Are there any recomendations to extend the eyepiece? I have a GH4 mounted on a rail system and can't get close enough to the eyepiece. An LCD attachment might work too. Any help appreciated.

I have the Kamerar QV-1M. I use it with a rail system and works great as an eyepiece in a shoulder mount configuration. It adds a magnetic plate to the bottom of the camera though so it will change the camera height by about half an inch. The plate also doubles as a manfrotto quick release plate, so what I did is put the compatible mount on my rails so I can take the camera on and off my rails quickly. For greatest flexibility though, an Electronic viewfinder would be best, as you can place it where you need it and at any angle.
 
I couldn't live without my QV-1 M. Now that I use a Blade for viewing/recording I really miss having a loupe. I still keep the QV1 on my GH4 when the Blade screen doesn't show up as well in sunlight or when the 5" screen just isn't enough to focus without a good loupe. Considering buying the GRID 5" loupe for the blade because I miss the QV1 so much.

I use the Blade to record V-log at 10bit and use the new v-log LUT built into the latest Blade firmware.

Someone recommended this G-Cup eye piece replacement for the GH4.

I have the QV-1M and have used it on my GH2, but haven't tested it yet on the GH4. It's just an extra thing to mount on the bottom.
