Cover That Red Window in STYLE

[KinoGrafx]

For anyone interested I’ve been putting these self-sticking webcam covers with flip-up lids on my BHF (and other cameras, like the duaflex pictured) to cover the red window. They fit perfectly over the Brownie Hawkeye’s window and don’t look DIY either!

If the link doesn’t work you can search “2 Pack Universal Webcam Cover, Desktop Computer External Webcam Lens Cover Shutter Cap Hood, Streaming Web Camera Privacy Cover Clip Compatible with Logitech HD Pro Webcam” and find several varieties of these large-sized webcam covers.

It looks a bit like a toilet seat.

Yes, but covers your ass regarding light leaks Ordered some on Ebay as Amazon won't deliver this in Europe.

I think it's fitting, since you open it for number 1 and number 2 .... but also numbers 3, 4, 5.....

Not on all cameras. I want one for my Voigtländer Superb. You only need to open it for number one... https://www.oddcameras.com/vogtlaender_superb.htm

Toilet seat or no toilet seat, it does work well!

My grandma always used an Elastoplast.

Maybe also as a shutter for a pinhole camera?

That's not really necessary though, is it?

Thanks for the tip! I bought 4 of them. Stuck one on a Duaflex IV and it works fairly well.

If I were to make these specifically for this purpose, I'd like it to be a little shallower and also snap shut.

But all-in-all a nice solve.

Thanks again!
