Description
Zacuto Z-Finder Mounting Frame Thumbscrew
The Zacuto Z-Finder Mounting Frame Thumbscrew is a small but critical component within the Zacuto Z-Finder system. Its primary purpose is to securely attach the Z-Finder Mounting Frame to a camera’s baseplate, such as a Zacuto DSLR Gorilla Plate or DSLR Baseplate. This precise connection ensures that the Z-Finder (the optical viewfinder) can be properly aligned with the camera’s LCD screen and quickly snapped on or off as needed.
It’s commonly sold as a single replacement part, as these small screws can occasionally be misplaced or worn, but they are also included when you purchase a Z-Finder mounting frame or a complete Z-Finder kit.
The Z-Finder Mounting Frame Thumbscrew is typically a knurled thumbscrew with a 10-32 thread. It often features a slotted head for optional tightening with a flathead screwdriver, though its knurled design allows for tool-free hand tightening. Zacuto often manufactures these in their signature red anodized aluminum, signifying durability and high-quality construction.
When used, two such thumbscrews are inserted through the Z-Finder Mounting Frame and tightened into corresponding threaded holes on the camera’s baseplate. This connection holds the frame firmly in place against the camera’s LCD screen, providing the stable platform onto which the Z-Finder itself can then snap on and off without further adjustment.
