Glueing 6x6 3x loupe to lcd hood, will it hold? (5D)

[kesj]

Hi all,

Have been reading numerous posts and saw different solutions on diy viewfinder magnifiers. However, can't seem to find the answer to my question.

I am waiting for my Calumet 6x6 3x loupe with diopter. I saw people who where thinking to glue a similar loupe to an lcd shade/hood such as the one in this picture:

Now I am just wondering:

- Is this hood strong enough to keep the 6x6 loupe in its place? Or does it need some extra support in the bottom?
- Won't the loupe break loose from the hood because of the laws of gravity? Or do I need to use a certain type of glue to assure it permanently?

I am also looking into glueing the loupe to a 3" lcd shade that connects to the tripod hole of the camera, see picture below:

Any experiences with this solution? It would be nice if I can still connect my grip after attaching this shade. Any ideas on this?

Thanks in advance, this is a great place!

Pretty cool, I just wrote to them to find out if they are working on a 7D version. If they do I'll buy one and let you know
