GH4 The G-Cup

[Trotter G]

Miller & Schneider, creators of the C-Cup for Canon C100, dropped of a new prototype for their G-Cup for the GH4. Slides onto the frame where the existing EVF eye piece/pad goes. Super simple and works great.
Not shipping just yet but they said it should cost somewhere in the ballpark of $35. Not bad. Also works on the GH3. Maybe more but I didn't have any other GHs around to test it on.

Fairly soon, he says. I think they're finishing up a few things before being packaged up.

Is it just my viewing angle, or does it look like this G Cup will hinder screen movement?

 

[Ted Ramasola]

The material is probably flexible enough to let the lcd swivel out.

It's flexible rubberized plastic. You just kind of squish it out of the way to allow the screen to swing out.

I will purchase one.

Well looks like Andrew already posted but we've got them for sale as well here from our site.

Got mine yesterday, seems to be a good solution for outdoor work. You do need to push in a bit to see everything but it's worth the trouble to block out daylight. Also you may need to mess with Fn5 the LVF button to set it up so that it auto switches back and forth when you open the touch screen monitor.

From our store it's only a US thang. But Miller & Schneider might be shipping over water?

Yes, they are - just got mine in the UK. Not enjoying it wearing glasses - you have to push in too far imho. None glasses wearers will love it.

Got my G-cup. Fits nicely on the GH4 house. Hard to get the whole picture with glasses. But there is no perfect eye-cup solution for this camera given the small dimension of the camera's eyepiece. Without glasses it is absolutely useful... if you do not need glasses The rubber material of the G-cup though is a bit too stiff compared with most other camcorders' rubber eye-cups. Perhaps I should try to fit some chamois eye cushion, but it will probably reduce the visible area of the viewfinder picture. More feedback later.

I'm guessing not eye glass friendly?

Where can you get this in the Uk please?

Bummer, you can't open the LCD with it on??
