Red-EVF Compatibility

[CJ Roy]

Not sure if this has been covered, but I can't find it through searching.

Is the current RED-EVF compatible with the Epic(s) & Scarlet(s)?

Thanks.

Yes.

Correct, word is that the original EVF is fully compatible with Epic and Scarlet.

A few weeks ago on Red One I used a prototype of the new Bomb EVF on loan from RED for shoulder held shooting of the band Heart (with Allison Krause) in Seattle. The original EVF has been excellent, but this new Bomb EVF is seriously cool and capable - very lightweight, crisp, good contrast, etc.

With Epic and Scarlet, for anyone who does work requiring mobility, and needs to keep rig size and weight down, I highly recommend the new Bomb EVF. I have one on order, and can't wait to take delivery of it.

Hey there Steve....
you know if the new Bomb evf will use the same LEMO connectors? I've not seen much on the bomb at all, but thinking to bone up on some new EVF/LCD cables as extras...but would be nice to know if they will work with the new bomb.

thanks steve,
Johnny


EDIT: guess it would have to be if you can use with R1 or epic/scarlet ???

At Red Day I saw that the Bomb EVF worked on existing R1's, just wasn't sure if it worked vice versa.

Thanks guys.

Hey Johnny,

Yes I used a stock Red cable with double L Lemo connectors with the Bomb EVF prototype. The cable worked just fine...no problems. Though the Lemo connectors are the same, I'm guessing that Red will have several lengths of cables available for use on Epic and Scarlet, due to the smaller size of the Bomb, smaller size of rigs, and thus frequently shorter run of cable needed. Obviously all things are subject to change with Red.

I'm thinking this smaller Bomb EVF should also be really good for the underwater shooting you do - small size, excellent contrast, etc.

Hi Steve,

I didn't realise you could order them already? In the store you can't place an order (or even put down a deposit) anyway...

Hi Piers,

The old EVF is no longer produce, so they ship Bomb EVF in replacement.

Check with your Red rep.
