iDC Viewfinder

Here’s a new item we’ll be adding to our store. I think it might be of interest to users who work in rugged environments and challenging weather. I originally developed this outfit for the 55th Combat Camera Platoon out of Ft. Mead, Maryland. The photographers of Combat Camera Platoon are charged with the daily creation of both stills and video, day or night, rain or shine. With that in mind, let’s look at the thinking behind this particular product.

I’ve received a number of inquiries as to how I’m managing the manual focusing challenges when shooting HD with the 5D Mark II. I’ve used a Marshall LCD with some success but it’s far from perfect, bulky, and quite pricey. My favorite and best solution is one that is shockingly simple and it works equally well in both bright and low-light conditions. It’s my newest gadget, the iDC LCD Viewfinder. I’ve used this delightful little gadget to capture much of the footage in this video montage.
