I've been thinking of creating a wifi viewfinder that is small enough to go around someones neck by means of a string necklace. The viewfinder would be essentially a light, eyepiece with a small LCD screen inside magnified. There would be a parent unit that hooks up to the certain camera on set. And it, un-obtrusivley captures the image from the cameras viewfinder(without prohibiting the the actual camera viewfinders function.---(I have drawings and skematics of how this can be achieved-:Drogar-BigGrin(DBG) )) and transmites it to the "satellite unit(s)".
The idea is: a set can be very hectic, and it can be a hassle for a director, DP, or anyone else helping set up a shot, to always walk over to the camera to check to see if every miniscule thing is "perfect", when the certain someone can just look through the satellite viewfinder from anywhere on set, (whether it be two feet from an actor or 7 feet behind them) to see what is wrong with the shot, whether it be blocking, lighting, or "that vase isn't placed correctly in conjuction to that giant green screen"... etc...
I think this will be a nice, useful feature that will fit the Red Arsenal
hope it sounds cool
cheers
