Fast reliable and in your pocket EVF. Perfect and portable. On major update is needed and that is image circle of the lenses to fit the format. Super 35 lenses seem to not vignette when pairing with a VV or full frame format.

Vielen Dank für deine Rezension! 🤗

Great on set framing app

My framing app of choice for set work. Intuitive, easy to use and very reliable.

Helped me visualize my film!

Excellent app, and especially appreciated it accommodated 16mm film/lenses! Was able to capture photo and video references during my tech scout. Posting a reel on IG about it now! @femmeregard

Field of view is not accurate AT ALL

The entire premise of ANY directors viewfinder is you get an accurate preview without hauling a camera around. The field of view on this is not accurate at all.

I prepped with the app, then on shoot day, we had to entirely change a shot because the camera couldn’t be on the process trailer. It had to be 3 feet further back to get the shot we wanted, which put us on the trailer hitch. Complete waste of money. Go with one that is industry standard if you actually have a film with budget.
