p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Accessory Needed: D500 Vertical Viewfinder for Shooting Video


I need a way to focus while doing video with my D500.....without all the clicking and clacking of its integral AF. I guess if you want to eliminate the obtrusive AF sound in the video, you must choose manual focus. Ok, I will do it.

But I want to look DOWN; i.e. the same as looking into a right angle finder. Doing a google image search does not come up with much.

I love video because it documents nature better than still imagery. I still love my still nature photography too.

Surely there are some pro DSLR videographers out there. do any of you know of such a pro-quality right angle finder designed for DSLR's that can be attached to this D500?

Thank you

Robert

I never use AF when shooting video. I also rarely use a DSLR for video either - crappy codecs, crappy bit depth, crappy bit rates, crappy ergonomics. I would highly recommend using a dedicated video rig.

Robert,
Most shooters use a larger external monitor with a hood to shade the screen and a follow focus rig with a support system. By the time you add on audio, power and support you end up looking like this guy.



Video is a whole different world.
