Hannes Famira Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 I am using an Alphatron EVF. When I am operating shoulder mount and break into sweat the diopter fogs up and it's basically impossible to work that way. Any advice would be great. Thanks!

Robin R Probyn Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Zacuto make a antifog disc .. just fit it inside the rubber eye cup.. they last a good few months .. B&H have them too.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannes Famira Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 Thank you Robin, while this looks like a great product I am not sure it will work in my Alphatron. Has anyone tried anti-fog sprays? I am reading wildly different reviews on Amazon and I am reluctant to spray any of this stuff on my EVF without having someone here confirm that I won't ruin the diopter and that it actually works.

Giray Izcan Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 How about a eyepiece cup heater unit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannes Famira Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 I have no experience with these. Are they somehow standardized? I am interested to learn more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried the anti-fog fluid a few times and it didn’t work for me. One solution would be to punch a small hole in the rubber eyecup, insert and secure a short bit of tubing, and use the tube to suck out the warm moist air.

Hannes Famira Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 How about a eyepiece cup heater unit? There is a Denz heated eye cup on eBay https://ebay.us/YmBWKC I wonder if I could somehow have that fitted to my (more budget friendly) Alphatron. Or is there a lens it these?

Giray Izcan Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 (edited) Heated eye cup is a standard equipment at least with film cameras but you could swap the cable to fit your needs to d-tap for example to power up the unit but i do not know they natively make heated eye cups for your evf.
