This competition is a fantastic way to do two of my favourite things, get a fantastic new piece of gear and also be fantastically creative! Those lovely Chicago based people Zacuto make some of the best camera accessories in the world. Their Gratical and Gratical Eye EVF are the best EVFs I have used. They are quite exceptional. You can read my review of the original Gratical here and the Eye here. What makes this EVF so special is the pin sharp image and rich features. The original Gratical HD is for SDI and HDMI and is powered via external power or a Canon 5D II battery. The Eye is much smaller, is SDI only and requires external power. You can see the eye below on my Sony FS5 powered via D-TAP out on my BP battery.
The micro-oled display has a clear 16:9 top part and bottom part for scopes so you can keep your image lovely and clear. Feature wise, the Eye is incredibly rich as you can see below.

The Eye will work with any camera with an SDI out, the Gratical X and HD with any camera with HDMI or SDI out.
Philip's "The Eye" Video
From Philip... 3 years ago I did an extremely literal film about the human eye which you can see below…so that idea is out the window (unless of course you can do something better which I am sure someone can!)4K: 576 Megapixels from Philip Bloom on Vimeo.
Have fun, filmmakers! See Philip's original post about this competition here.
