Viewfinder for Shoulder Mounted Hvx... ?

[Baddack]

Hi

Recently I've seen some picture of an hvx200 with an other viewfinder, like these from shoulder mounted cameras. I've completly forgotten where the picture are unfortunatly....
And I don't know if they are fake or working...

Is it possible to add an other viewfinder to shoot on the shoulder ? Even by hacking the camera own viewfinder?

thx

there are more but this gives you the idea of how you shoulder mount these kind of cameras. Unless someone knows a hack i just haven't heard of.

The guys over at P+S Technic have a system for mounting a standard CRT viewfinder to the mini-cams with their 35mm adapter. It's a pretty impressive system but you could almost buy a varicam for the cost... I've been tempted to try it out as a rental though....
