Favorite Camera Monitors for Video (2018 Edition)

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Hope you all had a great Christmas!!! One more video to finish up the year and its on to 2019!

[@tatianalopez8063]

can you do a video where you turn your laptop into a monitor ?

[@arimartin1944]

i guess it's quite off topic but do anybody know of a good website to watch new tv shows online?

[@JS-iy6hz]

caleb - best video monitor over $300 that doesn't overheat and 7-12"?

[@MarlonKingShow]

Nice Selection dude. You know what really gets my goat?.... why cant I use my phone screen... hdmi to USB c should work on android.... that would be a killer feature and one less thing to carry around.

[@josephfloyd727]

I'm loving this series. Can't wait for the cameras video!

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Should be up next week!

[@andysshanghailife6595]

I literally don’t buy anything now unless you recommend it! Thanks for the tips, Caleb!

[@cgshen7183]

I'm literally shopping for monitors right now and I saw this update

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Glad I could be of service on time!

[@cgshen7183]

@@dslrvideoshooter I'm looking at the "ikan hs7t", 7 inch, 1200nit, SDI, under 300$. Will there be a review about that anytime soon?

[@JoseRozon]

Your content is excellent, has helped me out a lot. Your video quality? Jesus Christ that is crisp.

[@cookingwithglen152]

Another great video Caleb, I’ve been watching you for a couple years now and you’ve always been a great help!! Keep up the great work man!! Happy new year!

[@m3rdpwr]

Lilliput's became real popular in the Car-Puter scene back in maybe 2002. We were using VIA EDEN/EPIA Mini-ITX motherboards in vehicles. (Still all in my closet somewhere. lol) Now a cellphone does it all.

[@Digital.Done.Right.]

"2017" just had to bomb it Caleb. Well done for the year. Looking to what you do in the next one.

[@dslrvideoshooter]

This year got away from me! Hope 2019 treats you well Andrew!

[@Somecooltech1]

Great video. Id love to see what you recommend and use for tripods. Especially light weight travel tripods and studio tripods.

[@A2KMedia]

Hey! Just wanted to check if you could recommend a 7 inch monitor just now? I want it on battery to check focus and exposure.

[@happycamper6260]

Have you any thoughts about the FeelWorld FW279 2200nit monitor..??

[@GFFmatt]

The Andycine 4k is crazy good for $180! Couldn’t shoot without it.

[@digitalcyclopsvideoproduct867]

Silly question (but one reason I need a new monitor) does it show you battery levels on the MONITOR not CAMERA? i.e. if your sony batt is about to give out?

[@StonedAlone]

@@digitalcyclopsvideoproduct867 good question! The monitor sounds almost too good to be true I wanna pick one up

[@digitalcyclopsvideoproduct867]

@@StonedAlone There actually are a slew of ones in around this price range. All decent. Just have to ensure they have these little details that make shooting decent. =>

[@Atomicjedi]

That Lillipud is all but small! I would love to have one of those for my documentaries and interviews. Having multiple camera angles on one screen? Awesome! I'm going on the cheap with a Feelword 4K 7"T756 HDMI Monitor . Latency and such is not such a big deal, I need it for focus and exposure mainly.

[@AllThingsFilm1]

Great video. I already own and use the Atomos Ninja Inferno, and love how it records to ProRes 10-bit 422. I hope to get the Ninja V to rig onto my Ronin S gimbal. Love your channel. Happy New Year.

[@LoverOfTech]

I am rocking the Andycine and the Atomos Ninja V

[@AllenWatts]

I bought the Lilliput A12 based on this video, thanks as always for the good reviews. At the price, it is hard to complain about this monitor. I may try a matte iPad screen protector and see if that helps the glare without ruining the image. I think there are two features that would push this monitor over the top... I would love to get 4k over SDI. I avoid HDMI whenever possible. The other wish (and this is nit-picky) but when you use the two-up settings, it would be great if you could rotate the monitor 90°. That way you could get two 16x9 images stacked without much squeezing. Would be an improvement over the super squeezed 2-up options. All in all though, this is a killer find. Glad you recommended it. I also echo other comments here, the fact that I can’t use my iPad pro as a monitor is baffling (without spending thousands on a Teradek). Seems like there would be an accessory of some kind to allow me to plug cameras into an iPad. Business opportunity for some entrepreneurial engineer somewhere.

Do you still recommend Lilliput A12 in 2020?

[@samphotoyt]

Thanks, we were just looking into something to replace the Black Magic screens we have that don't work well in sunlight. So that brings up a point... You don't mention which is the best for outside/daylight use?

[@OmaGhomrawi]

You're doing great video buddy. Best

[@HTYoutube]

can i play ps4 pro on liliput monitor?

[@HarrisonBroadbent]

who's excited for 2019!?

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Me!

[@HarrisonBroadbent]

@@dslrvideoshooter can't wait to see what you've got in store for us!

[@weightlessfilms5651]

Is it possible to use the Wifi on the GH5 or G85 and connect to an iPad wirelessly to use that as a monitor?

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Yes! And it works great. Checkout the Panasonic Imaging app and the Field Monitor app (did a video on this a while back).

[@jahdgreat]

Love this series. I got the same feelworld f6/andy cine, hope to upgrade to the atomos shinobi soon.

[@urdone4]

I would love for you to make a video in 2019 covering the topics of LED strips for film making RGB and such.

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Sounds good!

[@atilla1950]

Sadly, ypu haven't put Swit CM-55C on the list. I exchanged my Feelworlds with this new monitor. Ton of great features including scenes, waveform and auto rotate on flip for only 200$.

[@Stevenz8]

Hi Caleb, have you looked at the Fotga A50 and its variants?

[@AbdullahShaikhASTEC]

What do you think about liliput a7s.

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Haven't tried it, but most of these Chinese monitors use similar panels, so I'm sure its fine!

[@tiffdtate]

I’ve been using the Feelworld Master MA5 5 inch and I’m pretty happy with. I’ve been interested in an Atomos simply because it records. Maybe in the near future if I plan for it. Thanks for the reviews :)

[@chadwin]

SmallHD Focus is my fave monitor so far! Getting the AndyCine soon. Still haven't pulled the trigger on the Ninja V, but I think 2019 it'll happen for sure!

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Nice! All 3 are killer options.

[@jonahfit9127]

Andycine a6 or feelword ma5?

[@mistershoot]

hey Caleb, any advice for a field monitor with a waveform included, and if possible a full screen overlay of the waveform on top of the image. thanks. regards, Marc.

[@Rjacket]

Have you ever tried any of the freeworld products on Amazon. Particularly the F6 Model. Just wondering how it compares to the SmallHD focus?

[@fangshizhu9383]

Hi Caleb, great video! I bought the SmallHD Focus to pair with my GH4 and have been enjoying so far. I only have one issue using it: the color on it looks so different from the image on my camera (using desaturated, natural profile). I adjusted start learning coloring grading and realize it's really important to keep the color match. How do you calibrate your monitors to match the camera? I searched youtube and most people use an automatic digitized probe (cost ~ $200 - $300). Can you do it manually? Could you please do a tutorial about this?

[@stevenaustin4591]

quick question - can you use your tv as an external monitor for a Yi Discovery 4k Action camera? plz help apologies for being a little off topic. its got a usb-c port

[@pedrouriartte8904]

Caleb, thanks for sharing! Not a monitors questions: which frames do you use for your glasses?

[@OlegShtyk]

Please compare brightness and colors Atomos Shinobi & SmallHD FOCUS 7 & FEELWORLD FW279

[@Schmirek]

gonna get the Feelworld MA5 I think its basically the same as the Andycine

[@sironconi938]

Thank you so much for your great reviews and best of xxx - AndyCine A6 Monitor is a great budget option and I can testify to that for my GH5 :) I suggest you update the affiliate links to include UK specific links!

[@rajfl90]

Caleb please help!!! Is there a monitor on the market that could charge BMPCC4K?? I tried FeelWorld Ma5 with canon dummy battery and it wasn't working...

[@town3]

Do you think you'll review the SmallHD 503 & 703 monitors ?

[@EthanBares]

Hey Caleb! First off love the channel. I've been following you for a while and you are for sure one of the top authorities when it comes to filmmaking and video production. So I have a question for you. I'm looking at getting a monitor. I use the Canon 1dx mark ii and I primarily shoot wedding highlight videos but also do youtube and other commercial work. It should be noted that I do most my filming with the camera on the Ronin-S. I can't decide Between the SmallHD Focus, Focus OLED, and the Ninja V. Between the Focus and Focus HD the former has 800 nits (or something around there) and the latter has 350 nits. Is the OLED worth the extra money for 1080p, bigger screen, and better IQ but then sacrificing the brightness? And then at the price point of the OLED you can buy the Ninja V. I don't have a need for the recording features of the Ninja but at the same time as my business grows it might be a welcome addition to have for 10bit or whatnot. I would mainly use the monitor for its assist features like waveform, false color, etc. so I feel like the Focus is better for that. The Focus OS seems much faster and simplistic and for me time is money during a shoot. As of right now I'm leaning towards the Focus but don't know which to get because the OLED is great except for the brightness. Would love to hear what you think or if anyone else can help me out!

[@froznfire9531]

the feelworld ma5 and ma6 are the same kind as the andicine but offer better response time and image.. and cost the same...

[@ARMOTONY]

have you had any color issues with the small hd focus matching the sony a7iii screen. been having some really bad issues.

[@ZOZPRO]

great video , there is no need for more words , i just wanted to say 😍👌🏻

[@Alonnnz]

Have you heard from SWIT CM55C and the Bestview S5? I'm looking for a decent monitor which has a LUT feature and low to none latency.. with not the price of a smallHD haha. Suggestions?

[@AyechinoProd]

good luck with that

[@cyclexile]

Hey may i GET TO KNOW WHAT HDMI cable you are using for the first LILIPUT ,its so tiny !!!

[@CorporateMotions]

Always great videos, what was the quick release plate on the Sony camera

[@dslrvideoshooter]

That is an Acra Swiss plate. I use them exclusively now. Love em!

[@benarnoux]

I have the andycine!!! I like it, but I’m itching to get the ninja V for my GH5.

[@dslrvideoshooter]

Both will get the job done! But that Ninja V is hot stuff!

[@Righteousscenes]

Great video as always. I appreciate the hard work in order to give us relative information! What is a good but reasonably price monitor with high nits count? I live and work in sunny Florida and much of my work has to be performed in bright sunlight. Most of the monitors just can’t hang here. Any suggestions out there. Thanks!

[@LancerFIN]

Hello Caleb. You have heard of the Bestview S5? It has more features such as lens focus saves and better build quality for $150. (Cheaper than Andycyne)

[@thevinceedward]

LancerFIN the brightness listed is lower than either though. I think 350 vs 450 on the FW or Andycine.

[@MrMilanina]

Feelworld 729 with BP-U30 battery - clear winner. Weighs only 360g, 2200 Nits, 7” is minimum for critical focus and only $260. Word!!!

[@skotv8621]

I like your glasses.. What glasses are those ? I want em please reply 😁

[@StudioGSevenThree]

Hi, I really like your videos and the info gained from watching them, I've watched your " Entire KZbin Studio Setup ON ONE DESK!" and have purchased the set up, my question is can I use or is there a way to use my iPad Pro as a monitor? Thanks in advance for any info you can provide!

[@echolectricstudios2870]

Hey man what will be a few good monitor options for the pocket cinema camera 6k?

[@1CONOCLA5T]

I was curious to know when using the GH5 with the ninja 5 do you have to have purchased v-log in order to shoot with it or does the recorder have its own log profile internally? i'm still trying to avoid having to pay that extra $100 for something i'm not even sure ill use that often.

[@MrMilanina]

1CONOCLA5T Dude, picture profile is set in camera, not monitor.

[@florianlerch55]

Which is the best picture profile for the Sony alpha 7 III?

[@dslrvideoshooter]

I like S-LOG 2.

[@florianlerch55]

Thanks

[@quincyco390]

HI, love your videos. I am going to be using your links. Question: What monitor would you recommend for mobile phone videography? I am totally flipping to shooting on my cellphone samsung and iphone 7 and up, so wandered which you would recommend. thanks

[@syakirmohdnazri]

Nice video caleb. Just wondering, which 1 would recommend, andycine or feelworld MA5?

[@laurenthenry]

Hey Caleb, too bad that your clothes are made in the US only, for us Europeans the shipping rates are insane ! Could you find another website European based for us ? 😁 I would happily buy any if it's more affordable. Cheers from France and thank you once again for the amazing content you provide to the community !

[@davidpm41]

Caleb, just one thing i understand that you shoot your videos on the pana gh5s. But your skin is so orange, and when i saw red cable on the rodemic that was just too much saturation. Maybe is my monitor, but if not, why are you coloring this way? Your videos were really spot on with the color it looks like the ghalexa lut. Anyway great information! always fan of your videos just wanted to know why the shift in colors. Keep it up on 2019! have a great end of year with your family!

[@stevemurrayphotos]

I noticed that as well, definitely way warmer than usual but the content is spot-on as usual..

[@seamuswarren]

Is there a wearable monitor we can use in a high-glare environment? I'm thinking of a little wearable viewfinder tethered from the camera's video output so I can mount the camera at awkward angles and still maintain exposure, focus and framing. In my case the camera would be attached to a makeshift little rig at knee level and the viewfinder worn like an eyepatch or spotlight. I like to get angles from my little dog's point of view one foot off the ground or maybe three feet off the ground when tracking my young nephews at the beach or a soccer match. The camera's LCD is useless in a bright outdoor setting like at the beach for instance. EDIT: Found a review of electronic viewfinders: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIuYmaVvhJyYnq8

[@39mileproductions]

Great video, as always. Thank you! One question for you. You said that you can use the AndyCine A6 Monitor to power your camera. In your experience, has that had any kind of impact (positive or negative) on the overheating issue? Thanks!

[@eduardonery3260]

Hey man! How are you doing? Would you know if we can use the cellphone as a "monitor" using the type c-type c cable ?

[@seisenbach]

I've been debating back and forth on the focus vs ninja V for use with sony mirrorless & Fs5... what are your thoughts on them side by side for use monitoring irrelevant of the recording abilites? weight is also a factor for me with traveling for projects.

[@MrMilanina]

Simon Feelworld 729 or 729s with BP-U 30 battery. Light and 7 inches plus 2200 Nits for only $259/$339.

[@seisenbach]

@@MrMilanina I'm specifically looking for a 5" monitor for my needs. thanks though!

[@MrMilanina]

Simon SmallHD in Smallrig cage is almost as big as 7” Feelworld which is much better for critical focus, daylight environment, but If you insist...

[@seisenbach]

@@MrMilanina I wouldn't be using a cage... that'd add too much weight. My work requires me to be as light as possible.

What do you think of the feelworld master ma5 vs the Andycine? Thanks for the great review btw!

[@andycineofficial]

Thanks again

[@BryceDearden]

Did you use/try the HDMI cables included with the Andycine? Think it needs an aftermarket one?

[@dslrvideoshooter]

I usually don't use the cables that come with monitors so I couldn't tell you if it worked well... I'd try to find a good 4K HDMI 2.0 cable if I were you.

[@BryceDearden]

DSLR Video Shooter yeah it's something I just didn't think to factor in during the excitement of clicking add to cart on Amazon. Sub $200 monitor isn't as cheap if you need a $25 HDMI clamp and a $25-35 cable

[@vuiieight]

could you do a review on the atomos shinobi?

[@killernils]

You have to test portakeys monitor!

[@jonathanmasters2178]

Should’ve updated the Atomos firmware first, the menus and Interface are all different with current firmware

Alexey Feelworld 729s does, 2200 Nits...

[@TheMichaelduda]

Nice Video as always, but to much saturation!

[@HobbyHoarder]

When you're looking for options for your next comparison, take a look at BestView R7. It's just $200 and looks like all the other no-name brands, but it's actually one of the best. Touch screen, very bright, LUTs, scopes that aren't affected by LUTs, two types of false colors and tons more. Scott Dumas made a great video about it if you want to see it in action before trying it out - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5jKn2uodtVgj68
