Zigview S2 Review - Samples, Conclusion and Comments
As you can see, the samples below indicate that the Zigview S2 is quite a piece of work. You can take photo’s from impossible angles, which would even be impossible with Live View. You can of course still take pictures from more traditional angles as well.

Freedom of Perspective
Some of these picutures were very easy to shoot with the detached Zigview S2. Being able to stick the camera in a location, where only the camera would fit is a very valuable asset. I could even hover the camera just above the water surface and take a picture from that viewpoint, creating a nice bokeh in the process of the water surface.
Conclusion
The Zigview S2 is a nice addition to have for any photographer. Even the ones who own a camera with Live View. Just being able to get the camera in places where you normally wouldn’t even think about putting it, is a very nice feature! The same goes for being able to see what your camera sees while being somewhere else!
If you can get past the fact that it is made of hard plastic and is somewhat wobbly while adjusting the screen (when attached). And look past the fact that the screen performance could be a little bit better. Even if it is still very usable. This is a must have if you ask me.
Positives:
- It does exactly what they say it does
- Being able to pull of impossible perspectives
- An external TFT, interval timer, motion detection and long exposure bulb in one package
Negatives:
- Materials used (hard plastics)
- Screen can be hard to see in direct sunlight
- Screen lacks in saturation
Should you get it? Well that depends, if you want to be able to put your camera in impossible locations, while still being able to see what it sees. And you want a remote shutter with a screen, motion detection, interval timer and long exposure bulb options. Then go right ahead and get it. It really expands your horizons in photography!
If you are perfectly happy with Live View or even lack of Live View then this is not for you...
