LCD viewer for Sony A7RII?

So I finally bit the bullet and purchased the Sony A7RII and so far, it has been awesome!

Coming from predominantly using a Mamiya 7 for many uses, Unfortunately I still cannot quite get used to the longer skinnier 3:2 format of modern digital cameras.. :(

Realise this is potentially a bit crazy but am thinking of adding a cropped black mask to the LCD and then adding a video viewfinder to the rear LCD...

Something like this...

I know this will add additional weight and clunkiness to the setup but I would really like to keep consistency within my work and this is the only way to do it with the current sensor size of 3:2.. I don't mind having a smaller file size as the 42mp of the Sony leaves plenty of room for cropping.. :)

Does anybody have any experience with using one of these for video (with Sony or other makes of camera) and in particular, does a small lightweight version exist?

Thanks!
