Description
BlueStar Blackmagic Special Use Round Eyecushion #3066
Replaces the standard Blackmagic rubber eyecup (previously sold as #6066). It fits snugly around the eyepiece diopter itself, bringing your eye slightly closer to the display for a more open view. Its position is not affected when you adjust the diopter.
Please note: this is a soft eyecushion that fits around your camera's eyepiece in place of the rubber eyecup. It is not an eyepiece or viewfinder itself.
Why BlueStar?
BlueStar eyecushions have been a favourite of camera operators on film and TV sets around the world since 1984. Every one is handmade and individually inspected in Toronto, Canada, so you get a consistent, well-finished cushion every time.
-
All-day comfort: a soft, cushioned facing between your eye and a hard rubber eyecup makes long days on the eyepiece far more comfortable.
-
Hygienic: your own washable cover means you are not sharing an eyecup with every operator who has used the camera before you. Ideal for rental and shared kit.
-
Absorbs sweat: soaks up moisture so it stays off your eye and away from the eyepiece.
-
Protects the eyecup: keeps skin oils, make-up and sun cream off the camera's rubber eyecup.
-
Quick to fit: stretches over the eyecup in seconds and comes off easily for washing.
Size: Stretch-fit rubber backing that grips the eyepiece diopter
Compatible with:
-
Blackmagic Design: URSA Viewfinder and similar eyepieces
-
Sony: FS7, replacing the standard rubber eyecup (take care when fitting)
-
PortKeys: LEYE viewfinder (remove the supplied hook-and-loop pad first)
Check the fit before ordering: camera compatibility is a guide only, based on the manufacturer's sizing information, and a fit cannot be guaranteed. Eyecups vary between camera versions and accessories, so please measure your eyecup and check it against the size above. Can't find your camera, or not sure which size you need? See our BlueStar Eyecushion Size Guide or contact us.
Returns: for hygiene reasons, eyecushions cannot be returned once the packaging has been opened, including if they have been tried on a camera and do not fit. Each eyecushion comes in a clear pack, so please hold the sealed pack up to your eyecup to check the size before opening. See our returns policy.
Fitting: To fit: 1. Remove the standard rubber eyecup. 2. Stretch the rubber backing around the eyepiece diopter; the fit is deliberately tight. 3. Work the backing round until it sits evenly all the way around.
Available options:
- Genuine Chamois
- Ultrasuede: Black, Blue, Orange, Red
Genuine Chamois: natural oil-tanned chamois leather. Highly absorbent and moulds to the shape of the eyecup. Available in natural colour only; brush lightly after washing to restore softness. As chamois is a natural product, colour, texture and markings vary slightly from piece to piece, so yours may differ a little from the image.
Ultrasuede: a soft non-woven microfibre with a suede-like feel and good moisture absorption. Suitable for use in any climate and available in a wide choice of colours and prints.
Care: hand wash gently in lukewarm water and pat dry. Hot water or frequent washing may cause the facing to separate, so we recommend keeping a spare to swap in while one is being washed. For hygiene, eyecushions are for personal use only.
