Welcome to Texas. I moved to New Braunfels from NYC 15 years ago. No looking back. I just bought the same monitor. Way brighter than my 2 Atomos monitors.

[@nuaveb]

Glad to see you in Texas, seems like everyone is heading there!

[@NigelBarros]

Probably will only be here for a year or so, I'm liking it so far!

[@stevenneaves8079]

Hey, welcome to Texas! I’m in Waco and will be visiting the Dallas area this weekend with some friends 🤙🏼

[@WHITEPERSUAS1ON]

I am so sorry you're in Dallas. Get well soon! San Antonio, Houston or Austin should have you feeling better in no time

[@leoclayton9573]

Since day one I’ve been learning and enjoy your work

[@Spootyskater]

Also a fan of quick and compact rigs. Recently been on the hunt for a good NATO top handle, thanks for sharing!

[@yabilmedia]

Thanks man...I was looking for a budget monitor 🇵🇬❤️

[@Qibilii]

Reminds me of the OSMO 4K, had seriously loud fans too. Great display though.

[@alexplunne2548]

Wow Nigel miss the Rain yet ?Texas looks so nice and sunny no matter the place you always make great Videos

[@Monsoon41]

Awesome video as always!!!

[@davidlongenecker9414]

I just got the c7 and omg it’s so bright. It gets so hot 😂

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

With so much light in Texas, Nigel can lower his ISO for cleaner shadows!

[@LouisLuzuka]

Notifications gang checking in! Always wanted a monitor for my eos m!

[@NigelBarros]

always glad to see you here in the comment section Louis!

[@archguide]

Sweet transition at 3:44 dude!

[@LouisLuzuka]

Top handle mic is a game changer

[@AREDITS77]

Bro thats Wylie skatepark i know exactly where that is. Can we link up and give me some tips and have a little film session

[@TonySelyem]

Does the monitor/fans run quieter if you run it less bright? Don't need full brightness all the time....

[@LouisLuzuka]

Can you hear the fans with a shotgun mic?

[@speakstruth7742]

Where can I find that cheap monitor mount attached to the battery plate?

[@TonySelyem]

Great review. TY!

[@thejacobbunn]

So you know how I was asking you about monitors? Well I want to pick up one of the ones you recommended but don't have it in the budget right now... soooo for the short film shoot I used an old tv screen haha

[@obscurity_films]

Interesting. Tbh, I hated my old AndyCine, battery life was only like an hour, even with a fairly chunky NPF. Nice that they have LUT previews now. I wish I had saved more and gone for something like a Shinobi off the bat. How's battery life on this one?

[@lyndonlabayan]

Huh I was about to grab the desview r6 too...

[@calebpagan2226]

I’ve got a 5.5 inch monitor and I have to squint and get really close to see. I think the 7 inch monitors are much more convenient

[@smalldeekgeorge]

That's what she said...

[@luisedtr07]

Dude you’re in Texas.. why are you wearing a black hoodie!? 🤣.. fellow Texan here 👋, great video! 😄

[@NigelBarros]

It was early april so still kinda cool when i made this video!

[@luisedtr07]

@@NigelBarros haha yea man I freaked out there for a second. It’s blazing hot now! 🔥🔥🔥

[@NigelBarros]

@@luisedtr07 I'm kinda over it, way too freaking hot!

[@luisedtr07]

@@NigelBarros lol yea man

[@rjmediacanada]

Hi Nigel. Interesting but to be honest, not very informative. How reflective is the screen, can you easily see the screen in bright sunlight (you were always in the shade) and how long does the included 2200mAh battery last at full brightness. Also I noticed you mounted the monitor right above your mic? Did you pick up fan noise while shooting as you didn't have any ambient sound in your video just sound track and overlay. I am also looking for a daylight screen. Cheers.

[@markkaplan1104]

I was wondering the same thing about fan noise with the shotgun mic right next to the monitor fan

[@LouisLuzuka]

Definitely a fan of a small monitor

[@johnnybguud]

Is this compatible with iPhone hooked up with a rode microphone

[@jacent4073]

Can we do screen mirror with this?

[@jellebatenburg8427]

can you power the camera and monitor at the same time with one battery and that battery plate? ( because it has 2 ports)

[@CameraEnRoute]

Hi, great video. What kind of cage do you have for the OMD EM1 II? I have the same camera.

[@TuckerPearce]

Why Portland to TEXAS, just curious.

[@Monsoon41]

It’s a lot warmer and sunnier and bright Plus we have better food :)

[@NigelBarros]

My wife's family lives here so we want to be closer to them for a while

[@LouisLuzuka]

Can you please tell us how you keep it all powered up

[@NigelBarros]

yeah that NP battery plate will power the monitor with however big an NP battery you have, and no my mic doesn't pic up the fans

[@LouisLuzuka]

@@NigelBarros do you have a dummy battery or is your battery life great 👍

[@NigelBarros]

@@LouisLuzuka the battery life on the included NP battery is good, but i have much larger NP batteries that give me even longer run time with the monitor. the battery of my camera are just generic olympus battery, just the monitor is run off of NP's

[@LouisLuzuka]

@@NigelBarros that’s awesome 👏 my question is when do you grab Olympus rig vs osmo ? I love your small vlog setup or do you bring both

[@jellebatenburg8427]

is 1000 nits enough for outside?

[@maxwilson7001]

What if I want a monitor that doesn’t have to be bright? I want silent operation, battery life, and focus peaking over just about anything else

[@firstname405]

Then look for one that has those features

[@Fzhazq]

Hey nigel!... Currently using lumix gh3... And the lcd is broken recently... Can i use external monitor with this model?

[@NigelBarros]

yes Gh3 can take and external monitor with a mini hdmi to regular HDMI cable!

[@JKFLASH]

How comes your living in texas???

[@NigelBarros]

My wife's family lives here so we want to be closer to them for a while

[@JKFLASH]

@@NigelBarros i should have DM you ...

[@iComplainer]

portland and dallas are like extreme polar opposites.

[@MichaelAmsel]

Did you say 3000 nits??? Holy cannoli
