TL:DR: Can you flip your image in EVFs?
So I currently operate what I would call a āproject camera.ā Ie. I enjoy putting together complex, yet elegant rigs for my cameras and I also enjoy bootleg situations to problems. Before you ask, I would never shoot a wedding on some bootleg garbage I threw together, this is for short films and art purposes primarily.
Iām using a Blackmagic Micro Studio 4K as my main run and gun. The camera is old and quirky, but the absolutely microscopic form factor, SDI ports, and the very unique sensor that can use lenses at 4K that other people can only film with in 2K, people with much shinier, better cameras than my own. Me and my design partner (a friend of mine) are already working on a solution to the ālack of onboard recordingā predicament with the setup and I have a nice cage setup going on with quick releases and 15mm rods and a V-mount.
My problem: we have a film coming up where I want to run the camera on my shoulder, which necessitates the use of a viewfinder. The problem, however, is in the design process for the camera itself we decided to mount the camera UPSIDE DOWN in the rig, due to Blackmagicās odd choice to include so few non-standard-distanced 1/4ā-20s on the thing, the camera needed to sit upside down so I could cage it properly. This will, naturally, wind up with a default viewfinder setup serving me an upside down picture in my eye when it gets plugged in.
Iām pretty new to EVFs, so maybe this is a standard feature, but are there EVFs that you can rotate the image in the finder itself? Are there notable ones that do/donāt to get/avoid?
Thank you!
