    @defty56 That was just a d200 for demo purposes.

    Thanks for review. It’s possible to put together a Merlin steadicam
    substitute for $30 – $50 using a skateboard bearing in a torch handle
    and… just check out WSCLATER and gxasER ‘s results, not very pro looking
    tech wise but the results are stunning and with the money saved you can buy
    a really nice prime lens. With the Hoodman and variants, I doubt it would
    be easy to make one and I’m with JaredPolin and filmriot on its
    considerable usefulness. Enjoy your shows.

    most cameras nowadays have a manual focus assist function that magnifies
    the image 5-15x. much better and cheaper than this. this isnt even sturdy
    enough to be a support and would be incredibly akward to use unless youre a
    pro

    @JaredPolin Hey Bro Gm…. dude check the video reviews this this is Steady
    as a Benz doing 120mph though its a pain that each lens u use needs to be
    reweighed but i must admit its a pain in the rear end

    @Dombowerphoto Ha, thats a cool trick, thanks Dom. I am right dominant and
    find it nearly impossible to shoot with my left eye. I always though people
    who used their left eye were just crazy, but now i see thats not the case 🙂

    @Bader88 I own the steady cam merlin its 800 and i hate it lol. So
    impossible to get sturdy.

    @JaredPolin Yeah ,I’m sure it’ll do the job ,but the low pixel count screen
    ,magnified ,is going to look rather choppy. Or maybe I’m wrong ,but I’
    seeing this like a magnifying glass in front of my screen ,tried it right
    now on my D5000 and it’s not great. But maybe that has better glass for
    magnification. You should try it on the D3100 ,or your D3000 just for a
    comparison.

    @JogBird its a time thing, and i want to see the full image most of the
    times when trying to do video to see faming and focus. I already have my
    camera set to zoom in on still images to check focus but this loupe helps
    as well.

    @Convertape When I shoot baseball I can still peak with my right eye to see
    when the pitcher goes into his motion.

    @LordMaxJa I dont see why it would look bad. I am sure its not as nice as
    the d3s screens or high end canon ones but it will still get the job done.
