Blackmagic Video Assist 5” 3G

The Blackmagic Video Assist 5" 3G is a portable monitor, a professional recorder, a portable scope display and a fantastic viewfinder in one! It also has higher quality recording codecs on board and adds a larger screen to any SDI and HDMI camera. The new design includes four integrated scopes, an even better focus aid, a tally indicator and 3D LUTs. The Video Assist 5" 3G supports formats up to 1080p/60 and relies on L-series batteries for longer battery life. So the Blackmagic Video Assist 5" 3G is actually four products in one!
