New SmallHD monitor & viewfinder

Looks fantasic... as long as the same native SmallHD slim batteries that work with the DP6 also work with the PD4... they just sold me on it over redrock's EVF
 
I got their email alert today about this. I like the HDMI pass thru concept, great to daisy chain monitors.
Although the 4" is way too small for me I look forward to an update on the DP6 for HDMI thru.
A DP6 thru to a DP9 for client handoff would be sweet.
 
Have they released a price yet? Also, I did not see a price for the DP-6... really interested in that as well for the extra resolution.

For larger cameras, the 1280x800 PD6 is of course far more ideal but the 800x400 DP4 is meant for small and light DSLR rigs which is perfect for getting it into places where larger rigs would be cumbersome. I would look at it primarily as a B-cam monitor or EVF.
 
alternative EVF options are some of the hottest things to dive into right now. right up there with external recorders. makes perfect sense from SMALLHD. Hope they come out with a SDI version as well.
 
They will have an SDI attachment option for the DP4.

Seems like everyone and their cousin is jumping on EVFs... yet I don't see anyone making a quality, affordable 9" monitor, and I can't think of more than 2-3 companies besides SmallHD that are well positioned to. Ah well, kinda irrelevant, they didn't announce one, so that's that :/

Unfortunately, the slim line SmallHD battery is a bit wider then the DP4. The first set of battery plates will be DLSR and compact camera batteries. We will also have a locking connector plate for external power options. I will let the design team know about your interest in the SmallHD batteries.

I love SmallHD products, but since the DP4 monitor is actually smaller than the DP1 and DP6 battery it would be pretty lame to include that battery bracket. I see the reason for using the DSLR battery plates now. Any plans on launching with a plate for Panasonic GH2 batts?

Glad ur on the forums reed. There's a huge need for an 8" or 9" monitor like your old dp1x. Although the dp6 is nice I had to pass on it as it's not much larger than an on-camera LCD which (for me) defeats the purpose.
