Good evening
Can anyone point me in the direction of sourcing a spare eyecup for the 4k lrf ? they are like hens teeth !!!!!
I thought i had found one on Hikmicroasssit.co.uk, paid for it etc and it never turned up. Been searching all over ever since.

I use the shuttered eye piece from Ant Supplies as follow on from stalking I will go foxing so it keeps my face from being lit up in the middle of a field.

All out of stock - design failure? If we are all losing them

Yep, crap design. My replacement (ordered when there was stock) now has a few tight wraps of electricians tape around it to stop it parting company.

Me too.
The Alpex’s are not built very well.
The eyepiece on mine is also secured with black insulating tape to stop it falling off and getting lost again.
Similarly the rubber pad over the controls is also secured with insulating tape to stop it falling off again.
