Battle of Under $150 Monitors - Reviewing Portkeys PT5 II Versus OSEE T5+ DSLR Field Monitor

[@maximplayzz3164]

Hi, is the build quality a big issue? I want to buy one of them, but I am leaning a bit more to the Osee T5+ for the brighter screen. But the design of the Portkeys PT5 is a lot better, so for outside use. Which one should I lean to?

[@ToasterVentura]

Build quality is not that big of an issue. You wouldn't know unless you have both in hand. The port keys feels denser in hand while Osee feels lighter. I say you are good to go with Osee if you are using it outdoor. The 1000 nits makes a huge difference for sure.

[@maximplayzz3164]

@@ToasterVentura You made the choise for the Portkeys because of the easier handling. But if you would film outside, would you also have chosen the Portkeys PT5?

[@ToasterVentura]

If I were to film outside 70 percent plus then Osee. It's not like you are changing settings constantly anyways. You can set and forget you know?

@@ToasterVentura yes! I do understand! Really thank you for this video, because there wasn’t a comparison video about these two.

[@ToasterVentura]

Thanks buddy yeah I am sure lots of people are in the same shoe as me. Glad I was able to help!

Just a heads up i am currently using a 128 gig usb at first it didn’t work but when i reformatted it in the right format its works perfectly i was able to load up all my custome Luts.

[@ToasterVentura]

Oh cool maybe I need to reformat the cards for it to work. Great tip!!

[@redman1829]

@@ToasterVentura no problem. I learned that it’s the format that has to be correct the size doesn’t matter at all.

[@paulmiller6336]

Will either of these work with older DSLRs like my canon 5D mark ii?

[@ToasterVentura]

If it has an hdmi output then yeah!

[@paulmiller6336]

@@ToasterVentura thank you…I only wondered if it would provide accurate picture framing size but yes it does have hdmi out thanks

[@ToasterVentura]

@paulmiller6336 yeah I mean it should be 16:9 aspect ratio.

[@paulmiller6336]

Thanks

[@Subfrequenz]

Hey, does the Portkeys have 1:1 pixel mapping for focus checking? Cheers!

[@azizulzulzaha]

Im liking the portkey, can you power it with a powerbank somehow?

[@ToasterVentura]

Surprisingly yes, I just tested it and it powered on the monitor using the USBC to USB a into the portkeys. It's being powered by my gimbal right now lol

[@azizulzulzaha]

@@ToasterVentura pls do a review on what kind of powerbank output + what kind of cables!! i need this!🥲

[@azizulzulzaha]

@@ToasterVentura also does it affect the brightness as well when using powerbank ✌🏻

[@ToasterVentura]

Just grab a cheapy usbA to USBA cable and you are golden. It needs at least 5V

[@ToasterVentura]

Oh good question let me test that out and get back to you.

[@travelpatron]

Is osee t5 1000 nits enough to film outside without hood??? I see t5 has a hood too

[@ToasterVentura]

It’s bright enough to be outside but you still deal with glare so a hood is still recommended

[@travelpatron]

@@ToasterVentura thank you. What about pt6? Worth to switch it to t5 or not how do you think?

[@ToasterVentura]

@travelpatron the pt6 is only 600 nits and priced at 169$ vs pt5 is 500 nits at $125. I don’t think the 100 nits is gonna make a huge difference man. You should consider whether you like touchscreen function more vs button operation of t5 more instead. And I think the pt5ii is a pretty good deal if you are into touch screens

[@travelpatron]

@@ToasterVentura I was thought that t5 is 1000 nits. Thanks 🙌🏻

[@ToasterVentura]

Oh I misread your comment. Yes T5 is 1000 nit, the port key pt5ii is 500 nits lol. Do you film outside a lot? If so get the brightest screen possible

[@travelbagphotography]

Good review. For those who shoot outside, 600 nits is a fail, even with a sunscreen.

[@ToasterVentura]

Thanks buddy appreciate the support my friend
