High-Res Monitoring Solution: Low Cost Semi-DIY project

yea you'd need the mirror anyways to get talents looking at the lens so I guess if you could expand it then it would be perfect!

hummm....

GET TO WORK ON IT! :tongue:
 
By some Kydex, (thermally form able plastic) and make your own. You can bend it easily once heated and form fit it to your monitor. I'll post up pictures of the hoods that I have made later this evening.

I was shooting with my friend Matty_G and he has a marshal and bought that shade. it comes with velcro strips that glue to the monitor. so the monitor hood can be put on and removed with ease. Unfortunately, the strips' glue is weaker than the velcro, and they fall off after some use. I was definitely disappointed with it.
 
sinarch, which shade are you refering to? Though they both be from the same company... Hoodman. I'm reluctant to go back to them but that tapered shade looks to be and improvement over the other... which I currently have. Better glue shouldnt be a problem to find
 
not sure of the model, but its the one that doesn't taper. not sure how to glue the velcro to the monitor so it sticks. I guess a double sided tape sort of thing but then the velcro would be sticking out even more. who knows.
 
FYI: HomeDepot sells Industrial strength Velcro...that stuff is super strong [glues itself]
and expensive.

comes in little/med sized white box...I also use it all the time and have it here now

That I'd like to see, also how to create with it..for us fellow DIY types
sounds very cool!
 
Would someone mind posting a link to exactly what Noga arm you are using with your Lilliput for upside-down mounting on a DVX/HVX?

Most appreciated.
 
Hi all,

Here are a couple of pics of the first hood I made for my camera stabilizer monitor. The newer one uses fabric at the bends so it can be folded flat when I take it off. I'll take a couple of up to date pictures of that one and the monitor hood I use for the shoulder mount since they are a bit different and post later. BTW, total cost for one was around $5.

The VGA converter won't kill a battery for hours. In fact, I went shooting from 8 - 8, never turned off the MP3300's (Have to unplug them) and didn't have to charge.

The LCD monitor will kill one a bit faster at 14volts. I haven't really measured, but again, I haven't had to charge during a day of shooting.

Mounting is the main issue with the MP3300's. I am going to try to get a smaller 6v battery for the MayFlash to strap onto the screen and just use the MP3300's to power the monitor.
 
hahahah I strapped on an auto booster, small size with two cigarette ports, into a back-pack today. One power supply ran my camera and the other my lilliput. I got power forever. Hey, I discovered the sun didnt prevent me from viewing the lcd, I could still focus, though Bobs screen wouldnt hurt.
