Low Budget EVF-Concept

[Sascha Rossier]

Anybody thought about a Z-Finder, EVF, Hood-Loupe Solution with the RED LCD?
Does this already exist ... or would dat be something for all of us that can't afford a
bomb EVF ;-)

This is just a little concept-sketch:

cool. looking forward to this release ;-)

 

[Mark Toia]

Not a stupid idea at all...

 

[Sid Idris]

Certainly one way to address the milky evf issue...

 

[Lliam Worthington]

Very interested in this. Been waiting/hoping for someone to produce this solution.

well ... it probably has to be under $149, otherwise people just buy the SmalHD-EVF-Hood and snap it on.
(okay after some minor diy-modification;-)

Ouch.. I need this for shooting.. Some things I don't want to skimp on. If any of them are that cheap, then I will be very suspicious.

Well +1 on that. But sometimes cheap and good don't contradict.
The SmallHD EVF-Bracket is a Rock-Solid Piece of Gear i've been using day in and out ...
usually costs $199 and is on special NAB-Sale now for $149

Is this about to be announced Jon? I don't see it on their site?

 

[Sascha Rossier]

I think you have to member in their academy to be able to preorder ...

Check out this link. http://infotech.dreamwelder.com/forum/content.php?128-benefits
It looks like infotech members will be getting priority for orders ahead of anyone else along with a discount. If the discount equals the infotech membership cost then it looks like you get 3 months access to free infotech tutorials. Those guys did a great job on the RED 101 DVD so I'd be keen to see if these new Epic and Scarlet tutorials are as good.

Thanks Jon much appreciated (and Sascha).

This is about as low budget as you will get. Get a Hoodman Loupe 80 bucks and some abs plastic or I used thick vinyl. You can gaff tape it or glue it. Put some velcro on the outside of LCD and inside of loupe. I'm attaching a template you should be able to print it out to scale. Like I mentioned in a previous post I've been using mine for over 5 months and it rules.
