From toy to tool: how to modify the PortKeys LEYE SDI into an AMAZING electronic viewfinder

// #Affordable EVFs are hard to find. Cheap models often dissatisfy with having a low resolution, bad image quality or they simply lack of #professional connectors. The #LEYE #SDI from #PortKeys is a competitively priced model that looked incredibly promising on the specs side, but turned out to have serious issues with it‘s eyepiece. A distorted, too small image stood in it‘s way to become a successful #viewfinder you can trust and like to work with when framing your images.  But as there are no real alternatives in the LEYE’s price range and it also showed a lot of #potential I gave it a closer look and found a #solution to #modify it and get the most out of it. Together with my friend Luca we designed an #adapter to swap the #eyepiece (that causes the issues) with the #Z-Finder from #Zacuto. The result is amazing, providing you an image that‘s twice as large as the #loupe from PortKeys delivers and it is also free of the distortions that made the original LEYE almost unusable under professional conditions. The #modification consists of two 3D models that you can easily #print with a #3D printer. // Download You can download the models on my website https://www.thorstenschoenrade.com/le... or on #Thingiverse for free: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:604... // Support us However we‘d be very happy for any donations to our project via Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/thorschon or PayPal https://www.paypal.me/thorschon Thank you very much for your support!  Best, Thorsten and Luca (Design by Thorsten Schönrade and Luca Oltenau) // Music tracks in this video Frédéric Chopin Waltz in B minor, Op. 69 no. 2 Performed by Olga Gurevich Public Domain Mark 1.0 Frédéric Chopin Waltz in A flat major 'Farewell', Op. 69 no. 1 Performed by Olga Gurevich Public Domain Mark 1.0 Frédéric Chopin Waltz in A minor, B. 150 Performed by Aya Higuchi Public Domain Mark 1.0 // Legal Disclosure/Impressum https://www.thorstenschoenrade.com/le...
