Can't be done without major modification. Steadicam ops just remove the diopter.

Yeah if you are using the EX3 on a Steadicam you have to remove the diopter for a couple of reasons. Most important is to be able to get dynamic balance without too much difficulty. It's also great as a second viewfinder when you are booming down or doing some gyrations where having a second monitor high up is handy.
There are a few threads on here about trying to remove the viewfinder. Unfortunately there are a whole bunch of thin wires that go between the handle and the viewfinder so there is no easy way to simply "detach" it. |
