Zacuto Z-EVF-1S EVF Snap
The Zacuto Z-EVF-1S EVF Snap is a 3.2” high resolution monitor, compatible with the Z-finder view finder series and displays images at a resolution up to 800 x 480. Allowing you to operate with any camera with HDMI output, it attaches firmly to the HDMI port on the camera. It allows you to operate your DSLRs with correct form factor for video. With 2 class “A" HDMI ports, the EVF Snap supports loop through to another monitor or device.
With exposure assist feature, the EVF allows you set 2 separate IRE levels for displaying images. With focus assist (peaking), it enhances edge sharpening, which allows the object in focus to stand out. Featuring a blue only mode, the monitor assists in calibration by providing the ability to view SMTPE color bars.
The EVF Snap monitor supports viewing of anamorphic images produced by anamorphic lenses and has frame line generators that include 1.33:1 (4x3), 1.66:1 (15x9), 1.78:1 (16x9), 1.85:1 (35mm theatrical), 2.35:1 (Cinemascope), and a "rule of thirds" grid aspect ratio frame lines. You can manually scale images or even recall presets from the camera, and control over brightness and contrast for a clear and precise display.
Displaying the level of audio being recorded via audio meters, the EVF Snap has a battery level indicator that gives you an indication of the charge available in the battery. It has 3 assignable function buttons and provides live preview while changing menu items, which results in effective operation.

Nice image, but it introduces an additional 2-frame delay to the HDMI output of my Sony FS100 (which is already 3 frames late).

Comments about Zacuto Z-EVF-1S EVF Snap:
As a wedding videographer we use a video slider with our DSLRs but in order to get low angle shots we had to kneel down and just guess the speed and focus. With the EVF we no longer have to do any guessing work. This is the best high resolution monitor and it's super easy to use and setup.
The preloaded screen settings for the cameras are great and the high resolution screen makes it extremely easy to check the focus, shutter speed and aperture. And it's great that the zacuto eyecup fits perfectly.
Only down side is the hotshoe mount that's provided with the EVF. It tends to get a bit loose while you're using it. We haven't had it fall of yet but it would be a heartbreaker if it did.
Overall, GREAT monitor for the HDSLR!!!

Comments about Zacuto Z-EVF-1S EVF Snap:
I just used it on a shoot and was impressed with how much it has helped improve my handling of my rig. Being able to move the EVF to the my eye without moving the camera is a great help.
