Bluestar Large Oval Viewfinder Eyecushion
Bluestar's most popular all rounder. The large oval stretches over a wide range of professional video and cine eyecups, plus many external EVFs and loupes, for a soft seal that cuts stray light.
Comfort and a clean light seal
Genuine Bluestar eyecushions have been hand made in Toronto, Canada since 1984 and are used by camera operators on film, TV and broadcast productions worldwide.
- Soft facing over thick foam backing
- Blocks stray light around the eyepiece

Common questions
How do I know which size I need?
Check the shape (oval or round) and size of your eyecup against the fit guide. If you are unsure, email us your camera or viewfinder model and we will confirm it.
Do I need to remove the rubber eyecup?
No. The cushion stretches over your existing rubber eyecup.
Chamois, Ultrasuede or fleece?
Chamois is natural leather and very absorbent. Ultrasuede is a soft microfibre that suits any climate and comes in colours. Fleece is warm and best for cold conditions.
Why are they individually sealed?
Each cushion stays clean until it is fitted, so operators can start a job on a fresh cushion.
