I remember it, but I didn't realize it was that long ago. You just made me feel
old, because I remember seeing it when I had the *ist-D and counting back I
realized I got that 16 years ago.
It was marketed that the TV camera clipped onto the view-finder in place of the
eye-cup and when you held your camera overhead with a monopod, the little TV
screen could be clamped onto the monopod to put it at eye level (not snarking
this time).
IIRC, you used a long cable release to fire the shutter.
I thought about getting one, but IIRC they didn't have a version that would fit
onto the *ist-D eyepiece. Already back then Pentax wasn't being supported by
third party vendors.

Probably not, as there was a product that did that with a video camera and
tilting display that attached to the viewfinder on SLRs and DSLRs what about
10-15 years ago. It was the Z(something). I don't think they're still
available, or if they are, they're a more niche product than most.

I have missed several shots holding my camera overhead while shooting events,

So I was really hoping for a tilting LCD on the K-new.
I wonder if there is a market for something that’ll attach to the 1/4-20
thread in the base and will hold a mirror that can be angled to give a view of
the back screen.
I frequently used my tilt screen on my K-1, and if it ever comes back from
Precision, expect that I will again. the thing that is almost as frustrating
is how slow the response is when shooting in live view. Mirrorless cameras
can shoot without significant delay, and at a reasonable frame rate, it’d be
nice if Pentax could as well when operating in mirrorless mode.
