According to the manufacturer, the viewfinder image should be displayed without delay (zero-delay). The diopter can be adjusted between -6D and +2D.
Operation is said to be very quiet (even “noise-free”); there is no fan. The power consumption is 2.5W, there is a LEMO 4-pin (7-24V) connection for the power supply. USB-C is also on board, but only for firmware updates.
