Is IndiPro Tools EVF a good one for DSLR ?

[ripupthehwy]

I'm looking into an inexpensive monitoring solution to use with my Nikon D800 DSLR while shooting video. I've seen alot online about the Zacuto, which is around $1000 us.
Has anyone here had any experience with the IndiPro Tools EFV ? http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/913522-REG/indipro_tools_indi_evfpro_lpe6_3_5_electronic_viewfinder_for.html

It's only $300 so I would expect it not to have many of the features the Zacuto has. However it's listed as having the same screen resolution so I'm thinking I would be able to get same focus accuracy.

Anyone used this?

Thanks

I don't have any experience with it but i was looking at this one here on ebay

there are a ton around at basically this price on ebay. They look identical to the IndiPro model don't they?

Also keep in mind resolution is not the only factor when picking a monitor or EVF. color accuracy and exposure accuracy also play a large part in the reliability of the monitor.

The ebay model shows that it has focus peaking, monochrome settings to check each color, 5d mode which handles scaling so you don't have a black out when you hit record, and crop marks

Thanks for letting me know about this. However, with shipping from China, the total cost would be around $270. IndiPro at B&H is $299 plus shipping. I'd much rather take my chances ordering from an american company, considering the closeness in price.
