    Default Can this be an LCD Alternative? Video Glasses

    I was searching the web for cheap LCD monitors to add to my rig, and I came across this link: http://www.audio-outfitters.com/ezVision/ezVision.html, will this be an alternative for an LCD as an add-on to my HV40, Handy35 so I can focus properly?? Tell me what you think, because I want to buy it!

    PS> I know it wont flip the image, but I just want to use it for focus.

    I couldn't imagine working moreless blindfolded, This would be the biggest inconvenience to try to work on a set with other people. I think you would throw them on the floor in about five minutes. When blocking and setting focus, you need to be able to see more than just a monitor.

    I was thinking of using maybe one of the eye-pieces and convert it to a viewfinder. Not sure about resolution.

    iWear and ezVision, I saw those in a SkyMall mag many moons ago. Back then they were pretty low resolution 640x480, although last time I checked they were up to 1024x768. Not too great. With both eyes covered they'd be annoying. Although they boast of being equivalent to a 60' screen at 11' away. Or something like that.

    If you're shooting in 3D(two cameras), it might be the only way to monitor your results on location. Assuming they have independent screens yet. Perhaps useful if you shoot by yourself in nature and don't need to move while recording. Probably too problematic if trying to work well with others. Once they reach HD resoultion (1920x1080) (if they haven't already), I'll probably get a pair just to watch the results. And use as my primary LCD so I can work in bed. But at 1024x768, you can't even fit some Preferences windows in that space anymore on a computer.
