Zig-view (1 Viewer)

I have the basic model and use it from time to time. It's handy for low or high level shots, though I do prefer to put my eye to the view finder if I can. The screen is a good quality and works very well for composing shots, though I would not want to try to manual focus on it.
 
I also have the basic model and it is good for composing low-level shots of static subjects, or pre-positioning on a perch, but I have found it too slow for moving subjects, even slow swimming ducks.

As Peter said, I wouldn't try to manual focus with it - there is nowhere near enough resolution.

I ended up buying Canon's right-angle viewfinder which is excellent, but I still use the zig-view as my wife gets first dibs on the Canon viewfinder ;)
