Macgyver'd Hatcam Viewfinder
What you will need:
1) Binder clip
1) Large Paper Clip
1) Long nerve for adjusting and sighting it.
First, Straighten 3/4th of the paper clip, leaving one bend for attaching it.
Take the end of the straightened section, and curl it around a pencil.
Then take a pair of pliers and bend the circle at a 90 degree angle.
Now attach the binder clip to the brim (centered) of your Hatcam.
Place the bent end of the paper clip under the binder clip - (I only put the short side of the bend under the clip so that it can rotate up out of my view if I want.)
Now, its a matter of sighting it in with some minor adjustments of up and down.
Find a spot to call center and put the viewfinder's circle over it. Now record, call center, and check the playback.
Once you see where your ' center' was, adjust accordingly. If you have any experience sighting a gun in, it's the same way - adjust the opposite axis' for where your aiming.
There it is, once you complete you 'Macgyver'd Hatcam Viewfinder' - you can have the confidence of getting that perfect jumping fish on camera and centered.
