Desview R6 UHB Review | A Monitor You Can Use In Bright Sunlight?

[@RudyVisuals]

Are you using a field monitor to film your videos? Let us know 👇

[@kavi6813]

Looks like a great option. I am using a cheap feelworld that I got second hand and it is completely unusable in the day time.

[@lilmai1997]

We have one at our company but it's a lot bigger than this one. We mainly use it when we film interviews

[@sarag4187]

My partner got the Mavo P5 but after seeing this might be time for an upgrade 🤔

[@QualityVideoService]

I'm using a Desview R6.

[@nickandhelmi]

Yes sunny days is very important, i like that feature

[@RudyVisuals]

Especially if you are a nice country like Australia!

[@jacktoddy9783]

Rudy - excellent review - it told me exactly what I wanted to know about small monitors - many thanks.

[@RudyVisuals]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@daveedsdreads1265]

Very comprehensive review. Thank you!

[@RudyVisuals]

Glad it was helpful!

[@PeterandYen]

Yooo y'all must have so many monitors now if you get to keep all of these hahaha. This one looks like it'll be especially good for really sunny days. The cool thing about your videos now is that you can get peeks of that sweet sweet laptop sitting in the background 😯😍

[@RudyVisuals]

Haha we do have an entire closet full of products to review!

[@nickandhelmi]

Too many that they can do a giveaway

[@chgotbanned]

Yeah I'ma grab this monitor sometime soon for my gh5 set up as well as that new rode go mic II for the rig

[@jatag]

Great review might consider this in the future for travel video and such.

[@RudyVisuals]

Thanks for stopping by Jonalyn :))

[@jaydee8553]

The monitor document says it supports np-750 batteries but it looks like only np-970 will work

[@Domerfly]

I’m using 750s with it no problem. The only thing I don’t like about this monitor is a slight lag

[@ToyJoyChannel_TJC]

Very nice review. Cool stuff! I think i need that monitor

[@RudyVisuals]

Thanks :))

[@VinnieCamilleriMusic]

Hey Rudy, what battery are you using there?

[@sarag4187]

LMAO

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Wondering if that nice brightness affects the battery life compared to similar monitors...

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

Oh, I see that answered now. Thanks!

[@RudyVisuals]

Haha no worries. I think my cheap batteries are not a good indication, with better batteries it might last longer but for freelance work we wouldn't use batteries regardless and go for the power supply instead.

[@jarummanis]

Thanks for a very good review. Just one question. Is there any noticable lag and delay?

[@RudyVisuals]

You're welcome buddy! There is a very very tiny slight delay but it's not very noticeable in my opinion.

[@AntolinandCha]

Nice review, I might consider this in the future. Using my fujifilm XT-2.

[@RudyVisuals]

Oh great! That would pair nicely with the xt-2 :)

[@AimlesslyDrifting]

This is insane!! Might have to look into this for future investments when we travel out the country ^_^

[@RudyVisuals]

Definitely!

[@retrogamerz9576]

Great review mate. As a noob would love to know more in-depth about those features like the histograms, focus peaking etc.

[@RudyVisuals]

Oh sure, maybe that's something we could make a specific video about in the future :)

[@sirelegance89]

Same here

[@mariaandbryan]

You can review as many monitors as you want, we are doing ton of research on those now

[@mariaandbryan]

Nice about the cooling feature. With the rode mics, I don't think we should have a problem with it.

[@47roo]

The rode video mics (I have the mk1 video mic pro) have a supercardioid pickup pattern which means they do pickup a short distance behind the mic too. I have an Atomos Ninja V and I have found the fan noise to be a real problems with run and gun documentary shooting. Hence looking for something else. I don't use the recoding functionality on the Ninja V as much as I thought I would be the brightness of it mean I really don't want to go back to my original cheap monitor. This could be a good option as at lower brightness the fan could be off.

[@josecarrillocabrera2508]

Thanks for the great video. Have you noticed the levels of your metering tools changing while adjusting your brightness or contrast on the monitor itself? Not sure if I have a faulty unit or not but mine suffers from this issue. Waveform, false color, histogram shift up and down while adjusting brightness/contrast. Can't judge exposure reliably this way!!

[@lilmai1997]

Oh wow it's so much brighter than the 6d!

[@RudyVisuals]

It makes such a big difference!

[@odecimosegundojogador6106]

2800nits is a must have under the Rio de Janeiro sunlight

[@RudyVisuals]

Oh wow I can totally imagine! Thanks for stopping by :)

[@MihaelaClaudiaPuscas]

False colours, interesting! Colour is important in videos! At least that's what I've noticed lately when editing my clips, great colours make a huge difference!

[@RudyVisuals]

Thank you for stopping by Mihaela :))

[@StanligFilms]

but hows the battery life like?

[@RudyVisuals]

At full brightness about an hour with my cheap 3rd party batteries (I have to carry like 3 or 4 with me), but we would recommend just using a power supply for serious work.

[@47roo]

Have you used this monitor much more since the review? I'm really curious about battery life. Being plugged into a wall isn't an option for most of my work. Were thr batteries you showed in the video were npf 770 or 550? I wouldn't being using the monitor at full brightness all of the time. How long does it last at a reasonable brightness for indoor or cloudy conditions?

[@josecarrillocabrera2508]

Thanks for the great video!! When using false color/histogram/waveforms, do the values change while toggling the LUT on/off?

[@RudyVisuals]

Oh great question! I'll take a look later and find out for you as I can't remember off the top of my head!

[@josecarrillocabrera2508]

@@RudyVisuals That would be amazing Rudy, i can't find it anywhere!

[@RudyVisuals]

@@josecarrillocabrera2508 Hey man! From what I can tell it doesn't change the data, so it seems to show you the colors,histrogram and waveforms of the original video feed before applying any LUT regardless of whether you have it toggled on or off.

[@josecarrillocabrera2508]

​@@RudyVisuals That is great news! Thanks for the info!!

[@willieguinhawa1970]

Hi there... I appreciate the video review you put together... question... have you tried powering the Desview R6 with a power bank? if not, are you able to do a quick test? I haven't seen anything online or reviews about this... many thanks.

[@RudyVisuals]

I haven't and unfortunately my missus has taken my powerbank on her trip so I can't test this right now. There is a dc in so I assume as long as your power bank has enough power, it should be no problem.

[@romainjl]

@@RudyVisuals Hi Rudy. Could you maybe put a link to a DC power supply that would fit? Not sure which one to choose, and there is nothing about in in the user manual

[@Traveler_Greg]

Very interesting review. Nice monitor. Greetings and thanks for sharing. Wish you a nice week. ThUp.

[@RudyVisuals]

Thanks Greg, you too!

[@handansaber6019]

There seems to be so much choice now in this price range. Hard to choose!

[@RudyVisuals]

Very true, but always better to have lots of choice than no choice at all :D

[@ericgrayphoto]

How accurate are the colors out of the box?

[@RudyVisuals]

For me they were ever so slightly flat, I just had to bump up the contrast a tiny bit in the menu.

[@bymark6207]

hi bro. nice vid! i just wanna ask, are face detection and tracking working when in 4k 60fps? 😃

[@RudyVisuals]

Thanks! On our camera we can't shoot 4k 60frames, so it would depend on your camera body. The monitor won't affect this!

[@myknosspyros4607]

And I knew exactly what to do. But in a much more real sense, I had no idea what to do.

[@RudyVisuals]

🤣

[@sirelegance89]

It's Michael Scott!

[@andregaertner]

Very good review. Thanks for it. I have two questions. 1. If you have the choice between a Atomos Shinobi and this one. Which one would you prefer? 2. Is it possible to fill the waveform with the hole screen?

[@RudyVisuals]

I've actually never used the Shinobi before but it does look good, but very happy with the R6! We've used the Ninja V in the past which is a fantastic product for the price though so we do like Atomos products. Sadly you can't fill up the whole screen with the wave form, only put it in one corner of the screen.

[@leestuart38]

Don't get a Shinobi. I have both and this monitor blows it out of the water, the Shinobi is actually pretty terrible and I'm not sure why so many people like them. This monitor looks better, works better, and has 10x more useful features

[@ericgrayphoto]

@@leestuart38 I don’t have either. Was trying to decide between them. Why don’t you like the Shinobi?

[@astro_latino]

Very helpful. Thank you. Brightness is not very important until you really need it hahah

[@АнзуриГобечия]

Which one is better to buy, this one or Feelword Lut5 3000 nit. Which one is better in terms of functionality?

[@RudyVisuals]

I can't really comment on the feelworld because I have never owned it I'm afraid but I can vouch for the r6!

[@retrogamerz9576]

Could this be used for photography too? Just curious.

[@RudyVisuals]

Yeah I see no reason why not but it would just be more practical to use the viewfinder for photography.

[@marksturtz1162]

I'm will be buying a field monitor myself. 99.9999 still photography. My goal is to have a better view of focus peaking/assist to aid in critical focus with fast lens. Shooting flowers etc wide open minimum depth of field. I'm struggling with the focus peaking on my nikon d780 55mm f1.2 nikon close up filter 1,2or 3 . This lens minimum focus is about 1 meter which is why I use the close up lens. I'm hopeful the larger screen focus peaking and zoom feature will help.

[@hans6304]

@@marksturtz1162 Hello Mark did you get the R6 for photography? I shoot macro and would love to know how it goes. Cheers

[@MrKYLEforAwhile]

Is there no way to see when your recording on the monitor, or display your camera settings?

[@DanielLiwanag]

is there a way in the setting to keep the brightness settings without it dimming? Every time I set the brightness it goes dim.

[@yaslamgaming8693]

Great..

[@RudyVisuals]

Thank...

[@retrogamerz9576]

Also can you control the camera itself via the touch screen?

[@RudyVisuals]

Sadly not, that would be quite cool but would probably be quite expensive to add.

[@MIMCKMedia]

Whats the difference to the R7

[@RudyVisuals]

I believe the R7 is slightly bigger but doesn't have as bright of a screen.

[@theoell2049]

can you tab to focus?

There is a setting within the menu to change it.

[@MrCloudss]

What's the battery life like with a NP-F970s ?

[@tneighbors]

How is battery life? I hear that it burns through batteries pretty quick at full brightness but what about at normal indoor brightness levels? I realize it's a vague question, but can you offer any insight?

[@andrijarancic6330]

Can I see my video on this monitor if I recording at 100fps in ful hd? Or 50fps on 4k??

Hey, how do you get your active track frame showing up on the Desview R6 screen? Like you see at 2:08. It doesn't show up on my Desview R6 while I can see it on my Canon R5 display ... How do i get it to show up?

[@RudyVisuals]

Hey there! For 1080p 120 frames, it works fine, but I'm not sure about 4k60 as I don't have a camera that can shoot that to test it!

[@QualityVideoService]

How do get your camera LCD screen to display while using the external monitor?

[@RudyVisuals]

Depending on your camera, it might not be able to output a signal to both the monitor and the camera display at the same time. And others will display it, but then turn off the camera screen during recording, or will work at 1080 but not at 4k. It just depends on what camera you're using I'm afraid.

[@QualityVideoService]

@@RudyVisuals I'm using a Desview R6 monitor with my Nikon z50. The Nikon Z6 when Atomos Ninja V, then going into the camera movie settings HDMI allows the LCD screen to function when using the external monitor.

Hi, what camera are you using it with? Depending on the model, some cameras don't have enough power to output a signal to both the camera and the monitor itself, while others can but then won't be able to output to the camera screen while recording.

Hello, do you know how to disable the automatic brightness sensor on this monitor? I can't find it in the settings, thank you.

[@philipphuber3843]

I have a problem and cannot find a solution to it. While I can use the swipe up/down gesture to increase/decrease the brightness of the screen, it immediately resorts back to the automatically set brightness (from the light sensor) as soon as I lift my finger from the screen. I have absolutely no manual control over the brightness. If I point a torch onto the light sensor, it does automatically increase the brightness. To me it appears that the only thing that actually works if the fully automatic process, not the manual one. Am I doing something wrong here? Does your device operate the same way? Can anyone help?

[@duykhiemphan412]

I had a bad experience with Desview R5 before which was a huge problem, the gain output of the headphone jack of it is too low to monitor when shooting and even zero output when playback the footage. This is a deadly issue because most of dslr when output to a monitor through HDMI they also mute disable their headphone jack so the monitor's jack is the only option. Could you check whether this is still a problem with this model?
