We have the designs for ENG-like diopter module but the mounting options for different cameras and screens are overwhelming. We can have interchangeable "skits" system but it's still doubtful.
Will see what the NAB brings.
More designs to explore and verify - diopter adjustment must feel natural and fast - else the inherit human diopter accommodation for slow diopter adjustment will cause discomfort - you just might get used to a little bit wrong setting as the time it takes to adjust the mechanical diopter correction might be too slow therefore the eyes accomodate to the false diopter setting that at the time seemed right.

Movietube PR
At last we got the Movietube PR.
After seeing one at IBC 2009 I fell in love with it: the only real camera-like rig for DSLRs
Big bulky and a bit uncomfortable. No way you could use it on left shoulder.
Our home made Aaton-style handgrip turns it into an ENG camera, almost.
Got 501, 601 and a 701 viewfinder off the eBay.
Only modified the Sony 701 CRT viewfinder. Still not that good.
All the options for an electronic viewfinder are either second hand or crazy expensive, well, relatively.
On a side note: Not surprisingly the older viewfinders are of a better build quality and much more complicated mechanically.
