So what are the best solutions for handheld viewfinder?

i use the redrock should mount kit onto a zacuto system with a marshall 7 in monitor - i use it with a hoodman hood and it's far enough from my face to do the job. I'm not the biggest fan of the small hd dp6 monitor so i don't know how that one will be.
 
Are there any good loupes that fit the LCD? What´s the best solution right now?
If you're shooting outdoors, the best solution I've found for the F3 so far is the new Zacuto Z-Finder EVF Pro. While technically not a simple loupe, it's more convenient to use than a monitor, not a problem in sunlight and produces a large, sharp image that makes focusing a breeze. And since it does not attach to the F3's LCD, there's no risk of LCD breakage and it can be mounted in a more convenient position.
I must admit that I was skeptical when it first arrived, but after using it for only a few minutes I was convinced of its value. I've tried the TV-Logic and a few others, and have found them to be unwieldily for handheld use and a genuine pain in sunlight. The Zacuto, which can be mounted in a multitude of positions, feels like it belongs on the camera.

Got this from Abel Cine. Used my RedRock offset to mount the Cineroid on the rods. It took four manufacturers products, but it works really well.photo1.jpgphoto2.jpg
