Eyecup

[Summy]

Hey Guys!

I was thinking of modding my gh1 into a super8 style shooting rig with just a pistol-grip and a eyecup as points of contact.

So i was wondering if anyone has found a good attachable eyecup for the EFV that avoid light leaks and is comfortable for longer shooting?

Any suggestions are welcome!

Regards

Man, I hate to sound like a Zacuto whore, but…

The Z-Finder, expensive as it is, makes the GH1 do exactly what you want it to do. And they've got a grip configuration that fits the bill as well. Here's a link to footage I shot last week using exactly this combination of gear…

thanks for the idea.
this is my solution, personally one of my favorite things about the gh1 is the live-view thru the eyepiece. (as opposed to the 5d or any other dslr where you need to basically convert the lcd to a second eyepiece.

this took minutes to do and i think it feels pretty great
