Sony FX6 Hoodman H32MB Loupe Adapter by jmone

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

This adapter allows you to mount a Hoodman H32MB Loupe to a Sony FX6. This very is easy to print and uses little material for a good result.
All you will need is:
Print the adapter
2 x O-Rings (20-25mm) or equivalent to mount it to the FX6 screen
2 x M3 25mm nuts/bolts or equivalent for the hinge
Tripod screw (1/4 20) to attach the Hoodman H32MB
There are a couple of "washers" in case you Tripod Screw is too long.
This is my first Loupe, so while I've nothing to compare it to, my first impressions are positive:
It is much better/clearer using the Loupe without my reading glasses than the Screen with reading glasses
Is firmly attached, and flips up
The adapter itself is only 15mm so a bit smaller then the stock FX6 sun shade
The loupe + adapter weighs 150g and their is no issue with FX6 screen drooping
Eye position does seems to matter else edges can be soft with chromatic aberration
I'm going to have to change my rig around about so that it falls more naturally to where my right eye is when using my "el cheapo" shoulder rig.
There is also a version that includes a replacement for the Hoodman main body making the whole setup even lighter - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4793634 .
