BMPCC 6k Pro Viewfinder on any camera?

PostWed Jul 20, 2022 10:49 am

Hi! First Post and Maybe a stupid question but Iam just curious and didnt find anything regarding this topic. So i give it a try here ;)
Has anyone any experience if there is a possibilty to use the Pocket Evf on other, non pocket Cameras? I know there are hdmi to usb c female Adapters on the market. So there should be a chance to grab a Video Signal. The only issue might be the Power source I guess.

I know this might be an exotic question an i already own another good evf but the Pocket evf is small, lightweight and can be placed everywhere with an Extension.
What got me thinking was the possibilty to use the ursa viewfinder on different cameras. It would be a shame if the Pocket evf would Not Support this.

Any ideas or has anyone tried this before?

Thank you very much and greetings from Germany!

this is an independent connection and has nothing in common with an HDMI connection

So you mean there is no Video Signal embeded in the usb c-out of the Pocket pro? My Hope was to Adapter the hdmi out of the 4 or regular 6k or Even the Micro Camera to usb c with a Male HDMI to usb-c Adapter

I don't think it works for other camera's, but maybe this might help you?
