Eyepiece Extender

Increase the comfort and efficiency of operating TV cameras mounted away from the body, on a tripod or equivalent. The Extender relays the viewfinder image closer to the operator's eye so that the TV camera is not knocked or jolted during operation.

Small, lightweight TV cameras designed for hand held or shoulder mount are usually made with short eyepiece viewing systems. You will see what is "seen" in the camera viewfinder but with hand held or shoulder mounted operation the camera is prone to shake.

On a professional shoot, this type of movement is unacceptable and the preferred mode is to fix the TV camera to a tripod or equivalent. But when the operator is not directly holding the TV camera, the original small eyepiece viewfinder is too far away from the eye to use easily.  The Abakus Eyepiece Extender solves these issues.

Adapters are available for Sony, Panasonic and Thomson cameras. 

Wide Field Adapter for the Abakus Eyepiece Extention

The Wide Field Adapter works with the Abakus Eyepiece Extender to cover the larger image of Sony and some other HD color viewfinders.

The field of view is increased to over 70 mm, while retaining the 20 mm of eye relief.

Remove the existing eyepiece, replace it with the Wide Field Adapter and connect that to the Abakus Eyepiece Extender.
