About Eyecushions

As the worldwide leader in the Camera Viewfinder Eyecushion market since 1984, Bluestar has become synonymous with Eyecup comfort around the world. 

All Bluestar Eyecushions are currently available in 3 types of facing materials, all carefully chosen for performance, safety and comfort.

1. Genuine Oil-Tanned English Chamois Leather
100% natural—our tried, tested and true facing material that remains unchanged since 1984.  Our Chamois provides a high level of softness for your face along with an extremely high perspiration absorption rate—absorbs six times its weight of water.  Available only in natural chamois colour.  Our Chamois is 100% natural-oil-tanned sheepskin leather to give you a uniquely luxurious, golden, soft finish. Our Chamois has a reputation for its high quality, and continues to be made using traditional methods to ensure high performance, safety durability. Our Chamois Eyecushions can be used in any climate and beautifully contours to the shape of your eyecup. If you wash your Chamois Eyecushion, you will have brush it to bring back the original softness.

2. Ultrasuede
Provides a high level of softness for your face along with a superior moisture absorption rate. Our Ultrasuede is a 100% non-woven material made of intertwined, brushed, ultra-fine fibre strands, which creates a uniquely soft and smooth texture, much like natural chamois and suede. We offer a multitude of Ultrasuede colours for you to choose from. Our Ultrasuede Eyecushions can be used in any climate and beautifully contours to the shape of your eyecup. 

3. Fleece
Provides a high level of softness and the highest comfort level while shooting in cold weather while enhancing light blockage.  The fluffy feel reduces the rate of heat transfer, making the material feel warmer in cold conditions. The effect can be described similarly to how a tile floor feels colder than carpet. Available in a multitude of colours.  We recommend using our Fleece Eyecushions when shooting in cool and cold climates, but some operators have successfully used our Fleece Eyecushions year round. 100% synthetic.

To Determine which Eyecushion fits your Eyecup, please use the Sizing Chart to find your camera.  Sort through the sizes until you find your camera model.  If your exact camera model is not listed, it's best to message us to confirm the fit.

ARRI Alexa, ARRI Mini, ARRI Amira, and Blackmagic URSA have nearly the same size rubber eyecup which fits various Bluestar Eyecushions. Typical styles that are used are: 
Oval Extra Small; Oval Small; Oval Large; Round Small; Round Large; Mid Round; ARRI Special.
If you are a new Bluestar Eyecushion user, having so many choices creates a lot of confusion when deciding which Eyecushion to use on ARRI and Blackmagic viewfinders. For the most custom fit, we recommend using our Oval Extra Small #6010 or ARRI Special #3014. While the comfort level of all our Eyecushions is nearly identical and any style can be argued to be the most comfortable, for ARRI and Blackmagic, our unique ARRI Special style #3014 is the easiest to attach and provides the most secure fit. Our Oval Extra Small #6010 is a more conventional style that also attaches easily and provides a secure fit. 
- If you prefer a non-directional round style that is also easy to attach, our Round Large #2012 is perfect.
- If you want a directional round style that fits a bit tighter, our Mid Round is perfect #7011. 
- If you want our most comfortable oval style with unique look and the most secure fit, our ARRI Special #3014 is perfect. 
- If you want an Oval that is easy to put on and feels great, our Oval Small #6011 is perfect. 
- If you want an Oval with a tighter fit, our Oval Extra Small #6010 is perfect.
