Display viewfinder adapter for Shoulder Rig by MarcusWolschon

I am using a 3" 4:3 "Digifinder" display-viewfinder on my Panasonic GH-1 but found that:
a) The way to mount it with a rubber band is ****
and
b) I can't see the edges of the screen where battery-level and other important information is shown
This adapter fits perfectly onto the screen of a GH-1, GH-2, FZ100, ... camera and can be attached and detached without any rubber band chaos.
It allows to mount the digifinder at a longer distance and thus see more of the display.
There is even enough room in the visible area to drill some holes and insert micro-LEDs as indicators for e.g. audio-level warnings or to have some feedback that the audio recorder is actually recording at the moment.
Feel free to adapt this to other cameras (e.g. the Canon 60D).
You can use the free 30 day trial of Alibre Design, just change the camera-specific parameters and export as STL.
