zeta9 Carrier
Carrier system — the base every magnetic top mounts on.
Universal hot-shoe mount, Soyes XS19Pro holder, and magnetic mounting surface — the platform under every zeta9.de top.
Three parts, three jobs. Together they hold the smartphone and the magnetic top in adjustable position above your camera.
Universal hot-shoe mount
Fits any camera with a standard hot shoe and app connectivity — Canon, Leica, Nikon, Ricoh, Sony, and others. No tools, no screws, firm seat.
Soyes XS19Pro holder
Holds the smartphone exactly where it works as a viewfinder display. No modification to the device; it slips out whenever you want it back.
Magnetic mounting surface
A single standard interface for every zeta9.de magnetic top. Set the top down, it snaps in. Swap one for another in seconds, no tools.
What else you will need
The carrier attaches your smartphone in an adjustable position on the camera. The smartphone we use is the Soyes XS19Pro — the smallest Android-12-capable device on the market today. It serves as the display, is ready for your camera manufacturer's live view app via the Google Play Store, and handles the wireless image transfer. Without it, the viewfinder has nothing to show — you will need one. We work directly with AIPHOR, the manufacturer of the Soyes — 5% off the manufacturer's current price, worldwide shipping direct from the factory.

The carrier is the foundation. What turns the zeta9.de viewfinder into a composition tool is the magnetic top you set on it. Which aspect ratio do you start with?
