Camera Models
While the Flipbac is shown below on a Nikon D300, it will fit on hundreds of cameras. However, the Flipbac is not designed to work with LCDs with swivel or flip-up screens.

Flipbac is perfect for digital cameras with a 3-inch LCD display with live view. For the best fit, your camera's LCD screen should be about 67mm x 52mm ( 2 5/8 "x 2 1/16"). Most digital cameras have either a 2.5 inch or 3 inch LCD. First compare the measurements below to the camera's LCD screen size.

We are producing a 2.5 inch model. If you would like us to notify you when it is available please email notifyme@flipbac.com .
