Description
Zacuto Z-Bands
Elastic Security Bands for Z-Finder Pro and V2 Viewfinders
The Zacuto Z-Bands are specially designed elastic bands that add an extra layer of security to your Z-Finder Pro or Z-Finder V2. These durable rubber bands help secure your Z-Finder in place during shoots, especially during handheld or mobile filming. Designed to be used in combination with a standard Z-Finder mounting frame, Z-Bands ensure that your viewfinder remains tightly positioned against the camera’s LCD screen for optimal stability and viewing precision.
Z-Bands are an essential accessory for filmmakers who want additional confidence that their Z-Finder won’t shift or detach during high-movement shooting scenarios.
Compatible with Z-Finder Pro and Z-Finder V2
Z-Bands are purpose-built to work with:
-
Zacuto Z-Finder Pro 2.5x
-
Zacuto Z-Finder Pro 3x
-
Z-Finder V2 Models
They are not compatible with the Zacuto Z-Finder Jr., and cannot be used alone without a mounting frame. These bands work by stretching around the camera body and locking into the small ball sockets located on each corner of the Z-Finder housing.
Enhanced Mounting Security
The Z-Bands serve as an added security measure, particularly when:
-
Shooting handheld or shoulder-mounted
-
Filming in fast-paced environments
-
Working on run-and-gun productions
-
Needing an extra safeguard against accidental dislodging
They prevent the Z-Finder from shifting, especially when working without a rig or when minimal gear is used.
Note on Camera Compatibility
Due to its unique body design, the Canon 7D is not compatible with Z-Bands. The shape and curvature of the 7D’s body prevent proper tensioning and locking of the elastic bands.
Easy to Install and Remove
Installing the Z-Bands is quick and straightforward:
-
Stretch the Z-Bands around the body of your camera.
-
Align the ends of the bands with the ball sockets on the Z-Finder.
-
Press to secure in place—ensuring a firm grip across all four corners.
This added grip keeps your viewfinder reliably aligned for accurate LCD monitoring.
