Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. I bought one - when you turn the ring(s), the entire barrel spins so the whole frame rotates and throws off all the readings. Is this normal??

A: As I used this device for years, I should be of assistance. With the top, narrow ring, select the aspect ratio you are shooting in. Hold the viewfinder to your eye and rotate the lower, fatter ring to obtain the frame you wish. Then look at the scales on the outside of the barrel to ascertain the lens mm for the camera. For the highest accuracy possible, I suggest giving this to your camera assistant and have them test it for accuracy. They can make new index marks that match your camera and lenses if necessary.

Q: 5. Can the internal foam be adjust so that it compensates for the natural slope of the shoulder?

A: The Alan Gordon Enterprises Camera Comfort Cushion does have a zipper that could allow you to modify the foam. But the foam part of the cushion is what your camera sits on. After several uses, the inserts mold to the operator’s shoulder making it a perfect fit. Depending on personal comfort, each Cushion comes with a variety of inserts, which fit inside a zipper pocket.
