Build a LCD Viewfinder for Cheap

viewfinder.JPG
In my first english speaking tutorial I want to show you, how to build your own viewfinder for around 15€ - looking and working like a professional product! This little thing helps you on using your DSLR camera for recording video. With it's great possibilities DSLRs are used more and more in filming - but still missing the original viewfinder of a videocamera.

You just need:

- black foam board
- Bresser Autoswing-Magnifier 3x/42x31mm http://amzn.to/zRrNmu
- pipe seal

And if you want to build the viewfinder for your Canon twi/550D you can use this template I created:http://bit.ly/A4mOen
