Product Description
The INON Pick-up Finder Unit 2 for X-2 is a compact, high-performance interchangeable finder unit designed for compatible INON X-2 underwater housings. It extends the camera viewfinder’s eye point and reduces the displayed image to 0.75× magnification, helping minimize vignetting so photographers can check the full composition more easily while wearing a dive mask.
This camera-side finder module was developed to support X-2 housing configurations with newer viewfinder shapes, including the X-2 for EOS80D VC. It can also allow the previous Pick-up Finder Unit for X-2 to be used with compatible systems when the two components are combined. The unit weighs only 34 g (1.2 oz.), adding minimal bulk to the housing. This product is listed by INON as discontinued.
