The Bluestar ARRI Special Eyecushion is the camera operator's answer to a long day at the eyepiece. Cut from genuine oil-tanned English chamois, this natural sheepskin cushion slips over the eyecup of ARRI cameras, including the ALEXA, ALEXA Mini, and AMIRA, and transforms hours of viewfinder time from a grind into something close to comfortable.
Operators and camera assistants know why chamois has never been replaced by synthetics at the eyepiece. The oil-tanned leather is exceptionally soft against skin, and its natural fibers absorb perspiration at a rate no foam or fabric matches, which matters enormously under hot lights, on summer exteriors, and inside crowded stages. That absorbency also keeps sweat from pooling between face and eyecup, reducing fogging and the constant micro-adjustments that pull an operator's attention from the frame. Bluestar's ARRI Special shape is tailored to ARRI eyecups specifically: it stretches on easily, seats securely, and stays put even when the camera is shouldered, brushed, or handed off between setups. Because eyecushions absorb sweat and makeup, they are rightly treated as a personal expendable, and many ACs put a fresh chamois on at the start of each job or for each operator as basic camera hygiene.
The natural, undyed finish looks right on a professional package, and at this price replacing it regularly is an easy call. Toss a spare in the front box so a soaked cushion never costs you a setup.
