Mattebox/sunshade options for Super8?

Post by **sooper8fan** » Thu May 12, 2005 2:19 am

I was just wondering if anybody knew of any mattebox/sunshade options that might be compatible with a Nikon R10. I found the following picture in the filmshooting.com picture gallery:

Does anybody know if it's easy to adapt something similar to my camera? Where can I get one? Thanks.

The Nikon R10 has the accessory shoe on top (for flash etc) if im not mistaken... Then this one MIGHT work.

Scroll down just a little to 'Ewa Kompendium'.

ItÃ‚Â´s made for a Nizo sound camera with the top acccessory shoe, but might work out of the box or be modified to work with your nikon.

Info on above "Ewa compendium" and good reading and more kompendium alternatives: (some pics dead, but links work)
