Fleece Eye Cushion ~
Fleece — Provides a high level of softness and the highest comfort level while shooting in cold weather while enhancing light blockage.
Available in a multitude of colors.
Bluestar Fleece is naturally moisture wicking and 100% synthetic. Bluestar recommend using their Fleece Eyecushions when shooting in cool and cold climates, but some operators have successfully used their Fleece Eyecushions year round.
A new eyecup cushion model crafted from
microfiber synthetic leather
has been added to Bluestar's line for those seeking an alternative. Whether you opt for the oil-tanned chamois or the synthetic leather models, these eye cushions give maximum absorbency, making them perfect for the camera operator working on a hot set or in a hot location.
Each eye cushion is individually sealed in a plastic bag ensuring absolute cleanliness and sanitation until it is put on the camera. Bluestar eye cushions are welded rather than stitched, thereby providing increased comfort around your eye. Furthermore, unlike other eye cushions, Bluestar's extra-thick foam backing provides an excellent light seal with even the gentlest eye pressure. When gently stretched, the cushion's flexible construction conforms to fit snugly and securely around both circular and oval viewfinder eyecups.

Q & A
1. Which Eyecushion is best for cold climate use?
For cold climate use, fleece and microfiber can both be used. However, our cold climate choice is fleece since it has a warm feel against the face.
2. How long can an Eyecushion be used for?
It’s very important to change the operator’s Eyecushion frequently to avoid the possibility of a disastrous eye infection (such as Pinkeye). As a rule of thumb, put on a new Eyecushion twice per day. If someone other than the Camera Operator is pressing their eye against the Eyecushion, change it more often. If you’re shooting in a hot, humid environment, you may also need to change it more frequently. Even if the Eyecushion appears to be clean after a half day of shooting, it certainly is not. Please don't compromise the Camera Operator’s well being!
3. What is Chamois?
Bluestar chamois is natural oil-tanned sheepskin which we import from England. We use English Chamois exclusively because of the manufacturing standard, cleanliness and superior absorption. Please be aware of counterfeit chamois which cannot guarantee cleanliness, health safety and quality. More about chamois:
http://chamoisinstitute.org/Brochure/brochure.html
4. What is Ultrasuede® Microfiber?
The microfiber we offer is an extremely soft, synthetic material that has excellent sweat-absorption qualities. Our top-quality microfiber is manufactured in Japan and is colorfast, meaning that the dye will not run.
5. Can Eyecushions be washed?
Eyecushions can be washed, but we do not recommend it. Eyecushions are designed for one-time-use given that that they protect the Camera Operator's eye from dirt and infections and provide superior comfort. One should always have a fresh, new Bluestar Eyecushion on the eyecup when shooting - but limited washing of used eyecushions is always preferred to re-using a soiled eyecushion. However, please note that hand or machine washing an eyecushion with soap or detergent may compromise quality: chamois often becomes hard and brittle, washing may distort the eyecushion, and our excellent adhesive's holding power which bonds the foam to the soft eyecushion 'face' could be affected.
6. Where are Bluestar Eyecushions made?
Every Bluestar Eyecushion is made in Toronto, Ontario, Canada under close supervision of the Bluestar Team.
7. How do I know which Bluestar Eyecushion fits which camera?
