4SE + DSLR

[Coastliner]

Hi all,

I would like to connect my dslr to the back of the 4se with some kind of 45-degree prism to make viewing of the lcd easier. I already have the T-adapter which enables straight-through connectivity.

Can anyone recommend a device? Not mega - expensive!

Thanks,

Neil.

Do you mean something like this?

Can you borrow one first from someone local to make sure the setup works and still brings enough of the image you are after onto the sensor?

You can often find cheaper ones second hand, and 90 degree ones.

It would be easier to get a long USB lead and plug the 450 straight into the laptop , this allows you to do all the framing , focusing and capture remotely via EOSUtilities or APT/BYEOS without the need to squint at the rear screen at all ...

Thanks both, both suggestions are good - funnily enough I have just started playing with BYEOS. I have no Idea what APT is - Google time!
