Review Portkeys LEYE EVF by Tom Antos, who is a professional film director and cinematographer with over twelve years of experience in VFX & animation. He often does camera, lens and gear tests. Check out this review and to see what Tom’s experience with Portkeys LEYE EVF is.
Please note that this is review of the first generation of LEYE EVF and we are currently selling the LEYE II, which is an integrated Canon E6 battery plate. Upgraded Heatsink Vents Design. New upgrades but no price increase.

Portkeys LEYE viewfinder provides clear viewing options for your mirrorless cameras, Z CAM, BMPCC, Canon C70 or other cameras that lack an integrated viewfinder. The viewfinder has an HDMI input and can support up to 4K30p video. If you need an EVF with SDI connections or loop out, plus a slightly higher resolution then check out the OEYE-RED EVF model here.
