While this SmallHD monitor/viewfinder option is no longer available for rent, here’s a link to our current selections.
The SmallHD Sidefinder with 502 HDMI / SDI 5" Monitor is a compact, multi-purpose monitor/viewfinder combo that’s perfect for on-camera and gimbal use. Key features include:
Dual Purpose Design. Have your cake and eat it too, with a great viewfinder that transforms into a great monitor in seconds!
High Resolution. This Full HD, 1920 × 1080 LCD monitor provides an extremely sharp image with a pixel density of 441 ppi. Despite being an LCD display, the 502 is able to produce 85% NTSC Color Gamut (greater than the REC. 709 color standard), rivaling the color capabilities of OLED technology.
Compact & Lightweight. This 5" monitor is just 3/4" thick and tips the scale at about 9 oz. pre-battery, making it perfect for small, lightweight rigs and gimbal use. It features three 1/4"-20 mounting points on the bottom, back, and right side, and we include a monitor arm, hot shoe mount and Redrock microMount depending on your needs.
HDMI / SDI. The 502 supports both HDMI and HD-SDI inputs and outputs, and cross converts between them. HD-SDI input and output max out at 1080 / 60i and 1080 / 30p in RGB/YCC 4:2:2 and 4:4:4. HDMI input and output max out at 1080 / 60p and supports 8/10/12 bit color. Audio is transferred through both HD-SDI and HDMI, with a 1/8" stereo out to monitor audio via headphones (not included).
3D LUTs. Can be applied to the monitor with the ability to still view your video in real-time.
Functionality. The highly configurable system allows you to save up to 8 presets which include focus aids, exposure aids, camera metadata and 3D LUTs. The menu system is easily navigated with the built-in joystick with quick-switching between presets. Please note that the Sidefinder covers the controls on the 502 itself so we include a wireless joystick remote to help you control the monitor. The unit is powered via two (included) hot-swappable Canon LP-E6 batteries.
