WEAPON RED EVF or ZACUTO GRATICAL HD EVF for a RED EPIC DRAGON

[Marcos Montenegro]

Hey RUs. In the market for an EVF and these 2 are my options. Other than the printed specs, I don't know what features the WEAPON RED EVF will have or when it will actually ship (Nov '15 is the latest). I've played with the Zacuto Gratical HD recently and was impressed with what I saw.

What say you?

FWIW I have been using the Gractical for doc work. And the sharpness and clarity impressed me. Focus is very easy breezy with it and I have not missed once.

I can't speak for the Weapon one as it is a newbie. Main vote for Gractical for me was the non-proprietary connectivity.
I feel like things Weapon are being streamlined for Weapon - with a lemo adapter option for Dragon folks. Not SDI and HDMI as is the Gratical.
And unless you spend more for more I/O you don't want to be using your SDI out for a viewfinder on an EPIC.

So I would say if you are a working DP jumping from camera to camera Gratical is a solid choice. If you are gong Weapon well - I think the unified good looks of their viewfinder is hard to beat.
Depends where in the percentiles you are

Thanks for your input Tarquin. I'm not going Weapon anytime soon, so it makes sense to get something compatible with Dragon and any other camera. Looks like I'm gravitating towards the Gratical.
