I purchased the Canon Angle Finder not for a Canon EOS but for a Nikon D90. It works like it was made for it -- easy on, easy off, 360 rotation, view magnification -- all great.
Being able to set up and look down would relieve my back problem and allow for low angle shots. I pushed them back into place with my finger which improved the fit but any adjustment and the adapter loosened up again.
All of my other canon product boxes say "made in Japan". The optics seem ok.
Others have reported this same problem. Note, the box that contained this product is labeled made in china.
As a wildlife photographer with a stiff back and neck I was looking for an alternative to my skimmer ground pod and whimberly gibled head for low angle shots with my canon 1d mk III /500mm f4 set up. When I first put the angle finder on the mk III it fit ok however the second time it was very loose and i found it difficult to use and lost many good shots of a group of shore birds until i took it off and discovered that the springs were very loose.
I would recommend this for a static set up but not for any dynamic subject.
Between that smallviewfinder and the poor ergonomics of keeping my faceagainst the back of a tripod mounted camera, I was gettingworn out trying to capture anything from a sunset to amacro subject. And,I like that I can flip a lever and get a magnified viewto help in manual focusing.For me, it was well worth the money. I bought mine for use on a rebel XT. this little beauty solved all that.
This item is great for macro photography and for use to help focus on a telescope. Makes for a more comfortable view.
This is a must have item for any one taking low pictures. Also is great for keeping your face away from the view screen
