SmallHD Camera Control Kit Reviews

Works great but one glitch

By Steve

Works great, like having a dedicated RED monitor. Only glitch is that through the USB/serial port there is a few second delay for the record indication to light up. Small HD told me its due to REDs older usb connection. The work around is to add a SDI overlay and you can add a record indicator which shows up immediately.

Essential piece of kit

I often run my Alexa Mini solo, and having this installed on my SmallHD Cine 7 allows me to get rid of the original Arri viewfinder/monitor and related rods/mounts. The weight savings are significant - it definitely makes handheld shooting easier. And even when the camera is locked-off, being able to look at my monitor and change settings with the touchscreen makes things effortless. I was on the fence about it: My two concerns were how responsive the screen would be, and if I would have to connect/reconnect after each powerdown. I shouldn't have worried. The screen is super responsive and navigation/operation is as easy as SmallHD's PageOS. And once the control kit is set up, it reconnects automatically every time I power up the camera without me having to do anything. All in all, an expensive upgrade, but the time and weight savings are well worth it.

Does this work on the SmallHD Focus Pro Monitor? (the 720p LCD version). If not, what package will work?
Asked by: Josh
I'm sorry to say that the SmallHD Camera Control Kit for RED RCP2 Cameras (Indie 5) would only support the Indie 5 and not the focus pro. The focus pro does not offer support for camera control functions. Only the Indie 5/7, Cine and the new Ultra 5.
