still great, IMO.

the battery door detaches and there is a slot on the grip to put it so you don't loose it. the slot is on the section that gets inserted into the camera.in the picture here it is the right where the slot is on the vertical part.

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.

Hi Denise, I bought this a couple of months ago and really like it. But to answer your question, the round knob on top unscrews and you screw your camara to it.

It does have the viewfinder, however, it works the same way as the large touchscreen viewer (menu options, etc) appear on the viewfinder screen. There's a button to push to switch between the screen and viewfinder.

I always leave it hooked to the body.... so it is almost like built in type, except being manual. However, I'd rather have the viewfinder .... the lack of it is terrible :(

yes! Just to the left side of the view finder tucked in a very small groove! Works great!

There is a button with lightning sign and word "Open" below it. You can find that on the ledt side of the viewfinder.

It does fit, but does not give access to the focus dial for the viewfinder.

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 should look at the bottom of your camera, if there is a small hole yes, if its a 2 inch square lock or Oregon scientific mount no. Its a great pod I've had mine and been using it regularly for about a year works like new after some pretty severe beatings including submerging it a bunch of times. Still can't beat the price.

It costs the same as the kit with the viewfinder, so I'm going to assume it includes it and just return it if it doesn't. :\

It comes with a "super sticker" of a frame that sticks to the edges of the view finder. It sticks very well and wont come off unless you try to take it off. Its a magnet and thats how the view finder 'pops' on.
