I bought the Mini Directors Viewfinder for my daughter for one of her Christmas presents.
We researched viewfinders for a few weeks and found that this model was the best fit for my daughter's workflow, as it needed to be high quality but compact and easy to carry and within my budget.
In my opinion the best viewfinder is simply always going to be, the one you have with you when you need it.

question
How far is it accurate for the Red Deagon camera while shooting on 6k or a 4k? Is it really helpful using this?
Asked by: Anonymous
Products like this are very helpful for directors to visualize shots. It offers 35mm at focal lengths from 18-200mm and Anamorphic between 30-400mm. It should be a big help when shooting a film with a Red Dragon.
