UNDERWATER VIEWFINDERS & MAGNIFIERS

Underwater Camera Viewfinders for DSLR, Mirrorless & Compact Systems

A viewfinder might seem like a small detail, but underwater, it can make a huge difference. When shooting in bright sunlight, murky water, or challenging angles, a high-quality viewfinder allows you to compose your shots more accurately and comfortably. At Fotografit, we offer a carefully curated selection of underwater viewfinders from the greatest brands including Nauticam, Ikelite, AOI and Inon—built to help underwater photographers frame images more comfortably.

Whether you're working with a DSLR, mirrorless, or compact camera, a dedicated viewfinder helps you clearly see what your camera sees—especially when your housing’s LCD screen is hard to read. Options include angled viewfinders (often 45°) that are perfect for low-angle shooting or macro work, as well as straight viewfinders for fast-paced or eye-level compositions. Many models also offer magnification for critical focus, and are available with different optical ratios such as 1:1 or 0.8:1, depending on your preference.

Our collection of viewfinders are created specifically for underwater use—featuring bright optics, durable construction, and ergonomic fit with a wide range of housings. We offer viewfinders compatible with popular camera systems from Olympus, Sony, Canon, Nikon, and more. Accessories like adapters, housings, and viewfinder collars are also available to complete your setup.

Underwater Viewfinders Popular Choices:

• Nauticam Full Frame Angle Viewfinder 32° / 1:1 – Bright, high-magnification optical viewfinder for full-frame DSLR and mirrorless housings.
• AOI UMG-05 LCD 90° Viewer – Lightweight 90° viewer for Olympus compact housings; affordable and easy to use.
• Inon 45° Viewfinder Unit II – Angled viewfinder for Inon and Hugyfot housings; ideal for creative angles and macro photography.
• Ikelite 45° Magnified Viewfinder Type 4 – Ergonomic and optically sharp viewfinder for DSLR and mirrorless Ikelite housings.

Choosing the right underwater viewfinder comes down to your personal shooting style. Angled viewfinders (usually 45°) are great for macro and low-angle shots, giving you a more natural head position during long dives. Straight viewfinders work better when you need to frame quickly or track fast-moving subjects. Magnification plays a role too—1:1 gives you a true-to-size view for precise focus, while 0.8:1 offers a wider field of view to stay aware of your surroundings. Knowing these differences makes it easier to pick a viewfinder that boosts both your comfort and control underwater.
