dude with killer rig its best that u use a monitor instead of prism but anws thx for the tutorial!

[Pogunsavat]

Sony VX cams like this one hv a flip switch behind the plastic covering between the LCD screen and the body. Observe that when we twist the LCD to the front, a flip switch is pressed and activated. Just stick a match stick to that switch. Unfortunately, the left-right is still flipped but makes shooting a lot easier

omfg just flip it in editing :S

[arnarg]

@jakegrady95 this doesn't affect the footage you record at all, just flips what you see in the screen

[brendanpr21]

@jakegrady95 Flip the LCD screen that you view while recording in editing... that make's a lot of sense their buddy lol....

Can anyone show me a link to where you can buy a prism in this size for so cheap ($37 apparently?). I have been searching and can't seem to find one in that size so cheap. Thanks!

[santos1251]

Hi, just look for " Optical prism " on eBay! some times they have prism these sizes or even bigger for $35 or less . or look in to " laboratory supplies " web sites.

[toms900]

does this also flip it left/right

[Neshomaniac]

a little magnet is mauch cheaper, and it works perfectly for the lcd

[nandip77]

...but not with every camera...

[Neshomaniac]

... which cam?

[nandip77]

I have a Canon Vixia HG21 and the magnet not flipping the LCD.

Anyway I read on lot of site, this magnet solution working with only a few camcorder...

[Neshomaniac]

...thanks for the info, I didn't know that

[PVCLime]

@Neshomaniac a magnet doesnt work for all the cameras.. ?

[Neshomaniac]

@PVCLime ....I think it does. so tell me which cam doesn't...

[PVCLime]

@Neshomaniac ok. I tried my fridge magnets for some days ago. but I will try again soon just for this. but with a greater magnet. then I´ll tell you if it works. I´m using a Canon XM1.

but magnets cant be so good anyways, don´t they corrupt the colors or something? I havent tried my self but, it´s magnets stuck to electronics. :P

[santos1251]

Hi, it cost me $37 to build.( including the prism)

[notebizd]

Where did you get the prism from with the case?

[amf1620]

Do you have the plans to build the case for the prism and the velcro attachment? I would really love to learn how to make one of these.
