This doesn't bode well for even the loupe size!

@theteddy Thanks, finally found someone else with old age eyesight issues, either that or the only ones owning up to it :-). My solution was to purchase 3x cheap reading glasses and look at the LCD screen from 3inches away. Fark, can't believe my eyesight must have been this good once, my arms were too short to read the newspaper 20 years ago. All my Loupes are in the bin.

Shit.

@vicharris Have you solved the Varavon twisting problem which interferes with FF?

@cp_from_oz Without other support, nope. There's just no way to get it down tight enough and since it raises the body of the camera up a little from whatever you have it locked down to, it moves a little more. I was using a tripod mount adapter but wanted the option of using different mount lenses, so I took the tripod mount part off and picked up the varavon lens support thing sold on here. It took my a bit to figure out how to fit everything on my rails but it's good to go now with that Lens support thing.

@cp_from_oz Sure, I'll throw a few pics up right now. They aren't the best but I'll explain what the hell is going on best I can.

I think a few folks are going to like the rig I just built. GH3! (btw not the solo as I misstated in the video, it is the proper Varavon ex GH1/2 supporter)

@Vitaliy_Kiselev I never saw it coming.

So is it all supported off of the hot shoe mount?

So I'd had a failure with my Loupe. I really haven't used it as much as I thought I would but it still works great. The only thing is that the tabs that hold the rubber eye piece on, seem to have broken off. They are part of the main body and actually seem to be a weak point IMO. Not sure if it is even fixable but I'll contact the company when I finish this job. Fix: Took some gaffers tap and wrapped it around there eye piece, still works like a charm though.

Does anyone know if Varavon will be making a loupe for the GH3 flip out display?

Yep. They will.

@Vitaliy Any expected timeline?

@feha I know which is why I'd put a QR system to raise the body of the GH3 up a bit. Carryspeed has said they were making a GH3 versions but were delayed due to Chinese new year.
