Grid 5.0 viewfinder review.

[M Hsu]

Dunno where the original thread went about this $160 viewfinder for your red touch screen, but I got mine today and while there's some slight pincushion distortion, it works pretty well even for someone with glasses. Just thought you should know it's decently made cause for the price I thought it might be sketchy but I was pleasantly surprised. Looks good on my epic and does what i need it to do. Took about 5 days to arrive from brazil. (shipping is $45 from brazil to the US)

Of course there is also the lovely carbonite scope by cinema oxide if you don't like the magnetic attachment or like carbon fiber.

Support the small vendor and they will make more useful stuff!

Oops just ordered one, and found out that thread, hope the pincushion distortion you described doesn't affect the viewing confort.

for me the pincushion distortion does not affect the functionality at all, I was just pointing out that while it's subtle, it's there for the sake of accuracy since i know a lot of you care about the details. As far as I'm concerned it's almost a no brainer along the lines of that mic tonaci found for $50. Good to have in a pinch in case you need it.

Pin cushion Is very slight. I wish the eyecup was bigger to better accommodate eyeglasses (since the diopter isn't focusable). However given the low cost. This is a no-brained purchase.

will this hood cover the slightly bigger smallhd DP6?
