Photography with a display mirror on the micro- or macroscope. A highly practical accessory for cameras without a moveable display

Once you have gotten used to working with a rotatable display on a camera, it is difficult to do without the convenience! Since unfortunately many cameras are not equipped with this useful additional feature as standard, we set out in search of alternatives. And lo and behold, display mirrors can be retrofitted at a reasonable price to almost every camera! The only prerequisite is a camera stand socket.

This simple little mirror significantly improves digital cameras with “Live View” function that do not have a moveable display. It makes photography easier both when working on the microscope and with macro lenses out in the field. When hunting for insects, the mirror makes it possible to select the optimum perspective while maintaining a comfortable body position. No additional external control monitor is therefore needed for ergonomic work on the microscope. 

The mirror is fastened to the camera body with the camera stand socket screw. This simple assembly enables the mirror to be positioned to the right height. It is aligned on both sides by means of the track on the rear of the mirror.

A simple hinge joint makes it possible to adjust the mirror to the optimum setting in accordance with the desired angle.

Conclusion: A must-have for anyone whose camera is not equipped with a moveable display. The attractive price of around € 18.00 makes the mirror affordable for every budget.
