RED Scarlet EVF

[Rob Sholty]

I'm looking to pick up an EVF but I don't have the budget to get a bomb. I've been looking at the Alphatron, Cineroid, Zacuto, and Small HD. Lot's of pros and cons on both. Does anyone have any experience with any of them and can recommend a good unit. Any help would be appreicated. Thank you everyone.

I personally love the alphatron. The screen is amazing if you can handle the larger form factor. I don't leave home with out mine though, I was in the red store the other day and looked into the bomb evf and it felt really small, I wouldn't be able to use it for critical focus personally which I feel I can do with the alphatron.

My 2 cents.

Alphatron seems to have the highest resolution in comparison to other non-red EVFs.

960x640 vs. 800x480

Hey Rob,

I had a similar thread a few months back. May be of some use. http://www.reduser.net/forum/archive/index.php/t-94987.html

I went with the SmallHD incidentally. Good unit. Pretty big and heavy would be my only real gripe. But it's built really well.

Awesome. Thanks for the reply guys. I think I am leaning towards the Alphatron because of the SDI. The HDMI port on my Scarlet can be cumbersome. Sometimes HDMI won't read and I will have to turn off the camera just to get it to work. Never have had a problem with SDI though. The DP4 looks pretty awesome just wish it had SDI.
