Hello Andrea, I am a small company that for the last 1 1/2 years have been designing and testing some very unique products, I have been selling the worlds first soft rubber Eyecup for both of the Sony A7/A7R/A7S series and the newer A7II/A7RII/A7SII/A77MII cameras.
Since I am a small company and would like you to post letting other Sony users about what I have for the Sony cameras, all of my products came from my need to improve and enhance the usage of the small Sony cameras and my first problem was with having large fingers and wearing gloves when it was below zero and taking pictures also in the night for Astrophotography was using the small Sony buttons and so I design my Button Enhancers to help when working with the small buttons. I also designed my Lens Release Mount & Lens Mounting Button Enhancer System and this allows me to release and mount any lens or Ext tube or the Samyang & Rokinon lenses are very hard to mount in low or in the dark.

Not to sound negative, but those “button enhancers” look just like the regular clear rubber self-adhesive pads/feet, at 20x the price.
I’ll pass. I could get the eye cup at B&H for less.
give the guy a break. there isn’t a product that does what he sells until the hoodman eyecup gets released (which has been a long wait). the eyecup is a no brainer if you shoot in the sun. bh doesn’t make anything else thats the same.
Do you have fat fingers? Tired of generally mashing your knuckles into the camera – trying to find buttons? Missing those shots because “ol’ fatty fingers” can reach the button release?
Then these small bits of clear plastic are for you!!!! Yes they are clear, yes they are self-adhesive, yes you will stick them all over your fat fingers because you can’t reach the buttons anyway!!!
Each one is only $24.95 & you can already get them elsewhere.
Sorry I will stop there (& no I don’t want to be nasty – but couldn’t help being a little bit sarcastic).
That video button will give more issues than not unless your camera is mounted to a rig most of the time – you’ll just keep bumping into it and recording junk on accident. The placement of the button is the biggest flop on the design for A7… still can’t believe they haven’t moved that $hit on Mk2 bodies.
The eye cup is a must, though… but look to be all sold out. Guess I’m waiting for that Hoodman to come back in stock at B&H…
That eyepiece looks ok. The rest are just “Ikea kitchen cabinet bumpers”
Your right, tiny silicone bumpers can be brought anywhere in the world at most supermarkets and dollar stores for pennys.
The eyecup can be found on Amazon for $7. He’s selling the exact same thing but for $16 more. Don’t believe this BS! It’s called the Altura Photo Rubber Eyepiece Eyecup
I just checked Amazon. I didn’t find any from that company for the Sony a7RII. Can you provide a link? I def want this.
I’m guessing he’s cobbling these things together using parts from other products.
But would it cover the a7RII sensor? So it would keep the screen off all the time?
dont supose anyones found it on chinese sites or ebay? cheapest is around £10 in the uk
It’s not labeled for Sony a7RII’s, you have to purchase the eyecups for “Canon Rebels” they fit just the same and it’s the exact some one he’s using, look at the pictures side by side.
None of these items are designed by the seller. They’re resale items at way more than what’s available elsewhere.
Seriously Andrea, this guy is a con artist. This post reflects poorly on your website.
Button enhancers? I’ve been putting these rubber furniture bumpons on my Panasonic and Sony cameras for years. It helps me to locate and choose the right control buttons on the camera when I shoot in the dark at night. You can buy a sheet of 300 “button enhancers” from Amazon for less than $9, or 3 cents apiece. Just make sure to get the 0.25-inch (6.4 mm) variety, which may be hard to find in your local hardware or furniture store. Any larger size will be too big.
It is like many said before. He sells this for up to 150 times the regular price (2 enhancers for 15 bucks).
This is by far the worst post on this site and makes the whole network just look less trustworthy…
Button enchancer? My IKEA-furniture is full of them.
Next he will probably sell a small pieces of gaffer tape as
a super high end (no cheap china sic!) “Hide-O-Matic” elements to cover sony logos…
Andrea why are you posting this crap?
Shhhh, don’t tell anybody!
Transparent Button enhancer is not for me.
Infact, i don’t like label on the button at all.
I would prefer glossy black or Shiny silver anyday.
Facepalm…
I’m having a hell of a time finding 5mm clear rubber adhesive bumpers online anywhere. Anyone got a link?
That’s a serious eyecup. I’d be afraid it will suck my eyeball out when I try to dislodge the camera from my face.
I bought this eyecup from this seller a few months ago, it works great & most important helps stabilize the camera a lot on my A7 for hand held (poor man’s ibis).
Wow… reading the headline, I was about to comment “This site should be at least 50% posts like this…” BOY was I wrong… I am sorry Christopher, I hope that you ARE a con artist–like others have suggested–for your sake. If not, and you are serious with this (a la the “Jump to CONCLUSIONS” Mat guy from Office Space”) and you’ve sunk a small fortune into producing these pathetic buttons… I feel sorry for you man.
Honestly Andrea, you really should be ashamed of this post appearing on your website. The categorization is misleading: this shouldn’t be posted in deals.
Damn, what a brilliant idea. If there are really folks that actually buy these button enhancers, I just have found the perfect side job to fund my A7Sii. I’m on my way to IKEA. See ya at ebay.
I bought one of the eyecups. Looks and feels exactly like an Altura, cheap, which can be had for about a third the price. Plus you get a free magic fiber cloth. I feel so ripped off.
