Video connection is via SDI or HDMI sockets on the rear of the monitor. Mounting is via a special bracket that attaches to the EVF and allows it to be fixed to ARRI rosettes, magic arms, 15mm rods or NATO type rails. The Sidefinder can be powered from Canon LPE-6 type batteries, by DC or via D-tap using an adapter. These make for easier viewing while shooting in RAW, Log or flat images in camera.

Thankfully, SmallHD have done this by creating a small remote whicha will attach near your handgrip or trigger and allow control of the main focus and exposure tools.ģD Lookup tables (LUTs) can be applied to Log or flat images on the monitor. One feature I have been lobbying for on all EVFs is the ability to remote control the functions – especially magnification for focus. Interestingly, SmallHD says it offers a way of adjusting the field of view from 20 degree to 40 degrees so that the image can appear larger or smaller in your vision, according to your preference. The loupe of the EVF has a wide diopter range and should suit most users.

Being able to use the monitor function is great for changing camera settings or during long interviews where you don’t want to keep your eye up to an EVF the whole time. This is a bit like the display on Sony’s 3.5 inch DVF-元50 EVF for the F5 and F55, only larger. The added benefit of doing so is that the screen can be flipped out away from the eyepiece at any time and used as a monitor.

This is still much higher resolution than most other EVFs. To do so without making the loupe bigger and more bulky – like the F&V Spectra for instance – SmallHD have chosen to just use just a 1366×768 portion of that display to create a crisp, clear image. The Sidefinder takes the 502 and transforms it into an EVF by adding a loupe onto it sideways.
