Fourteen The INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER July, 1929 D^ew zJtfitchell^Jiew ffinder Support In line with the policy of the Mitchell Camera Corporation of constantly developing new devices and attachments as the need requires, they have designed and are building a View Finder Support for the rear of their Erect Image View Finder. On account of the close quarters the cameraman is forced to work in, the present day sound booths, it frequently happens that the finder is jammed while in position, thereby throwing it out of line and making the registration of the mattes incorrect. A place is provided for a footage scale, enabling the operator to instantly bring the finder back to a positive position. This scale is at the rear, in plain sight, and may be noted on the accompanying cut. In removing the finder from the camera, or in swinging the finder away from the camera while opening the camera door, a slight pull at the base of the support will release it from the camera, where it is held in place by a ball and socket arrangement. While the camera door is opened to load, or to inspect, the support may be released at the base, thereby never disturbing the set position of the finder, and it will always be brought back to the same exact position. The Mitchell Camera Corporation is in position to make immediate deliveries of this support at this time, at a very moderate price. ACTUAL SIZE Or SUPPORT
