there are a ton of legit knock offs, its probably legit. You can search ebay for them too and I know those are all legit in that price range

Link Delight is known for selling items that are the same as the big guys-minus the logo. I got an exact replica of a Canon battery grip (minus the Canon logo) for like $40 on there. When it comes to certain camera accessories, there is absolutely no reason to pay a lot of money.

However I am one who feels monitoring is important, so I bought a Z-Finder. I could do just as well without one, but that wouldn't be as much fun. Viewfinders are great for pulling focus while recording, since you can't enlarge.

this is true, i got my intravalometer from them, and its the same as the canon but a fraction of the price. i think im gonna go for this once i get the money because a VF is just something im gonna use on sunny days on the hill, not a necessity to my kit.

i read a thing a few days ago about a knockoff viewfinder. it is on ebay, search lcd viewfinder, it is made my MEIKE.
apparently, it is almost identical to the lcdvf. uses the same mounts also. 60 or less on ebay

I use it all the time, not just in the sun. good for checking exposure and zooming in to check focus.
