Hi guys,
what do you think of these cheapo ones?
are they ok you think for the 5D? I'm just worried that I won't be able to jam my eyes to the hoodloupe of the 5D with these things.
I'm just looking for something simple, light easy to put down and rig up. I've had a look at cinevate, red rock, zacuto and stuff.. beautiful babies.. but I can't afford to throw in another few thousand bucks on the rig at the moment.. plus I'm not shooting 5D exclusively just yet.
just looking for something cheap and nice to add in the goodie bag.
I think the most important thing is to have something that can rest on your body. that way you will reduce the shakyness. I've bought the hoodloupe from hoodman separately anyway, so I can sort of lean the camera into my eye somehow which adds stability.
The only problem now is whether these ebay items can put the camera close enough to my eye.
Please bear in mind that I've looked at some shoulder mount rig that rest the camera on your shoulder kinda thing. I think it won't really make a big difference to the stability. I think you'd need something around your chest area to be able to jam it against your body. but then again, i might be wrong.
