Horizon Display Adapter for Viewfinders
~Helps users in keeping handheld cameras horizontally level!~

As TV displays become larger, maintaining the camera in a horizontally level position during filming has become even more critical to producing high-quality programs. NHK thus developed a horizon display adapter for viewfinders. This device can be attached to existing handheld video cameras. By using this device, camera operators can avoid tilting the camera when filming, even during scenes where it is difficult to see the horizon, such as on sloping ground.
