Bright Tangerine’s Touch Loupe adapter offers a compact and practical solution for Sony BURANO users. The adapter allows a clear view of the LCD screen while maintaining a sleek, compact design. One of the standout features is the hidden flap, suggested by Sony Ambassador and trainer, Alister Chapman. This feature enables operators to use the screen without needing to lift the loupe, enhancing ease of use in the field.
Classic Straight Viewfinder Loupe
Easily transform the 90-degree Sony BURANO Loupe into a straight viewfinder for a more familiar experience. No need to rotate the loupe or yourself to view the screen, allowing you to maintain focus on the composition.
Reduced Form Factor
The adapter reduces the overall size of the loupe compared to the standard 90-degree model, minimizing collisions with accessories like matte boxes. This adjustment improves user experience and positions the screen optimally for handheld use, enhancing comfort and flexibility during shooting sessions.
No Hands in Frame
The 90-degree loupe positions the shortcut buttons more forward, increasing the likelihood of your hand appearing in the shot while using them.
Concealed Touch Access Port
Made from soft silicone rubber material, the access port guarantees comfortable screen access even with the loupe closed. The flexible rubber hangs down to reduce obstruction, ensuring a complete light seal when the loupe is not in use.
Hands-Free Hold & Faster Slide Lock
Adjust the loupe’s tension precisely by turning the pre-tension knob to your liking, either tightening or loosening to modify the friction on the loupe’s tilt.
We’ve replaced the spring-loaded lock with a sliding mechanism, eliminating the need to press the lock each time you lift the loupe. To secure the loupe, just slide the lock.
No Light Leaks
The Touch Loupe includes a set of adhesive foam strips for a complete light seal, this prevents your eyes from continuously adjusting to bright light, ensuring a more comfortable experience.
The complete light seal also improves screen contrast, allowing for true color representation and clearer images.
Reduced Burn-In Risk
Reduce the risk of burn-in from high magnification with the compact design. The loupe maintains compatibility with 52mm diopters for users seeking visual enhancement.
Eco-Friendly Construction
Constructed using 25% recycled plastic, the Straight Viewfinder Adapter exemplifies our dedication to sustainability and waste reduction, all while delivering a sturdy construction.
The mounting points for the optics have been strengthened and are now made of metal, ensuring a robust and secure fit.
A simple Sony BURANO Upgrade
The Touch Loupe Adapter seamlessly combines with the stock monitor mount to elevate the viewing experience. Discover our full selection of monitor support systems for unmatched convenience, comfort, and performance, tailored to meet the requirements of filmmakers and cinematographers.
Installation
To install the Touch Loupe Adapter, begin by detaching the 90-degree adapter from the Sony BURANO loupe. Use a T8 driver to unscrew the four screws securing the adapter.
Insert the straight adapter, ensuring alignment of the four notches, and secure it in place using the same screws.
To install the light seal, peel the adhesive backing and attach the four pieces to around the raised edge of the LCD screen.
Diopter Correction Range
Compared to the stock Sony 90-degree loupe, the Touch Loupe is more compact, resulting in a shorter optical path from the optics to the screen. This design shifts the diopter correction range.
For users who require prescription glasses or contact lenses, the available correction range might not be sufficient. To address this limitation, we recommend adding a +1, 52mm screw-in diopter.
