  1. #1 Any ideas for mounting LCD screen to allow for use of Epic on shoulder 
    I don't have my bomb EVF yet, so I was wondering whether anyone thought up a great idea for mounting the LCD to the front and left of the camera to let us put the thing on our shoulder...

    Many thanks

    This may be a stupid question, but since I've never seen an Epic in real life...is it possible to flip the LCD image in the camera's software settings? I think that using a mount like a x Easy Stick would be a great way to hang the LCD upside down. This would get it off to the left side of the camera, and down lower in your eyeline.

    We simply use a 9" arm or mount it on the far left hole in the universal mount (connected via top rails). Both work well.

    I 'rearranged' my clutch slightly such that I netted two spare parts which work nicely for the LCD. No detriment to the clutch, just a very marginally different config.



    Now it just slips on and off one of my 19mm rods, and is oriented so that the cable exits nicely around under the lens, and the screen can still turn round 180 degrees if needed to face outwards or forwards.

    This is my thought. I have a 9" Israeli arm on the way for this purpose. You should be able to connect one end to the DSMC Universal mount and the other end to the Touchscreeen mount, they are both 1/4 20 threads I believe...

    The 180 degree picture flip is, I hope, on the work... It's been asked for numerous times.

    See you.
