Flipping HVX LCD

[hopalongmedia]

Hey all. I've been using the HVX with the Red-Rock Micro SLR lense adapter. If you know about these guys, you know they make great pictures with sweet DOF, but they flip the picture over. My on camera IKAN monitor was the answer to this, but it just took a dump and I have a shoot on Sunday.

Soo.. I fugured out how to flip the LCD screen on the camera if any one's interested.

It requires minor surgery, but nothing irreversible. My partner told me she got nauseous when she came in and saw the camera open, but if you want to know, this is it.

There's a little cover on the knuckle that the LCD attaches to. This cover popped off with a sharp knife, It pops back on again, but you have to be SUPER GENTLE. <--not like that.

There is alittle switch in there that flips the LCD over. I just stuck something in there. I think it was a bit of cable tie.

I've got some pics, I'll post them when I get a chance.

PLEASE BE NICE TO YOUR $6000 CAMERA!

peace etc...
