Cinema5D Quick Take: Cinevate Cyclops HDSLR Viewfinder.

Dennis Wood from Cinevate Inc. was showing off his brand spanking new monster Cyclops Viewfinder for HDSLR's at Canon expo 2010. The viewfinder is a pretty cool option for those looking for a two eye system to operate the camera. The Cyclops can also double as a 72mm Macro adapter when attached to the front of the lens.

Jared, thanks again for posting this up! We'll have the balance of the Cinevate clips up (3 parts) this week so you'll be able to see all the rigging options we've built around Cyclops. It's much more than a viewfinder! Based on response from all of the folks who saw it "live" at the Canon Pro Expo, I'm about as excited about this product as I've been about any of our gear.

Cheers,
Dennis Wood

@jacksonofalltrades Because its meant for people to use both eyes for, an additionally people that wear glasses. So they wont have to take off their glasses everytime they wanna look through it.

I just bought it from someone but I'm not very satisfied. Looking through it is like viewing in a tube, the image doesn't fill your entire field of view. It's like watching a drive-in cinema screen.
