10 Reasons why I chose the Kameleon EVF
Kameleon Pro EVF
A Zacuto electronic viewfinder is the perfect accessory for a Next Generation Recoil Rig. Recoil rigs place the balance point of your rig, camera and lens directly over your shoulder for comfort and most importantly, perfect balance. This pushes focus and monitoring further forward, creating a lighter and shorter rig. Now you can shoot all day without getting fatigued. An EVF is ideal for use with any Recoil Rig. Positioned offset to the camera in a shoulder rig, or attached to a tripod, dolly, or crane, an electronic viewfinder will enhance the stability of any set up and offers better resolution and focus ability.
EVF Snap (DISCONTINUED)- The EVF snap is our standard electronic viewfinder that has the Zacuto Z-Finder Frame built into the unit. The Z-Finder Pro or Jr. snaps on and off the monitor. Therefore, you can use the monitor as a small onboard monitor or as an electronic viewfinder by itself.
EVF Flip (DISCONTINUED) - The EVF Flip has a Z-Finder frame built into the unit that can be flipped open to 180 degrees. You can also pop off the Z-Finder and use the electronic viewfinder as a monitor similar to the EVF Snap. You can use the Z-Finder Pro or Jr. on this model as well. This is essential when working handheld with a producer or director so you can show him the shot without having to have him get his eye in the viewfinder. You just flip up and he can see the shot.
Z-Finder EVF (DISCONTINUED) - This is a complete electronic viewfinder. It includes the EVF Snap model and an optical viewfinder, which will snap onto the frame on the monitor. The optical viewfinder contains high quality 2.5x optics with anti-fog shields. The anti-fog is extremely important for reducing fog. It does not have a diopter but will include the Zacuto Z-Finder Extender Frames. The Extender Frames will get the focus close but might not be exact as you can’t dial it in with a diopter, as you can with our Z-Finder Pro models.
Z-Finder EVF Pro (DISCONTINUED)– This is a complete electronic viewfinder with a diopter. It includes the EVF Flip model and an optical viewfinder, which will snap onto the frame on the monitor and can flip up 180 degrees. The optical viewfinder contains high quality 2.5x optics with anti-fog shields and a diopter. The anti-fog is extremely important for reducing fog. It will also include extender frames. The Z-Finder Extender Frames allow you to further adjust the focal point of the Z-Finder by semi-permanently stacking the frames via a snap fit on to the skirt of the Z-Finder until the LCD screen is in focus for you. If you want to be able to use your Z-Finder on your camera LCD screen, you will need to purchase the gorilla plate and frame separately. It is not included in this kit. All electronic viewfinders include a standard hotshoe EVF mount, HDMI cable, rechargeable battery, battery charger, lens cloth and protection case. Additional mounts will be available for purchase; the mount needed will depend on your shooting needs.
Our electronic viewfinder has the ability to auto scale, recall a built in camera preset, or create and recall a user-specific scaling preset. The first image is an example of what you would see from the video signal with a Canon 5D with monitors and electronic viewfinders without the auto scaling feature. The second image is the electronic viewfinder's auto scaling feature, in which the image is un-squeezed, if necessary and retains the pillar box crop. The third image is a camera specific preset that expands the image and utilizes the entire width and resolution of the display screen. Included are presets for all common DSLR cameras on the market. The fourth image shows the CREATE USER PRESET interface where users can scale and place the red (active video) line to show what they want to appear on the EVF screen. The green line is placed around the active 16x9 video signal so the EVF knows precisely where to place the frame lines in relation to the scaled video. The EVF can save and recall up to eight unique user presets.
Other EVF features include:
Audio/Video Loop Through Brightness & Contrast Adjustments- Changes can be saved on power down and return on power up. Settings can also be saved and recalled as presets.
