Thanks for the video. I'm curious to know your setup at 4:46. Specifically everything behind the back of the Fx6. How is the DJI transmission secured to the back of the tilta cage? It looks like some sort of Tilta attachment that connects to the back of a full cage battery plate. This seems like a great setup for a shoulderrig to ensure the Fx6 is not so front heavy. What is the arm connecting to your handgrip? Looks beefy
Thanks! Yes Tilta Vlock plate on the DJI transmission, the arm is a really basic old Tilta arri rosette extension but it is ultra short so it's not actually comfy (at least for me). But the Tilta plate is clean, just the power doesn't go to camera unless it's on which is actually quite a pain as for my work.
Great video! I have this finder and the only problem is that the weight makes it sag and throws the horizon off when handheld. Zacuto should make a bracket like Bright Tangering to keep the plastic handle from flexing from the weight of the viewfinder rig.
Thank you and I agree, lovely EVF and used them for years but they are heavy and cause issues with the FX6 handle flex, strange other brands have not made their own handle brace other than Bright Tangerine. Thankfully though, Bright tangerine AXIS is a really great bit of kit that is fully compatible with this EVF mount. It's almost the ultimate solution from my personal use case as It gives you all the flexibility you would want from an EVF and let's you quickly remove the EVF from the LCD quickly like how I attached it at the start (like how it works on the FS7 and FX9), it would also let you use the Handle support bracket as well, just it's another £400 on top and some extra weight to the overall camera package.
I wish.. Sony doesn't really understand the design or the needs of filmmakers as they seem to just refuse to design one. They need to just produce an amazing all round LCD/eyepiece combo like ARRI that's compatible with the VF cable or adaptable to other connectors. They just don't seem to want to make one.
I do have a little loop and the little 16.9 letterbox shade, In sunlight I'd just angle the lens down to the floor rather than fiddle with the dangling piece to cover it up, but all great points and I assume screen burn issues are produced by direct sunlight as is what happens with all EVF's.
Thank you for this!

Why doesn’t anybody make a real viewfinder for the FX6 ?

you need to read up on the Zacuto loop and screen burn issue.. keep the viewfinder covered up..
