F&V has been steadily cranking out quality lighting products, and at NAB 2014 they introduced their first EVF. Containing features that you'll find in higher-end EVFs/monitors, the new 4.3" SpectraHD 4 is going to come in at a bit lower price than some other options. They've also got a larger 7" monitor with slightly less resolution, which should work well as an inexpensive additional monitor on the camera. Finally, they are introducing new lights with far higher CRI ratings -- which means better color reproduction. Check out the interview below:
