Icuiti glasses?
Has anybody tried the Icuiti video glasses? I just got a Sharper Image catalog in the mail and saw that they sell a pair of video glasses now. I was wondering if anybody had tried them yet? If so, do you think they would work well as a way to check images on the XL2? I like to shoot timelapse stuff and I have a bad habit of wanting to check the viewfinder during taping. This has caused a jiggle in the fottage as I keep touching the camera accidentaly when I look. I was originally thinking I would get an external LCD monitor but after seeing these glasses I was wondering if they would work better. I am thinking that the image may be better, as there would be no light shining on the screen with these. They have 920,000 pixel LCDs (640X480) so I know they won't be as good for 16:9 as a widescreen monitor for size accuracy. I assume they will horizontally squash the image. I don't think they would be suitable to wear for a whole shoot, just for checking out the action and setting focus etc.
They have the added benefit of having an adaptor available that will work with the video iPod. Any thoughts? Colin
