Re: Interestng gadget to give screen view of dSLR viewfinders

zigviews original one has been out for a long time, its around £100 or so. im guessing this will be much more!

this looks much better tho. especially the remote option. how cool is that? i didnt read the article, but im assuming you wouldnt be able to remotly fire the shutter without a seperate remote or shutter release cable. i cant see that being a possiblity unless they made them to fit different cameras remote sockets..

very very cool tho!

Re: Interestng gadget to give screen view of dSLR viewfinders

That's quite nice actually.... but it also gives me an idea.

I was once overhauling my car, and was about to put a rear view camera in the dash board (don't ask why!).

So I have a spare pin-hole camera, and a 2" colour monitor.... this really makes me think that I could possibly rig one of these up!!!! LOL

Not quite a swish, but along the same lines.

I was thinking that I could set this kind of thing up near the bird table and then fire the camera from inside the house

Price for Zigview S2

Nice gadget but a bit pricey, IMO.

It's a shame - £250 is too much for me to consider one of those
