  • 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 :)

Zacuto Gratical EVF Group Buy

Stacey Spears said:
Chris, how is the FOV on the EVF? Have you used the Bomb EVF before? When I look through it, the image seems far away. How does it seem/feel/look through the Zacuto? Hope my question makes sense.

I've used both, and I much prefer the Gratical. The image from the Gratical isn't crazy large, but the resolution is there for accurate focus. Color accuracy is BIG too, which you never really got from a Bomb as it was milky and just not pleasing.

You get all the professional tools like histogram, focus peaking, waveforms, etc. When you have the waveforms/vectors active, your camera feed sits above or below the tools. When you have them disabled, it's just your image in the dead center, which is nice if you don't need/want the tools.

This also works with essentially any camera, so you buy an EVF that ages with your camera, not one that is camera specific. :-)
 
Chris,

Do you know (or can you find out) if the eyepiece rubber is strong enough and compatible with eyepiece chamois?

Thanks

Hey Brian...i have the new Gratical eyepiece rubber (for my old zacuto EVF) and it is strong enough for the Bluestar chamois, however the new flap thing which closes when you remove your eye is now rendered useless, risking sunburn for your evf. So for now its an either or situation. I asked them to see if they could design something that will work with the chamois and the eyepiece flap. Who knows if they will do it. I hate using it without the chamois ...but for now you'll have to choose.

Yes, the auto-eye cup closer doesn't really work well with the chamois as it can no longer close with the chamois on. Maybe Zacuto will come out with one that works for it and has enough clearance to close.

Everyone else has been added to the list and code sent!
 
Ordered mine yesterday and its on its way. Just wanna say thanks for setting this up Chris. I personally shoot on a BMCC and soon the Ursa mini. But I do shoot on RED (rented) every now and then. Great to have a high quality EVF that can go from camera to camera

No problem Darren. I'm glad so many of us were able to save A LOT! :thumbsup:
 
Ordered 2nd may with fs7 recoil. Haven't shipped. Was hoping to get it in time for my shoot this coming week. Now I have to rent.....
