Flip35 for Jag35 adapter

The "Flip35" is an excellent idea. Congratulations to its creator. http://www.drei-fragezeichen-zentrale.de/Termine/flip_post/flip35.html
When I first got the Jag35 adapter I found it really awkward to shoot video with. The image on the LCD is upside down and the right side is to your left. It is difficult to frame.
So, It's either send your camera away for a flip hack or make yourself a "Flip35" module. My camera is still under warranty, and a flip hack will void the warranty, so I opted for the Do It Yourself "Flip35". It works really well. Although you won't be able to rotate the LCD, since its folded against the video camera. With a flip hack you may be able to rotate the LCD screen. Total cost was under $10 USD. Its very important to use "first surface mirrors" so you don't get ghostly images. I bought the mirrors on Ebay.

The website doesn't work - could you explain the placement of the mirrors?

[kuunami]

I'm looking to make one of these too but I can't find any info on where to get the first surface mirror and what size is needed. Where you able to find anything?

@stevetosborne i heard that doesn't work with a lot of cameras only certain ones.

wow great idea, and it may not look pretty but great innovation

[NotVerySeriousFilms]

scary sounds like the mirror glass is cutting into the lcd screen at 0:59

GENIUS!

[stevetosborne]

wow... how very complicated. Do you know that you can place a small magnet on the back of your screen in the right spot and it will flip the image on the screen. That is how it works when you flip the screen over. As you flip it, you move it past a magnet which flips the screen orientation.

Where can i get first surface mirrors like that?

[Alvinwhatup2]

I actually found that if you practice enough with the image flipped that you get used to it.
