  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Grid 5.0 viewfinder review.

Sometimes the postal international tracking is not updated immediately and may not even show up until the item is delivered.....just from experience.
 
Hi Nicholas, just want to bring this up again, because I´m a fan now: Your Viewfinder is one of the best third party item I purchased until today. The price point is just fantastic for such a quality . It just does what it should. I leave it on the LCD all the time. So happy I don´t have to put my glasses anymore to set focus.( I hope you will earn enough money with this to buy the RedRocket ).
Cheers
Marc
 
Just wanted to add my 2 cents since I received my GRID 5.0 VF today.

It is... awesome! For the money it is 10/10. It makes the LCD usable when the sun would otherwise be a big problem. It also significantly increases the viewing angle in general which makes it easier to pull focus etc. I am very happy with it.

However, it does have very noticeable pincushion distortion. It does not bother me so far but it could certainly bother someone else.

It also seems to lose focus toward the extreme corners. Maybe it is my eyes or indication a need for a diopter but I doubt it. In any case everything else is super crisp. Since it only affects a small area, and the least significant one at that, I dont consider it a major issue in any case.

Most importantly, for $149 it is an asbsolute steal.

Hi Nick,

Is it possible for you to make a frame for the old redone 5inch monitor, so one can also
use the GRID5 on the redone.

Please do comment.

Here are the exact dimensions of the 5inch redone monitor.
Height 95mm, Width 146mm. This monitor has a 5mm frame area
where the frame can be stuck, though the actual frame is 12mm.
I will upload a picture if it would be helpfull.

If you were interested in making an adapter to use the grid 5.0 on a smallhd dp6, the dimensions are as follows:

8cm x 12.5 cm are the inside dimensions of the bezel on the dp6. The bezel is 1cm thick vertically and 1.5cm thick horizontally. It is very slightly rounded.

I'm not sure if this is a perfect fit as the small HD screen is 1cm bigger around in each dimension than the Red touchscreen so you would be cropping .5 centimeters on each side if you mount it flat.

There may be a clever solution but you'd probably have to have a dp6 in your hands to work it out.

I do wish it would work though because the resolution difference is quite noticeable when a viewfinder is on it.

once again thanks for a great product.
 
Hey Nicholas

Your viewfinder arrived late last week, no problems great product. Far more viable than a lot of EVF solutions. I was searching around for one but not any longer. I reckon the only other things your product needs is back cover for the veiwfinder when unmounted & maybe some arri style eyepiece covers.

I like this product a lot !!!

Thanks regards from Australia . Mike

hi Mike,
let me see if i understand correctly ...
the back cover for the veiwfinder When unmounted, means a cover to not get dust in the viewfinder when unplugged ..? great idea!
I'll try to create a cover ...
but as to the eyepiece, I had already thought of that, I'm trying to develop one of these, but is not so simple as it seems, was trying to create a chamois leather, leather and rubber, but now I'm trying with neoprene ... let's see ...
 
@ Nicholas

Yes that's what I meant. Save dust from getting on the inside of the eyepiece when in storage or transit, which being down the enclosed end would be hard to get at & clean.
 
Finally I got to test mine and I have to say I am extremely pleased, I simply can not afford the Bomb EVF just yet, and this is definitely a very good piece of gear to assist when operating and focusing at the same time. Thank you Nicholas!
 
Same here. Ordered and paid 10 days ago. Nothing yet!
