I found a workaround to use my Windows laptop as a live viewfinder or monitor for my smartphone camera. If you, too, like me, record videos using your phone, this trick is an absolute game-changer!
The generic, non-branded gadget slides into a hot shoe or cold shoe and uses mirrors to bounce the view to the top of the camera, rather than relying on a standard viewfinder or LCD screen.
Viewfinder may not be perfect ... At first, you use pre-printed photos to delete barriers; fixed cameras introduce you to making your own images; soon, you have your very own Polaroid camera ...
