After so many years with the same housing and a viewfinder attached to it I have purchased a new Isotta housing for my loved D500 and a Inon 45º viewfinder.

The thing is that I never have mount or demount any viewfinder at all, I'm a little embarrassed to admit it, lol.

Anyone could provide some info about changing the viewfinder, some youtube link maybe? The instructions are not very detailed in this regard.

 

Also, I would like to ask if those who use viewfinders disassemble them before travelling? Or keep them in place?

 

Thank you very much.

Hi canislupus

I use a Subal 45-degree viewfinder on a Subal housing with a D500.

On that system there is a threaded ring which screws on to the viewfinder when it’s pushed into the housing. A pair of o-rings on the part of the viewfinder that pushes through the housing provides the water seal. It’s very simple but effective.

I do remove the viewfinder for traveling as it’s otherwise an awkward shape in my Pelican case. It’s a 2-3 minute job to install or remove it using a very simple tool. Once you’ve done it once or twice, I’m sure you’ll be comfortable with the process.
