Z CAM EV101 Reviews

Want to fully love it, but...

There are a few issues, one that has been called out is the fact that the eyecup falls off all the time, I finally just taped it on. The larger issue is that I am having in burn ins, the first time I used it the screen got a small white burn in the display. A few shoots later it got a larger one and a few more uses, now there are three. It has a display shut off that I imagine was suppose to protect against it but it does not work.

solid build, great feature set

I was able to get a great deal on this when I pre-ordered if from B&H. In retrospect, I'd pay the full price if I had to. Lacking only HDMI or SDI pass through, this EVF has all the features I need. Some complain about the pixel resolution, but I find this sooooo much better than looking at a 5 or 7 monitor, especially in bright sunlight. The function buttons work very well, and many are user programmable. Being able to transmit video to an iPad make for a very affordable production monitor solution. I have looked at options from Zacuto and other companies, and I think the Z CAM EVF hits a sweet spot of great features and great price. The forthcoming IPMAN product ($150?) from Z CAM which will receive the WiFi from the EVF and allow me to send it to my production monitor. I believe this will allow me to send to both my iOS devices AND a production monitor.

Arri make heated eyepiece cups - may need separate battery power though. That would solve your problems here, whether or not it would fit is another thing.
