C100: Edelkrone EVF Holder with Ninja Blade on C100

[bengiles]

I wasn't sure if this would fit and I'd end up returning it and going for a Zacuto Axis.

However, I'm very impressed with the quality. It's solid and reassuringly chunky, without adding significant weight. It won't clear the left side of XLR bridge, but it's reaching every angle I'd want and, at £105 from proav.co.uk, it's less than the third of the price of the Axis.

Will update further down the line, when it's had some proper abuse, but nothing concerns me at the mo - I think this one's a keeper and will just become part of the standard kit.

i had most products that Edelkrone produce and EVF holder is the one that u can trust 100%, i sold everything else from edelkrone, but still use EVF holder: great idea, cheap and simple to use! i used it with Small HD DP1X 9` monitor - and its still works and holds it no problems!!!

Does it work without the handle?

It mounts to the hotshoe so would work without the handle. I was considering buying it myself and had asked Edelkrone.

Can you mount it to the 1/4 hole at the back of the handle or is it just a hotshoe job?

You might want to get the Atomos Sun Hood

It's a coldshoe mount, so you'd need a fairly robust 1/4 adapter.

Looks like you might otherwise be able to swap the front coldshoe with the rear 1/4 plate - haven't tried it, but a quick check with a ruler suggests they might have the same pitch/layout.

Will the Samurai Blade sun hood work on the NB?

Yes Ninja Blade and Samurai Blade have exactly the same dimension and mounting screw.

does the evf holder hit the audio levels if you try lower it down? it looks like it could let me know Im looking at this unit and if i cant lower it down more than what you have here its kind of a deal breaker for me. Maybe you can post more pictures? ,. thanks

It doesn't completely clear them, but in practise, that hasn't been an issue and I've achieved all angles I've needed. I've used it on several solid weeks of shooting and I've only since tweaked it to bring it below my eyeline, so I can see it with varifocal glasses. Update here:
