The ARRI ALEXA Mini LF Multi Viewfinder MVF-2 is a versatile, next-generation viewfinder system that enables simultaneous use of its high-resolution OLED EVF and 4" flip-out monitor—delivering flexible monitoring for operators and assistants alike. Designed for ultimate usability, dual control dials allow the MVF-2 to be operated from either side of the camera, adapting seamlessly to different shooting styles and on-set positions.
Enhanced over the previous MVF-1, both the OLED eyepiece and monitor offer upgraded performance, including the ability to detach the eyepiece from the monitor unit for greater rigging freedom and improved ergonomics. Combining clarity, intelligent control, and modular design, the MVF-2 provides a truly multifunctional viewing and control solution for professional ALEXA Mini LF workflows.
The MVF-2's high-resolution, high-contrast monitor features the same OLED as the ALEXA LF EVF-2, providing matched views when using both cameras at the same time. The ARRICAM-style optical eyepiece incorporates a large exit pupil, providing more leeway for the operator's head movements while still viewing the image. A built-in eyepiece heater can be activated to defog your view when it's cold or muggy; this cable-less function will clear the eyepiece in all but the absolute coldest temperatures.
A new viewfinder cable incorporates keyless, easy-to-attach CoaXpress connectors; cables are available up to 33' long for remote control and viewing. The 4" monitor can be flipped out to the side, folded back with its screen visible, or folded flat for single-operator use. The MVF-2 monitor's tilting function and high daylight visibility provide convenient viewing in almost any situation.
Simultaneous operation enables the MVF-2 to provide a view for your camera assistant or director while the camera operator is using the OLED eyepiece. A single operator can use the monitor's camera control dial while viewing through the EVF or the monitor as they choose. Operator-suggested design improvements include a headphone jack for monitoring audio and a slide-out card for jotting down camera notes or actor/character names.
Eyepiece & Monitor Combo
This multiview unit combines a high-contrast OLED EVF with a 4" flip-out monitor; both can be viewed simultaneously. The OLED display is the same as the one used in the ALEXA LF EVF-2, providing a uniform view when using both cameras. Choose between displaying your image or the camera menu on the flip-out monitor.
CoaXpress Cable
The flexible CoaXpress viewfinder cable is keyless, attaching and detaching quickly. Support is offered for cables up to 33', enabling you to use the MVF-2 for viewing or control away from the camera.
Eyepiece Heater
Heating elements attached directly to the eyepiece glass provide critical defogging in cold or humid conditions. This efficient cable-free solution will defog the eyepiece in all but the coldest environments.
ARRICAM-Style Eyepiece
A wide exit pupil on this ARRICAM-style eyepiece provides greater viewing flexibility when keeping your eye on the eyepiece during more athletic camera moves.
Works on Both Sides of the Camera
Dual control dials enable the MVF-2 to be used on either the camera operator or the assistant's side of the camera, whether the monitor is flipped open or lying flat.
Created with Operator Input
A slide-in card, useful for jotting down camera settings or talent/character names, is one of several design features incorporated into the MVF-2 which were suggested by camera operators.
