Hi there, I am newbie.
I have spent more than 1 month to complete my DIY 35mm adapter for my Sanyo Xacti VPC-FH1. The reason why it took me so long time was that I am in Korea, where I am a foreigner. Moreover, Korea market seems to be full of domestic products but it is not easy to find something interesting for DIY stuffs at all.
Anyway, let's return to what we are concerning here.
I have tried several ways to flip the image of the 35mm adapter. However, nothing makes me pleased. I bought a "straight" binocular to get the roof prism but it was too small for the adapter. I also tried using a mirror to get the flipped view of the camcorder LCD monitor , but it is not convenient at all.
Then I think of using an external LCD monitor.
I searched many shops in Seoul and also on the internet shopping (anything in Korea, in fact, can be found on Naver Shopping or Danawa).
Although they have very ideal size of from 3 to 4.3 inches, either portable media players (PMP) or portable tivi (DMB) sold in Korea DOES NOT has a function for video input.
Only portable DVD Players seem to be the candidate for an external monitor. But it is expensive and too big in my opinion. I am not satisfied with this because I do not need that big and also I do not need the function as a DVD player. This is the cheapest that I can find in Korea :

So I turned to search on Ebay and I found so many portable players with AV signal In-Out like the followings :
http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=p3907.m570.l1313&_nkw=AV+in/out&_sacat=See-All-Categories
The price is just around 40-60 USD for these kind of made-in-China products.
But I am not sure it can be good . I cannot go to their shops to test. I am also afraid of purchasing something from International Ebay due to many reasons ... that you also may know what I mean.
So is there anyone who has tried this way ?
I think it can be a very good choice for all the 35mm-adapter-men like us. What do you think of this ?
