Damn. I bought me an angle finder for the 50D but it will not fit my 7D 
Does anyone know if you get just the mounts for the thing? Checked ebay but no luck!

If you bought it brand new, there's another mount that will fit the 7D. It's in the pocket on the inside of the case for the anglefinder (I'm assuming you have the Canon version; if not, then all bets are off). ...Leo

I guess the angle finder would work better if the camera were on the ground and pointed up so that the rear of the camera is completely hidden... -- Ken

Yes, that's the situation I was referring to although the camera doesn't necessarily have to be on the ground. It just needs to be lower than you feel comfortable putting yourself at. ...Leo

You still have to get your eye up against the angle finder so you end up on your hands and knees in the mud instead of on your stomach in the mud. With the LCD you can just squat down a few feet back and see just fine. -- Ken

A Hoodman loupe solves that problem plus it magnifies the LCD... For me it beats the anglefinder that's why I sold mine.
