GH1, GH2 EVF Eyecup

[evanflys]

Definitely interested! Need one for a GH1, a GH2, and a G10 please! :laugh:

This is a prototyoe version of the EVF Eyecup for a GH1 and GH2. It consists of an aluminium base plate with a large rubber eyecup, which fits perfectly into the existing EVF and is mounted by sliding it in to the cameras hotshoe bracket. There is also an option to add a coldshoe to top of the base plate as well.

I have made a few of these up for our production rigs and they work and hold up very well. They make it allot easier to see the EVF without letting any light in, and it is much more comfortable than the standard EVF rubber frame.

Very nice! Does the LCD open and close with it on?

Looks like it doesn't quite get all the way in the hot shoe?

Also I'd go with a bigger more beefy eyecup, possible necessitating a larger mount, than that little (hoodman?) one. Something off a real video camera.

The LCD opens and closes with a simple lift of the bottom of the rubber eyecup to pass it by. Or the whole unit can slide out very easily if a larger eyecup was used. We mount our cameras in a cage and the coldshoe is replaced with another bracket to locked the camera down even further.

I also like the look of this...would be interested to buy one if the price is reasonable.

I am also interested in the eyecup.

Very nice! I modified my GH13 as well to have eyecup a few months ago and I love it! But I would love to buy one for my future GH2 and not having to go through the same hassle. As for a magnifier, I am not sure if it is necessary. GH1's evf is great to use it as is. Well I guess I may be interested in the feature if you can make it with high quality magnifying glass and still make it compact and reasonable.

Put me down for one as well please if the price isn't exorbitant.

rigs, having it on EVF is super! I take off my glasses when using EVF. The diopter helps a lot for people like me.

Can you please make the rubber piece detachable so that Nikon rubber piece can fit in?

I guess it would be a good idea to have an option for a larger cup for those who want to use it with their glasses on. How big is the Nikon rubber piece you suggest?

I dont think it needs a magnifier. The eye cup bracket doesn't stick out to far from the original EVF. I'm trying to keep it light and simple and at a resonable cost. I think the cameras focus assist zoom function works very well as is.
