60d flip out LCD...any attachable options? at DVinfo.net

Chris Westerstrom · September 29th, 2010, 06:15 AM

Hello,

I am the proud owner of the 7d. I have been prioritizing other equipment over a monitor attachment for my camera. This is mainly because I do a lot of run and gun work which requires me to pack up and move on and I don't like having to attach too many things at each location.

I was looking at the 60d and feeling a bit bummed that the flip out LCD didn't come with the 7d.

But my question to you fellow dvinfo friends is whether or not you guys have seen any options of an attachable flip out LCD screen?

It seems like these small solutions shouldn't be too hard to find, maybe one could be mounted to the top shoe and connect via HDMI. I like to shoot at a lot of low angles and find it frustrating that sometimes I can't get a clear view with the fixed rear LCD screen of the 7d.

It seems a very smart option IMO.

Hoodman has a mount for flip LCD's for their Hoodloupe.

Here ya go: Redrock Micro - microEVF

Less expensive than the Zacuto by far, and here's an interesting take on both of them: http://nofilmschool.com/2010/09/zacu...redrock-micro/
