Description
BlueStar Oval Small Viewfinder Eyecushion #6011
A versatile oval eyecushion for mid-sized oval eyecups on broadcast cameras and LCD viewfinders.
Please note: this is a soft cover that fits over your camera's existing eyecup. It is not an eyecup, 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.

On the Sony FS7 and FX9 some operators find the Oval Small a little tight and prefer the Oval Large #6012. It also fits most ARRI eyecups but feels a little big; for ARRI the ARRI Special #3014, Oval Extra Small #6010 or Round Large #2012 are better fits.
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.

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.
Fleece: the softest and warmest facing, reducing cold transfer from the eyecup. Ideal for cold-weather shoots, though many operators use it year-round.
Printed designs: patterned and flag designs are cut individually from a larger printed sheet, so the section of the pattern on each eyecushion varies slightly and yours may not match the image exactly.
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.
