I bought an LCD hood for my camera, put some velcro on the back of a small mirror and put that on the inside of the bottom panel of the hood. Not 100%, but sure makes panning a whole lot easier!
Dude, this is cool. I really like your idea of the optical viewfinder image flipper. First time I've seen this. Seems a lot more practical than other solutions I've seen.
Did you make the optical viewfinder? Or did you purchase it somewhere? I would love to have some more info on this setup, I really love the DOF adapter and would pay to have one made or the plans to make one.
Why wouldn't you just shoot your video right side up and then just invert the image in post production? I can't think of an instance where you'd really need to shoot upside down?
I do hold both right side up or upside down. But I liked the A1J's XLR microphone has stabilizer-like effect that keeps horizontal pisition by its weight.
What type of lens did you use for the inside of the viewfinder?

Hello. I am a Japanese. This is splendid. I am interested in a view finder. Would you teach me the how to make if all right?
(If there is a Web page introducing, please teach it)
Thanking you in advance.

Wow, that is cool. How did you build the image flipper? Is it just a lens and a tube? Perhaps...could you post a 'how to' vid??

It's HVR-A1J, a professional model of HC1 for Japanese market. There's A1U for North America, A1E for Europ and PAL countries.
