# Fliq™ - Optical Viewfinder

The Fliq Optical Viewfinder lets you frame shots by looking down at waist level — a technique used by street photographers and documentary shooters for decades. It mounts to any standard hot shoe in seconds, delivers a bright optical view with zero lag, and runs on no batteries.

Available in five focal lengths — 21, 24, 28, 35, and 40mm — each viewfinder matches the exact field of view of its corresponding lens. Less confrontational posture, more candid moments, and a lighter camera hold for longer sessions.

### Why photographers choose the Fliq Optical Viewfinder

-   **5 focal length options** — 21, 24, 28, 35, or 40mm to match your primary lens precisely.
-   **Waist-level framing** — shoot from the hip for more candid, relaxed street photography without lifting the camera to your eye.
-   **Universal hot shoe mount** — attaches to any camera with a standard hot shoe or cold shoe in seconds.
-   **Zero batteries, zero lag** — pure optical glass, always ready the moment you are.
-   **Lighter posture, longer sessions** — reduces neck and eye strain on extended day shoots.

### Common questions

-   **Which focal length should I choose?** Pick the focal length that matches your lens. A 28mm viewfinder shows you the exact field of view your 28mm lens captures.
-   **Does it work on both digital and film cameras?** Yes. The universal hot shoe mount fits any digital or film camera with a standard cold shoe or hot shoe.
-   **Is it useful for video work?** Yes. Directors and documentary shooters use waist-level viewfinders for discreet handheld framing without raising the camera to eye level.
-   **How bright is the optical view?** The optical glass provides a clear, bright view in all lighting conditions — no screen, no dimming, no power needed.
