How To Build A POV Waist Level Viewfinder Rig
February 4, 2025As a follow up to my previous Hasselblad POV shooting video, I created a video guide to show you how to make your own POV waist level viewfinder video rig for your camera. You can use this with pretty much any camera that has a waist level viewfinder such as a Hasselblad, Mamiya RB/RZ67, etc. I’ve used this rig on my Hasselblad 503CX.
I’ve found this rig to work great with a smaller mirrorless camera and have also gotten great results with my iPhone!
All parts necessary for this rig build will be listed below or in the description of the YouTube video linked.
