Greetings from New Zealand. You are a genius! You should really consider selling this simply incredible modification to Sigma. Wishing you great success in all that you do. Warmest regards.
No idea if you're a single person, company or a complete engineer team. No idea if it I will have ever an fp camera, but man you got a big fan of your work here... 👏Bravo!
@@DarkPowerLaboratory Another project for you…can you make a grip like this ua-cam.com/video/8rpKvhLeHCc/v-deo.html but make the handgrip take an sony np-f550 which has hidden cable to dummy battery?
camera had some drawbacks that at the original price point it made no sense to buy it vs the competition. At big discounts new or used, it can sort of make sense, depending on preferences. However, if you want a flip screen and dont already own the fp, just buy another camera. And if you do own it, it likely makes more sense to get an external screen. kudos to the guy who made this though, pretty cool.
Hi! it is amazing!.Do you sell the screen upgrade tool package ( everything you used in this video ) I have the fp and I like to upgrade the screen as you did
I have a question for you: do you think you could somehow mount an EVF from a SD Quattro on a FPL? replacing the on off switch and maybe the mode switch. And create what Sigma should have done, a rangefinder FPL :) If you think, I will send you my cameras
The liquid cannot be transported by air, so it will not be included in the kit. The video says what needs to be prepared by yourself. Thanks. I replied in Aliexpress.
Compliments - very genius and sophisticated approach, which again proofs the "narrow mindedness" of a camera producer.

Hi. I have created a device for LVF-11 to rotate with the flip screen, please take a look at my AE store. Sorry, I can only provide this modification service in China. But I think there will be many people in your country who have completed this modification themselves, perhaps they can seek help. :)
@@DarkPowerLaboratory thank you very much... At AE shop I cannot find your FP stuff, only the rigs etc...and your link leads to a sit where I only can 1 USD;-))
Hi, I don't understand something here. Are the screen connector pins staggered ? I count 20 lines on screen connector but they are marked 1 to 41. And I see you use a 45 pins FFC. Am I missing something ? I'm confused.
There is no way! two days ago i found your shop and today there are no more listed items. :( Unlucky me! Is there another way to buy your mods? Great work!
Der Hauptgrund warum ich diese spezielle Sigma fp L nicht kaufen würde, ist das fehlende Klappdisplay. Du solltest es als Set zum Umbauen mit Anleitungen auf den Markt bringen! Oder hast du es gekauft? von wem? Ich würde aber den Akku herausmachen während des Umbaus.
Soon I will be launching a cage with a M2 SOLID-state box slot at the bottom, and the LVF-11 can be rotated with a flip screen for easy camera shooting.
@@DarkPowerLaboratory Now this is something I'm waiting for, this is gonna make this camera frocking awesome!! I'm waiting here with Credit card in hand :)
Thanks but no thanks, the screen may be a part of the heat dissipation system. But do get in touch with Sigma as they may be interested in buying your design mod etc... Laurie New Zealand

Perfect. I don't own a Sigma yet. But the lack of the waist level finder pushed me back. Amazing to know this DIY exists and works great.

Unless you break something in the process, then it cost a lot for a new screen or repair
This video is feeding my OCD... In a good way!
This is the best news I have ever heard!😂
now that is just insane. awesome!
That's amazing! Your my hero, dude!
The fp is worth the effort
Absolutely amazing
Bought a sigma fp today. And feel the need for this product.... I'm afraid of putting it together.
Brilliant. Licence to Sigma to factory fit!
Excellent!
I thought you also had a hood that attached to that screen.
Very clever engineering!
Brilliant!
动手能力好强，达人！
谢谢您！只是特别喜欢这个小小的相机。
really impressive 👍
Flawless victory!
Fantastic! Now I'm waiting for a better autofocus before to get mine, I don't know if they improved it with the last firmware update
Im afraid new model “maybe”
Awesome!
What a shame to SIGMA! Unbelievable job man!
Sigma is great, but I need more.
Excellent!
You are great 👍
Amazing good job 👍
this would be perfect if the image rotated when flipped up otherwise this is a great mod. can the viewfinder still be attached?
The cage is not yet available, and the LVF-11 will also be rotatable.
Not bad, but that thin ribbon cable still looks fragile if pulled by accident.
Great video! How do you make the continent rotate on the screen want you flip it up?

Fantastic & Cleaver
I love this idea, but is it still weather-sealed afterwards?
no

Hello, are you able to do a screen mod for the Sony fx30. Can you mod it to be the screen similar to a7rv or just a tilt instead of floppy screen?
Hi. There is no such plan. Thx. ;)
Just got my kit today, but where is the "Solutions of Glue (debonder)" ??
The liquid cannot be transported by air, so it will not be included in the kit. The video says what needs to be prepared by yourself. Thanks.
I replied in Aliexpress.
Could you replace the screen with a bigger, brighter screen? It looks fairly easy to replace, seeing there is only one wire!
There is no better screen to replace.
Can you make a flip screen conversion kit for the GX85/GX9? Panasonic absolutely refuses to make a compact camera with every feature.
I wonder what you mean? My GX9 already has a flip-up screen.
According to your store this modification is either out of stock or discontinued. Are you going to stock more anytime soon. Greetings from the UK

Ich mag diese kleine Kamera sehr, also habe ich diese Geräte entworfen und produziert, um den Bildschirm kippen zu lassen.
Have you by any chance made a small viewfinder for the Fpl ? And a flash hotshoe ?
Please see my channel for more things. I'm not sure what you're talking about. Thx.
What else can be used other than iso. alchohol to loosen the glue on the screen edges?
Hi. Alcohol can be used, but pay attention to the time of volatilization. As long as it can dissolve the glue, it is usually non corrosive.
Failed Attempt --- Screen seemed to have failed when pulling. Now screen is really dim on left side. Bummer...
I'm very sorry for your trouble. You can restore the camera to its factory condition and seek repair services from Sigma. Thanks.
This is genius but is there a version were it flips out to the left? I don't like that the screen doesn't flip when the LCD is flipped.
Not yet, maybe in future;)
I’d really want this too :)
The camera was weather sealed. I guess that is not the case now.
is it splash free or after changing the screen we couldn't use the camera under rain?
I'm afraid not. Even though the camera is waterproof, getting caught in the rain is not a good idea.
Hello, I want to buy it but do you sell the updated version where the screen rotates the image the right side? Also, do you sell on eBay?
The image cannot be rotated. You can contact me: facebook.com/power.cheung.DPL

This mod looks great, does the fp still fit into the SmallRig cage with the wooden handle after conversion? :-)
The two hinges on the top of the flip screen are fine as long as they are not blocked.

The screen as a part of the heat dissipation system? How did you come up with this idea? The heat dissipation system is BEHIND the screen.
If anything it would dissipate better with the screen flipped up
