Many camera operators still prefer to use a 7” CRT viewfinder, which although it’s still monochrome, has no lag. This can be a critical factor particularly when focusing on a fast moving cricket or golf ball.

The HDVF-700 viewfinder normally requires an HDLA type camera cradle to physically support the weight of the CRT, and to supply enough power. In order to bypass the need for a camera cradle, this adapter has been designed, and has been in use with several OB companies for over a year now.

This adapter consists of a mechanical mount so that you can securely attach the viewfinder directly to the camera, plus an electrical adapter to combine available power sources from the camera and run the viewfinder without the need for an external power source.

The mount allows for rotation of the viewfinder, plus the normal tilt and height adjustment.

It will also work with the new HDVF-EL100 OLED viewfinder. This organic LED screen also normally requires a camera cradle, but if you need to keep things compact and lightweight you can use this viewfinder adapter instead.
