My aging eyes struggle in bright sunlight to check focus on the LCD. Anyone using a Hoodman Loupe or other loupe to check focus. Thanks!

Yes, when working with my Nikon1 J5 in the bright sunlight. Works very well.

Me too on a D7200 - especially useful in bright sunlight.

I also use the Hoodman when shooting video on my Canon. I have a bracket that locks into the flash socket so I don't have to waste a hand to hold it.

I know what you mean. I struggle with the same problem. And I do also own a Hoodman but I cannot see how I can adapt it to my Nikon D850. This is because I most often use the LCD in its flipped out position ........ away from the camera body.

For video I like to hold the dslr/lens below my head, so I am looking downward. I always wear a wide-brimmed straw hat when shooting, and this greatly diminishes glare from the sky. Currently, for magnification I have been using higher magnification reading glasses. I would be open to other ways but I have not discovered/visualized it yet. None of those brackets will work with that LCD flipped outward, away from the camera body.

Cheers

Owned a Hoodman since 2009-2010 and wouldn't shoot without one.
