Cyclops is a revolutionary viewfinder designed to accommodate a variety of LCD screens for DSLR and video cameras. It's remarkable design allows a filmmaker to achieve critical focus from as far away as 36". Unlike most viewfinders, Cyclops does not attach to the LCD with Velcro or tape. Instead, it uses a innovative mounting system to provide flexibility and stability during usage.
Cyclops kits come included with a "perfect-fit" riser plate to ensure accurate camera positioning when using the sled.
Features:
- Incredibly sharp 72mm optic that doubles as a +5 macro lens
- Fibre-reinforced composite sled
- Light eliminating rear and front hoods

Product Review by Randy Panado
"As I started using the Cyclops I immediately felt comfortable with using it. The macro glass effectively magnified the screen, and the image was crystal clear, plus it cut out all of the ambient light. I tested it outdoors in bright sunlight on my back and it still worked flawlessly."

"I recently tested the new Cyclops from Cinevate at a recent commercial shoot. The unit performed incredibly well. Good, crisp focus has always been an issue for me so this is a real treat. "

"We do 100% wedding films. I needed a way to ensure focus and to be able to handle the light of an outdoor ceremony. We first started with the SmallHD DP6. While it was awesome to pull focus, it was a bit big. We then moved to the DP4. The size was nice but we still have the issue of the lag time of a DSLR via HDMI and truthfully we probably broke a half dozen cables.
We bought one of the Cyclops last year after watching Michael Padilla using it. Within the first hour of filming our first wedding with it my second shooter came up to me and said this is the best thing I have ever seen. (So I bought a second)
We say it has benefits and clarity of a monitor without all the drawbacks"
