The PYXIS Monitor EVF Kit from Blackmagic Design is a high-brightness 5″ LCD touchscreen monitor designed for the Blackmagic PYXIS camera, functioning as both an external display and a full camera control interface. It supports multiple mounting configurations, allowing it to be used as a large electronic viewfinder or mounted on a rig for more accurate focusing and framing. The kit includes a clip-on sunshade, fixed and swivel mounts, a dovetail shoe with mounting screws, an EVF bracket rod mount, an EVF rotating bracket with a 19mm carbon fiber rod, two short 15mm carbon fiber rods, and a USB-C viewfinder cable for direct connection to the camera.
Constructed from durable machined metal, the Blackmagic PYXIS Monitor is designed for professional use and complements both the Blackmagic PYXIS and URSA Cine cameras. This 5″ LCD touchscreen features 1500 cd/m² brightness for clear visibility in bright environments, and a removable sunshade provides additional glare reduction. A built-in tally light is visible from a distance, and three customizable buttons offer quick tactile access to key tools like zebra, focus assist, and false color.
The monitor connects to the camera via a single USB-C cable that transmits video, power, and camera control. Locking screws at each end secure the connection. Users can control all camera functions directly from the HDR touchscreen, including access to settings, metadata, digital slate information, and menu navigation. Support for custom 3D LUTs allows for use in advanced workflows.
For mounting flexibility, the monitor features standard 1/4″-20 threads and integrates smoothly with Blackmagic PYXIS accessories, such as cages and rail systems. The USB-C connection also supports off-camera mounting on cranes or gimbals, enabling continued monitoring and control even when the camera is out of reach.
