EVF Heated Eyepiece

[Ben Graham]

Is there any kind of heated eyepiece attachment for the EVF? Something other than DIY solutions that would make an operator a little more comfortable in cold weather

Sorry, got it wrong. It´s not a eyepiece heater!

I think most people just put a chamois cover on.

Large round is the size for original Red EVF. Because the eyepiece rubber is quite soft, it is frustratingly easy to knock the cover off when carrying the camera around though!

Thanks for the link for the evf heater but our client is requesting an eyepiece heater. Although I will buy a couple of these as well.

Also we have plenty of chamois, however they do nothing to warm your eye in minus 20.

If I'm not mistaken DENZ made the eyepiece anti-fog piece you are looking for.

And you can rent this one of the other EVF body heaters from Offhollywood as well...

Heh heh heh..

Thanks for the shout out anyway Mark. No this unit is NOT an eyepiece heater.. It heats the entire EVF.. It's designed to be used in extreme temps below freezing. It was released late this year (once it started getting warmer... Nice...) Some RedUsers in the colder areas have them, and they work fantastic. We've seen then protect the camera in temps below -15f (-20c or colder) and the battery lasts for over 4 hours there are 6 different power settings.. The Endurance models are double the strenght and have been very good at keeping the EVF from fogging up.

Because they are made of a thick insulating material, and weigh almost nothing, I keep the casing on my EVF all the time as it adds a layer of protection against bumps and falls. The battery compartments come off when you don't need to heat the unit. Mine has been on all year, on numerous shoots, and has done a good job of both warming the EVF and protecting it.

Peter uses one... Here's his thoughts:

I currently have about 10 or 20 in stock. I am happy to sell what I have. Here's the link

Thanks to everyone for the info. We have ordered 2 endurance models from Jay. Now if I can find that nice red white and blue eyepiece cover from offhollywoods pics I will be set.

Inner Mongolia in January is brutal!
