Review on Never Lose Your Lens Cap Again - Zeikos ZE-LCH1 Lens Cap Holder For DSLR Cameras by Eric Wohlman

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Lasted a day, then they popped off

Let me preface this review with a reminder of the price. You get what you pay for. Still, the product is intended to be a lens saver. They popped off my lens caps by the end of the first day and didn't save any lenses after that. Removing the small paper exposes the adhesive side of the "bud" you must press against your cap to install. The buds don't stick on very well. The opposite side of the bud has a small plastic sticker that bears a small silver circle. I'm not sure what, if any, purpose the sticker has, but it sure felt cheaply made as they were not centered and began to peel off in hours leaving the adhesive behind. In wind at Yellowstone, the dangling cap flapped about, occasionally ending up in the photo, and making videos impossible due to the noise. A small piece of velcro somewhere on the camera body, and the other on the cap could solve that. I used a drop of superglue. Problem solved, right? An hour later, the thin nylon string on two of them unraveled. Still, despite all the negatives, I feel a bit foolish complaining about something that cost less than a buck so I'll add a star for value.

Pros
  • Eliminates visual distractions during photo shoots
Cons
  • It may obstruct the viewfinder
