Hoodman HEYENZ HoodEYE Camera Eyecup Eye Cup Viewfinder Eye Piece for Nikon Z6 Z7

As always, Hoodman comes thru again. Excellent fit and function.

Works with Z6iii perfectly. I wear glasses and this was the first accessory I bought for the Z6iii. Just make sure you pull up when taking off and no breakage will occur.

I bought this for my Nikon Z7. The original eyecup partially blocked the sensor which allowed automatic switching screen and viewfinder. This new one resolves that problem. Plus this eyecup is easier to use when wearing my glasses. It's an overall win for me. I think I will buying more to fit on my other cameras.

Used as replacement for stock eye cup on z7II. It fit perfectly and I've had no issues (so far) with the auto-toggle between viewfinder and LCD failing.Prior to using this item, the camera would get stuck in viewfinder mode and would not switch to the LCD. I removed and cleaned the original eye cup, viewfinder and viewfinder sensor a number of times, but the auto-toggle would quickly get stuck in viewfinder mode or fail to switch immediately after cleaning. In some cases the toggle would work fine with the eye cup removed but would fail again as soon as the original eye cup was reattached. (The viewfinder auto-toggle can fail if the slightest bit of dirt or lint gets into the sensor area above the viewfinder.)So far, I've had not seen any toggling problems with the new eye cup in place. The new eye cup has more open area around the viewfinder sensor which may be helping with the toggle issue.

If used with the Z50 (don’t know about with other cameras) the bottom of the eyepiece blocks the auto sensor controlling the image switching between eyepiece and monitor. I had to cut part of the lower edge away to expose the sensor. Works fine now.

Hoodman makes very good products, I have used there eyecups on all my cameras and find them very efficient at blocking the bright glaring sunlight from interfering with my field of vision.

Tja, eigentlich bin ich zufrieden aber leider behindert das Teil den Zugang zum Blitzschuh der Kamera. Wenn ich da ran will muss ich das Teil ständig entfernen. Ich bezweifle, dass das ständige An und Ab gut ist.

I have tried a lot of eye pieces but after trying this one, i understand why it is so outstanding. It works with or without glasses. It survives the misstreat in the camera bag.You don't need to try something else to fail first. This is the only eyepiece you need.Is it perfect for everyone? No, there are difference sizes of people and also expectations but i believe this is the best compromise you will find and with a US-quality which is different compared to Chinese standards.

It came apart within 5 weeks. less than a week after the return window closed. I suppose I could glue it back together. But I shouldn't need to do that.

Also, wider erwarten lässt sich der Blitz montieren ohne dass man die Augenmuschel demontieren muss. Das hat mich nämlich auch ein wenig von einem Kauf abgehalten. Ich benutze eine Nikon Z6.Ich kann sagen das ich alle auf dem Markt erhältlichen Eyecups ausprobiert habe. Nichts kommt der Hoodman auch nur im entferntesten nahe. Entweder gehen die Teile verloren oder der Blitz geht nicht direkt drauf.Die Hoodman geht schön satt drauf und sitzt fest. Bisher habe ich sie nicht verloren. Sie sitzt genauso fest wie die Originale. Ob Querformat oder Hochformat, die Hoodman steht ihr Auge, sozusagen.Und angenehm am Auge ist die Hoodman auch noch. Besser als alles bisher auf den Markt geworfenes. Da kommt Freude auf das man sein Geld auch mal sinnvoll investieren kann. Was doch noch verbesserungswürdig wäre, sie könnte am Rand noch etwas weicher sein. Und Nikon sollte sich da mal etwas abschauen. Vielleicht kommt da mal was als separates Zubehör?

PHOTOS:The photos i included are to demonstrate the little plastic hump that has people complaining or nervous to buy this product but it's a non-issue. Would have been better if they didn't make that plastic hump so large though.You can try to sand it down. I saw someone on youtube do that. But i tested it, it's not an issue so no need to sand it down._____________________________________Instead of reading my long review, the answer to your question is YES this works for the Nikon Z6iiAnd NO this product will not block you from installing and removing your hot shoe mount accessories like a speed light or studio strobe triggers. Only thing i tested that it blocks is the Nikon hot shoe cover (just don't use the hot shoe cover ever and you'll be fine)So if you have a Nikon Z 6 or Z 7, yes you should buy this if you want a better eye piece than the original Nikon eye piece._____________________________________PROS:- It works... but i haven't tested it outdoors in sunlight yet.- It should work for the Z6, Z6ii, Z7, Z7ii which makes it a good investment.AND it seems like Nikon may keep releasing new versions of this camera. So there may end up being a Z6iii and Z7iii that may end up being the same dimensions. If so, you may be able to keep reusing the eye piece for those also if you upgrade. Making this product a really good investment.- I do wear glasses and it works fine with my glasses. Without glasses it'll work even better because you can push your eye even deeper into the eye piece to block even more light.- It DOES NOT block me from installing / removing my speed light or studio strobe triggers (which is the main problem people are worried about).I tested this with a Nikon SB-700 speed light and a Flashpoint R2 Pro trigger. Those accessories glide right over the eye cup plastic "hump" and there is NO issue.- This eye piece looks less large, ridiculous & silly than the "tear drop" hoodman eye piece i was using on my Nikon D750- I read reviews saying the rubber was a hard piece of rubber but it's not hard, it's a very soft rubber and it's flexible.- Locks in place very snuggly. Just like my last Hoodman eye piece, i don't fear this falling off and losing it.- It doesn't block my vision (even with glasses on) from seeing the view finder screen.But i do feel like i need to push my face into the eye piece a little bit to see the edges of the view finder screen. Not a big deal. Even with the original nikon eye piece (with glasses on) it was a similar experience._____________________________________CONS:- This eye piece DOES BLOCK one accessory. It blocks the Nikon hot shoe plastic cover that protects the hot shoe. Not an issue for me, i usually never have my hot shoe cover installed.Hoodman should have designed this better so there isn't that little "plastic hump". I saw a youtube video where someone sanded down the plastic.- I think the hoodman "eye drop" shape eye cups might do a better job of blocking out light due to the longer piece of rubber that sticks out. It's also more customizable since you can spin it to block light in different directions.- This new hoodman eyecup piece doesn't spin, there's not enough rubber to block light. So you have to squeeze your face into it to get better rubber coverage to block light. With my glasses on i can see some light from my bedroom lamp peeking in on one side of my vision. So you have to push your face into this eye piece to try to more light.What i do is just move my face around so i can get a better view of the edges of the view finder screen._____________________________________CONCLUSION:This is 100% better than the original Nikon Z eye piece.I 100% recommend this hoodman eye piece for the Nikon Z cameras. I haven't tested the product outdoors on a sunny day yet but i think it will do a decent job.I do like this smaller hoodman eye piece on the Nikon Z 6ii camera body vs a large tear drop eye piece so i hope it works well in sunlight.However, if hoodman makes the classic "tear drop" shape eye piece for the Nikon Z cameras i might consider buying that because I think it might block a tiny bit light than this eye piece or just make it easier, when wearing glasses.Hoodman doesn't make the tear drop shape for the Nikon Z cameras (no idea why) so if you own the Nikon Z and you want a new eye piece, this is your only option. So just buy it.Unless...you want to buy a Non-Hoodman eye piece. I saw a few other companies offering a tear drop shape eye piece for the Nikon Z camera bodies but they look lower quality, some block the sensor or have a square shape eye piece that blocks your vision, so i bought this hoodman eye piece instead.And so far i am very satisfied with my purchase.
