SmallHD Confirms Sidefinder Giveaway

SmallHD has announced a giveaway promotion for its Sidefinder Electronic Viewfinder.

Between 23 September and 9 October 2015, customers who purchase a SmallHD 501 or 502 5-inch monitor from SmallHD.com or a recognized dealer will receive a free Sidefinder Optical Loupe Accessory, valued at $300.

When paired with a 501 or 502 monitor, the Sidefinder Accessory is a high resolution (1366×768) electronic viewfinder and a high resolution (1920×1080) 5-inch, on-camera monitor all-in-one. The union between either of SmallHD's 500 Series Monitors and the custom-designed, professional EVF Loupe, offers all the benefits of using a field monitor and an EVF, without compromising speed, agility, or image quality.

The Sidefinder features a patent pending 'folded' shape that makes for a smaller footprint. It also offers a large, easy-to-view screen, and a shape that allows operators to slide the viewfinder close to the camera, adapting to any shooter's preferred eye position.

The Sidefinder can quickly change configurations, from through-the-loupe viewing to directly viewing the monitor when it's swung out from the loupe. A third mode allows the monitor to be detached from the camera and attached to a gimbal, slider, jib-arm, dolly or other camera support device. An included wireless remote can be attached to a tripod handle, camera rig or stabilizer in any location convenient to the operator, enabling full monitor and viewfinder control.

The 500 Series monitors are available in the 502 Model, featuring both SDI and HDMI input and output connectors. The 501 Model is for users who need only HDMI inputs and outputs. A recent firmware upgrade provides an enhanced toolset of features including HD Waveform, 3D LUTs (on-screen and embedded downstream), and HDMI/SDI cross conversion for the 502.

To receive the Sidefinder Accessory, the purchase of the 501 or 502 monitor must be completed by 11:59pm Eastern Daylight Time on 9 October 2015.
