Element Technica has expanded their Red One EVF line with a family of precision accessories that work together to support the camera’s electronic viewfinder. The EVF Deluxe Mounting System provides a secure interface capable of attaching to a variety of points on the Red One camera body or even to other accessories allowing four inches of vertical and six inches of telescoping adjustment along the viewfinder axis. The system’s rugged smooth-turning clutch lets the viewfinder be tilted to almost any angle. Once positioned the cine-style clutch holds the EVF securely in place regardless of the shooting conditions. What’s more it can be converted from left to right eye – or moved to the right side of the camera in seconds. All adjustments including clutch drag are tool free for quick set up even on the go. Now the new EVF Mount Extension works with the EVF Mounting System to add professional grade compatibility with a geared head and dolly. Attached to the system this handy accessory lengthens the distance between the clutch and the viewfinder. This lets the EVF maintain a constant tilt angle even during extreme tilting of the camera system. Installation is fast and tool free. It also works with Arri’s viewfinder leveling rod. Element’s telescopic EVF Eyepiece Leveler integrates elegantly with the EVF Mount Extension. The Leveler’s final telescoping stage is made of top-grade stainless steel to resist bending. It too is compatible with Arri viewfinder systems. Another problem-solver is the Element Technica EVF Button Guard. This easy-to-install guard protects against accidental operation of the RED One viewfinder’s buttons and rotary dial without hampering their regular use. RED One EVF accessories are precision machined from aircraft-grade anodized aluminum and are made in the USA. Pricing is $1190 for the EVF Deluxe Mounting System; $450 for the EVF Mount Extension; $425 for the EVF Eyepiece Leveler; and  $115 for the EVF Button Guard.
