content: Nice and clean buildI didn't know there are LCD viewfinders available that had analog video in. The ones I knew from the "DV"-era were all digital.Is the digital potentiometer used for setting the gain (=brightness?) of the viewfinder?

content: The thermal imaging module was bought several years ago. Recently, I looked for the presence of similar modules. Available only with a wide viewing angle. This module has a viewing angle of 17 degrees. You need to pay attention to the viewing angle when buying. I had experience manufacturing a thermal imager from a 2000AS module. You can look at the resulthttps://youtu.be/Z5ocJQ6wmo8
