Elevate Your Production with Professional Monitoring and Recording
Tired of squinting into tiny viewfinders and compromising on your shot? The Blackmagic Design Video Assist 7" 3G is the essential upgrade your camera has been waiting for, transforming your entire shooting experience. This all-in-one professional monitor and recorder gives you the tools to shoot with confidence and deliver post-production-ready files, whether you're using a DSLR, mirrorless, or professional broadcast camera.
Its large, bright 7-inch touchscreen provides a crystal-clear view of your frame, making focus and composition more intuitive than ever. But it's more than just a bigger screen. The Video Assist is packed with professional monitoring tools right at your fingertips. Instantly bring up waveform, vectorscope, or histogram scopes to ensure perfect exposure and broadcast standard compliance. Use focus peaking and zoom to nail critical focus every time, and apply custom 3D LUTs to preview your final look on set, ensuring your creative vision is captured exactly as intended.
Leave low-quality, heavily compressed camera files behind. The Video Assist records directly to high-quality 10-bit Apple ProRes or Avid DNx files, formats that are universally compatible with all major editing software, including DaVinci Resolve Studio. The dual SD card slots enable continuous recording, automatically switching to the second card when one is full, so you never miss a moment. The quality extends to audio, too. With two professional mini XLR inputs with phantom power, you can capture pristine, broadcast-quality sound directly into the recorder, eliminating the need for separate audio gear and simplifying your workflow from capture to post.

Customs, duties & taxes
There are no customs duties or taxes on orders shipping within the EU. Orders shipped outside of the EU may be subject to import taxes, customs duties and fees collected by the destination country. The recipient of an international shipment may be subject to such import taxes, customs duties and fees, which are collected once a shipment reaches the recipient's country. Additional charges for customs clearance must be paid for by the recipient; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country; and when customs clearance procedures are required, it can cause delays beyond our original delivery estimates. We advise that you contact your local customs office for more information.
