  • 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.

Ordered and confirmed ten days ago. Didn't get a tracking number but it arrived yesterday. No complaints and the it's everything I'd hoped it would be.
 
It took a little longer than expected to receive but I'm pleased with it. I think that the mounting system is about as cool as it gets.
 
Paid on the 15th (Asia time) shipped on the 18th, arrived on the 28th, using the Economic Worldwide shipping, $187.40 total price! The viewfinder is everything I hoped it would be. I was concerned because of a past experience buying a viewfinder with no diopter for a DSLR. But this unit works great even though I wear strong presciption glasses. Thanks Nicholas, great product!
 
Hello people,
I am very grateful for the comments ... has helped me a lot ..
I would like to sincerely apologize to people who are having small delays of 1 or 2 more days to get the product ..
I honestly do not know what is happening, sometimes the product stops in the custom house for up to 2 days ..
never happened before ...
I would also like to thank everyone who bought the viewfinder and believed in our work ...
Thank you all !

Ah, no problem here Nicholas, I figure the delivery would have arrived sooner if I had paid for faster shipping. Actually arrived sooner than I figured!

Hi Nicholas
I'm waiting on my $55 refund, which you promised to return yesterday. I hope to receive it soon.

Thanks
 
Thanks Nicholas, just got the payment. Great customer service!!!
 
I ordered mine on monday and it came today. I kind of gave up on the cinema oxide one as it seems to have fallen in to the abyss. The grid is perfect!

Thanks Nicholas.

Best, Peter

I borrowed a DP6 from prolifik films to test if a Grid 5.0 would work on it. There is some cropping of the outside edges if flushed to the monitor. The aspect ratio seems slightly different. It would be possible to use it, but you would have to rig a way to attach it. The magnetic piece that the viewfinder attaches to is smaller than the bezel on a DP6. You would see all the frame if you moved the viewfinder away from the monitor about 1/2 an inch, maybe less. Nicholas, you want to make us a piece for that?

how many MMs would need to be taken off the inside of the frame? looks like the adhesive frame could handle a couple of mms taken off in the inside- i could do this as i have a drill mill in my shed, but anymore i guess the magnets will fall out. is the inside dimensions of the actual hood larger than the frame?

i think by making the hood fit smallhd dp6 monitors would open your product to quite a lot larger market than just the red monitors. i want one , and I'm prepared to try and make it work with the dp6- but would love it if there was a proper fitting dp6 version made.

Go figure........

Unlike some other 5 inch viewfinders that are twice the price, I've been using my Grid viewfinder for the last 3 weeks.

Just received my GRID. Really nice build. Very happy with it. Shooting tomorrow.

I'm using it with my DP6 monitor. With a 1/2 inch lift it would be perfect. Any chance we can get an 1/2 inch lift ring Nicholas? Would be fantastic if possible.

Thanks for a great EVF GRID!
 
I've been using my grid as well very happy with it however very important to make sure you put the cap on it when out doors as it is easy to burn a hole somewhere and if your lucky the hole just sits on the menu line .Mayby a self closing eyepiece like the ones they had on the Genesis might work .
 
Hi Barry, there is size specs on the last link I put, the "Extra large round" seems, after conversion in centimeter, the closest from the Grid specs you gave me.
their "extra large round" is 3.375" Diam., hole size: 2".
The Grid is not actually round so I'm not sure it will fit but i think I will go for a try as I'm making a big order to them and want them to send me all in the same time as I'm living in Asia.
