One thing to consider if you wear eye glasses: if the monitor is mounted on the top of the camera and you are recording yourself looking at the camera, your eyes can be obscured by the monitor’s reflection.

[@TheBiteShot]

that's good to note!

This video comes at the perfect time. Been using a spare tv but it's big and time consuming to set up just for a video. Thanks for the great recommendation Joanie.

[@BryanBenoitPhoto]

One important point to look out for is to get the right HDMI cable. Your camera may have a full size HDMI port… but can also have a mini or micro HDMI port so make sure to check your camera so you get the right cable. For example most Canon have a micro HDMI ports. The monitor will like 99% of the time have a full size HDMI port.

Great tip!

[@uberdesign]

Great demo

[@loucidlife]

Thank you Always ❤️

[@newtuber4freedom43]

Awesome!!

[@ChefSaraHaas]

Ahhhh, been waiting for this one! Thanks for the thorough walk-thru Joanie! Off to check if they make a similar, larger version...for old people, like me. LOL

[@TheBiteShot]

And thanks for having my back 😘

[@kemanghakim7059]

awesome!!!

[@larisaniedle1472]

You are a wizard! I was just complaining that I need a new external monitor.

[@TheBiteShot]

Ha ha! Reading minds is my favorite 😜

[@CupcakeSavvysKitchen]

Fantastic! Will this work with a Sony ZV1?

[@BryanBenoitPhoto]

If it has an HDMI port it will work. Check the side of the camera it should be labeled

[@jeniusboy]

Might also want to consider the refresh rate, as most of these panels won't let you see a high frame rate for slow motion.

[@aadyae]

Thank you for the video. The connection to the camera is via the Hotshoe. How would i attach my level to the camera at this point?

[@leogariba]

Just to be clear, this display is not 4K. 4k is the HDMI output. The screen resolution is "just" Full HD, not 4k.

[@TheBiteShot]

Good clarification!

Hii mam myself Harry I'm from India dehili I'm Executive chef Awadh Gurop of club dehili ncr I'm watching your video everyday I love too see your content everyday

[@JamesSmith0001]

Hello, I was shooting my cooking video on my Bamboo cutting board. But I am having these jittery lines ( MOIRE) of cutting board on camera. Can you please guide how to avoid that? my iPhone never had these problems before. Now I have switched to the entry-level Mirrorless camera .

[@ChristineSiracusa]

Once again you've anticipated my needs. When you shoot vertically does the image shown in the monitor adjust accordingly?

[@TheBiteShot]

for this one you can have it auto-detect and it will flip (tho I find that hit and miss on this one personally). Instead I just use the "Image flip" that I have programmed in the function button and then when my camera is mounted vertically on my tripod the monitor then is also vertical. Works great!

[@ChristineSiracusa]

@@TheBiteShot thank you

[@thehimaliyanhighwaykitchen5590]

Which camera perfect for me for making Great attractive food recipes contents

[@clarklabelson6474]

Love your videos do you have a discount code for PPA, you can get credit for?

[@aadyae]

What battery is used for the monitor? Also what is the brand there that connects 2 batteries.

[@gaurinigudkar7494]

I would like to know more about the batteries too... Do we get a battery and a charger with this monitor? If not then kindly give us links for the same please..

[@IamWhoYouSayIam]

This seems only possible with Nikon and Sony and other Camera brands but not Canon. True?

[@IamWhoYouSayIam]

Can someone tell Canon to allow Photographers to use a monitor without loosing the LCD at the Back? Or is there a way to set it up? I have tried a Ninja V with EOS R5 and as soon as you connect the LCD goes Blank! May be there is a way. Anyone with an idea please help

[@marbelhaj1234]

Did you figure it out?

[@lamarrion]

I have the atomos ninja v.

[@leomachine23]

Thanks, you're awesome! ❤ PD: There are a dead time in your video. 3:37 - 3:54.

[@robertdimartino5794]

There is an ad there

[@TheBiteShot]

Thanks for catching that! I think we had an oopsie in the edit. I've made a trim here in KZbin studio and it should take that dead spot out in about an hour. Thank you!

[@CookinWithSquirrl]

-Black screen from --3:37-- to --3:54-- unless that's just me?- Now corrected.

[@leomachine23]

Yup, dead time in the timeline.

[@CookinWithSquirrl]

@@leomachine23 Thank you for confirming!

[@TheBiteShot]

Just trimmed to fix it. Thanks for letting me know!

[@CookinWithSquirrl]

@@TheBiteShot my pleasure! I'd hope someone would do the same for me :-)

[@CookinWithSquirrl]

@@TheBiteShot I also didn't realize that you could trim bits out of the middle of a video in YT. I thought it was limited to top and tail. Glad to know that now.
