BMPCC 6K Viewfinder Eyecups

PostThu Jan 26, 2023 4:35 am

Hello,
I am new to the Forum. I purchased a used viewfinder for the 6K G2 and it only came with 3 of the 4 rubber eye cups. The one that is missing is the one I really need, the left eye cinema eye cup.

Would anyone know where these eye cups can be purchased? An extensive search of Google only turned up stores in Italy, Australia and New Zealand, none in the United States.

Other options could be that someone who uses the right eye cinema cup could sell me the left eye cinema cup if they don't have a use for it or I could trade the right eye cinema cup that I have (and don't need) with someone who has a left eye cup that they don't need. That would give them a spare right eye cup.

Thank you.

For my experience (I live in Italy) don’t choose Italy for buying, simply too expansive the shipping cost to out Italy.

Doesn't Bluestar in Canada offer something for the 6K? I like mine on the UMP 4.6K.

No, an iGPU is not enough, and you can't use HEVC 10 bit 4:2:2 in the free version.

Stephen, just a heads up, once you get a replacement eyecup its good to gaffer tape it to the viewfinder. Otherwise it is lost on the next shoot.

Uli, I use the Bluestar Oval Ultra Small Eyecushion #6009 Ultrasuede over the bigger eyecup on P6K viewfinder and it works great. Cinegear.nl was kind to send it in an envelope to Finland, 10 euros total. One of the better investments.
