SmallHD EVF 501 Sidefinder with SmallHD 501 On-Camera Monitor

The SmallHD EVF 501 Sidefinder with SmallHD 501 On-Camera Monitor is a combination of optical loupe and SmallHD 501 HD on-camera monitor that creates a flexible, hi-resolution EVF that can quickly transform into a 5" on-camera monitor. The optical loupe mounts on the 501, which causes the 501 to resize the image from 1920 x 1080 to 1366 x 768. This keeps the loupe a reasonable size, while still presenting you with a clear image with sufficient pixel density that individual pixels are not visible when used as an EVF. The loupe incorporates diopter adjustment from -2 to +4, which is a generous adjustment range for those of us that do not have 20/20 vision. The loupe incorporates a 1/4"-20 threaded mounting hole and accepts optional mounting accessories.

The other component of the Sidefinder is Small HD's 502 HDM On-Camera Monitor with 3D LUT Support, which brings full HD resolution to an on-camera monitor the size of a smartphone. The screen packs 441 pixels per inch, providing a sharp clear image on such a small screen. It takes just 3 seconds to boot-up. The unit is 3/4" thick and weighs about 9 ounces, so it is light enough to mount to your camera without weighing you down.

Small HD has developed a menu system designed to be easy to navigate with the built-in joystick. Within the system is the Pages system, which allows you to create and store up to 8 preset configurations. You can easily see the effect of your configurations on the image, swiping between the configurations using the joystick. The 501 supports 3D LUTs, and you can save those as a configuration page as well. It is worth pointing out that you can apply a configuration page setting to either the monitor's screen, the output, or both at the same time. You can also assign a different configuration set up to the monitor's screen and the output.
