LS 300 improvement

Stein Onshus · March 20th, 2017, 05:14 AM

Hi all.

I decided to reuse some of my drawer gadgets to improve my LS300. The LS 300 LCD is the same size as my BMPCC and the Zacuto https://store.zacuto.com/blackmagic-...mera-z-finder/ provides an excelent magnification. The issue was how to connect it without putting load on the LCD. Decided to use a "magic arm" and fixed a flash connection to the z-finer. It is hardly possible to see it in the z-finder when using it. Hope you find it useful -as a lot have the z-finder - BMPCC combination.

Excuse my poor iPhone picture.

I got the idea from this How to keep the Zacuto C100 Z-Finder Pro in any position without using the Z-Bands. | .

Very nice looking rig. I see the Vedra lens awesome choice. I hear they are really good for the price point. Interesting your lanc control. I still have mine from the EA50 days. I will have to break that baby back out.

I like the Veydras, especially for HD with the prime zoom, that is the reason behind the Libec Lanc control. This is not my profession and I am filming much to little at the moment, sorry to say - but will change it towards the summertime. .
