3. Jeffry, are you saying that SCPro gives an image beFORe shooting? I thought it was only after. If the latter, it would be no good to me. Could you please confirm.

With my sd Quattro h, it streamed prior to the shot. I think this is typical of tether applications.

You mentioned the HDMI option. You can capture HDMI and stream it via USB. (There are devices that are HDMI on one side and USB on the other.) You could connect that to your computer and watch as if it were a web cam.

You can also connect this to your smart phone via an OTG cable and use one of several apps to view the stream as if it were a web cam. I have done this with the sd Quattro H so I could have a quick and dirty field monitor. Beats lying down in the mud. I did this on Android and have no idea if it works on Apple, but I imagine "there's an app for that". Even if Android, your device has to play well with OTG cables and allow this kind of thing. Mine happens to so it works for me.
