Feelworld F6 Plus Major Firmware Update with Waveforms and More!

[@Solarfactor]

After watching your video, I realised that you can finger scroll down to the false colour option. I was not aware of this and you've helped a man out. Thanks again, Scott.

[@AtomicPixel]

Brooooo! You’re the best! I thought I couldn’t change the quick menu so thank you so much for this video!!

[@ScottDumas]

Glad it could be helpful! Thanks so much for watching!

[@GustavoMarinsek]

Hi, I updated my Feelworld F6 Plus firmware (type C) to version 2.5.1 and the image was a mess. Now I can't go back to the previous version and I can't use the monitor. What can I do??? (I'm from Brazil, sorry for the English, translated by Google)

[@markflorentino6359]

same here mine is total gray screen with vertical stripe line i cannot see the interface. how do you fix yours?

[@GustavoMarinsek]

@@markflorentino6359 Hi Mark, Feelworld staff sent me a file to make a new update. This procedure solved my problem. Tell me your email so I can send it to you.

[@markflorentino6359]

@@GustavoMarinsek thank you so much! in advance!

[@GeologyUpSkill]

I had the same problem after upgrading the firmware. I emailed Feelworld support and they sent me a fresh copy of the firmware file. They suggested I re-format the SD card, copy the fresh firmware file to the card, insert the card into the F6 Plus and hold down the power button for about 1 minute until the power indicator flashes red. Then release the power button and wait until the indicator stops flashing (about 5 minutes). Then remove the SD card and press the power button for a few seconds to start normally. It worked for me.

I did the update but the screen software didn't work properly on the back of the blurry screen

[@CinemarioPH]

Great video very informative. Looking forward to get this field monitor soon

[@axelmario9816]

hi, can you show me ur settings for taking vertical videos? That would be great, thanks!

[@Dolcevita-i7t]

how many Bit have this monitor?

[@mariecyrielle84]

Hey! I just tried the F6 plus on my Canon M50 Mark II but I don’t have access to the camera settings on the F6 Plus monitor (such as dual pixal autofocus, ISO, f/ etc … all the Q menu basically) Fonctions I usually can access with the touch screen on my M50 Mark II. Is there something I can do? Or is there a way to have both screens in power so I can access them both, since when I'm powering the F6Plus my camera's screen turns black. Thanks !

[@Fotosyntezafilm]

Hey how do I make my vectorscope colorful I only have black and white, and I don't really know how to change it back.

[@FluFilmPro]

There is a problem. When I send the screen info from camera to the monitor and switch the focus assist on the monito, it just spreads the assist dots all trough the info graphics as well

[@nickroach7976]

has anyone else had issues importing luts? i have formatted my card to Fat32, all my files are .cube and under the requirement size. My monitor will not read the card for me to upload any luts and i am frustrated

Just purchased this monitor so interested to see if I’ll need to update it! Super informative, short and sweet vid, thanks man! 🔥

[@nikinthemud]

I just received mine and when I turned on the thing it was in False Color mode right from the start. The setting is already turned to OFF but it still shows the False Colors and the only other options I have are Type 1 and Type 2. Can anyone help? The firmware version is 5.0.2 but I looked on the Feelworld support site and the latest update was 2.5.0 or something like that.

[@DanDan-li4hr]

if the new version have usb c can I power the camera using dc output?

[@threethroneproductions5498]

Hi thanks for the video but mine didn't react to the update when i clicked on the firmware version.

[@sundersquare]

are these false colour and vector scope looking at what is displayed on the monitor or what is being recorded to the camera? Thanks :D

[@ScottDumas]

It’s been a while since I used this in all honesty so I can’t remember for sure but I think it’s what’s displayed in the monitor. You might have the option to judge it with or without the LUT though...

[@YannickAzor]

how to facoty reset ? i think i install the wrong firmware

[@sondp]

I hope they make an update to be able to change that swipe up options to our needs

[@smalltalk.productions9977]

Thanks for the effort and the sharing. Your thoughts on this monitor’s brightness level and it’s practically outdoors? Thumbs up.

[@ScottDumas]

I personally still use it outdoors unless it's really challenging light. Even with brighter monitors, glare can be an issue until you really get up there in brightness. Oftentimes I'd prefer to save on battery life though. The ease of use with this can be a big pro as well. Can't win them all at this price haha.

[@melissafestinese_fotografie]

Thank you so much! I finaly customize my quick menu 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 thankkkk youuu

[@omgedd]

Hello! How are you monitoring audio while recording? Or is the meter reading from playback? I have a Canon M50 and get nothing off the audio meter other than during playback. Thanks!

[@ScottDumas]

Hi! Unfortunately it seems like that's an issue with the M50, and not the monitor. I've never used it myself so not sure if there's much of a workaround except using headphones from the camera itself to monitor your audio.

[@RescueEMS]

I have the same issue with now 2 monitors. So it really is the M50 issue. Workaround is this $50 Amazon item: Comica CVM-AX1 Audio Mixer Adapter Universal Dual Channels 3.5mm Port Camera Mixer for Canon Nikon Sony Panasonic DSLR Camera Camcorder (Support Real-time Monitoring)

[@josecarrillocabrera2508]

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

[@miuwedding1171]

Thank you for the video. I have a question I hope you can answer. feelworld 6 can record camera screen like antom ninja 5?

[@ScottDumas]

Unfortunately it can't... just a monitor not a recorder. There are only a few recorders out there and I'd love to see more!

[@piniquesingleton6853]

How do you get the video to show up on the camera screen and the monitor at the same time?

[@ScottDumas]

I think that's just a limitation of the camera... it works with the EOS-R but not the 5DIV for example (I think)

[@piniquesingleton6853]

@@ScottDumas Oh, ok. thank you. I have the EOS RP

[@dionelleon417]

mine is already on V2.2.0 and when i put the sd card in with the monitor and hit to update nothings happens what can i do please help ?

[@ScottDumas]

If it's already on the newest firmware then you don't have to worry about it and that's probably why nothing is happening.

[@dionelleon417]

@@ScottDumas but i dont have any of the new options like i cant turn off auto flip it mess me up when im recording. Please help

[@MI-ni1ck]

awesome video mate, just a quick question - does this monitor supports 1080p with 100fps or 120fps as video input? Specs on amazon shows max frame rate is only 60fps. I've got sony a7iii and if I want to shoot a slowmo I have to use 100fps in 1080p. cheers

[@ScottDumas]

Hi! You're right it maxes out at 60 for the HDMI input but you can record in higher frame rates and resolutions while still outputting a lower frame rate through the HDMI so it works with the monitor. If the HDMI settings are on auto it should automatically work out :)

[@MI-ni1ck]

@@ScottDumas perfect. Thank you Scott

[@kingzabotv]

Would you recommend the andycine a6 plus or feelworld f6 plus?

[@ScottDumas]

I'm pretty sure they're the same monitor, just branded differently

[@SretloW]

How do you get the lcd back screen settings in the Feelworld monitor?

[@ScottDumas]

Hi! Do you mean the backlight/brightness? I think it may be in the menu somewhere but I believe you can also drag your finger up and down on the screen to adjust it.

[@TheOlmsteadWorkshop]

Anybody else having problems with the right side mounting threads? I recently purchased this monitor and the right side threads are much deeper in the plastic than the bottom threads. My small rig mount can't snug up on the right side mounting point as a result.

[@ScottDumas]

I haven't noticed that myself but I've only used the side mounting threads with the included arm to be honest. No problem with the bottom threads or the included adapter arm here. What kind of smallrig mount are you using to attach to the side?

[@TheOlmsteadWorkshop]

@@ScottDumas thanks for the reply Scott. I had trouble attaching the included bracket as well. I'm using the smallrig tilt and swivel monitor to attach it to the Ronin S which is why I'm using the side point instead of the bottom.

[@ScottDumas]

@@TheOlmsteadWorkshop Ah that makes sense then... but yeah if the included bracket is also giving you problems then something is definitely wrong. Hopefully you can exchange it or get some help from Feelworld!

[@rarehands]

Hey man, great video! I’m going to buy my first monitor and I’m mainly planning to use it mainly to better frame my shots. The small flip out screens are hard to use for me. Would you recommend this F6 plus over the F5 pro?

[@ScottDumas]

Hi! I think I would, unless you plan to use something like a wireless receiver on the back of the monitor. The pass through NP-F battery on the F5 Pro is the biggest selling point, but generally speaking the F6 Plus is a better, more full featured monitor.

[@dubdubdin]

Between the andycine a6 plus and the smallhd 5 inch ips or 5.5 inch oled, which do you think would be better for the price. The small hd’s are $300 and the andycine is $240

[@ScottDumas]

I think that they're relatively similar in many ways.. the andycine can use your standard HDMI cables though, while the SmallHD need special ones I believe. Can be annoying.

[@dubdubdin]

Scott Dumas what about the atmos shinobi? it is $300 right now

[@DelToro95]

Hey. Thanks for the video :) My ultimate question I can't find the answer to: Is this monitor usable outside, on a sunny day in summer? I want to buy it for weddings, but I'm not sure if it will be OK to use it in bright daylight.

[@ScottDumas]

Thanks for watching! It's definitely not going to be my first choice on a sunny day, the same as any other ~500 nit monitor. But, with a sun shade it could work if it's all you have. The problem with sun is that glare can sometimes cause problems that a bright monitor can't fix either. But, Feelworld does have a new monitor called the Lut7 I think which is very similar to this, larger and brighter. For a bright 5" monitor, the Portkeys BM5 has been great, but I'd also strongly consider something from OSEE ...their 7 inch 3000 nit monitors are pretty lightweight I think and just dropped in price. I use a few of their monitors and I've been very very happy with them.

[@JosephWilsonProductions]

When it is on and recording do you lose the camera display?

[@ScottDumas]

That will depend on the camera itself. Some allow for displaying on the LCD and over HDMI at the same time, some don't

[@JosephWilsonProductions]

@@ScottDumas Someone on another site said that it will make my screen on the Canon 90D go blank but then asked why I would even need it. I said it is so that I could set it up on a stand near the camera so others could view it while I monitor the camera screen. I suppose at this level I really should just be happy to have a larger monitor for my rig.. lol Thanks.

[@JosephWilsonProductions]

I am thinking about just going with the F6.

[@ScottDumas]

@@JosephWilsonProductions Haha yeah I totally get the need for viewing both screens... it is important to remember though that the monitor won't affect it at all- it's a camera/HDMI limitation and would be the same on any monitor :)

[@nigelmolines7342]

How about the latency? does it still have a slight delay?

[@ScottDumas]

Very very slight- a frame or two, but nothing more than any other monitor I've tried, especially sub $1,000

[@donnababylon]

Scott, very nice video. I have this monitor I used basically to see my image better. I have no idea what all the features mean. For example, what does the vector setting mean? Why or when would I use it? Wave form? LUT? Parade? False color? Would you consider doing videos explaining each of these features? I have been searching for these answers with no success. They are mentioned with the comment usually being “this is helpful” or “nice feature.” Thanks. Keep up the good work!

[@ScottDumas]

Hey thanks so much. And great idea for the video- I will absolutely add it into my to-do list :) In short- I don't personally use vectors much on a monitor- only in post to check color accuracy and saturation levels. A waveform is an exposure guide, like a histogram. LUTs will help to show you accurate color if you're shooting in a flat/low contrast LOG profile on your camera. Parade is a type of waveform which shows the 3 primary color exposures separately - sometimes useful to make sure you don't clip highlights when you have very strong levels of a particular color or even to make sure your colors are balanced for checking white balance. False color is yet another exposure tool to check how bright things are in your frame- since it can sometimes be hard to judge with your eyes alone. Each definitely something that could be shown better in a video though, so I appreciate the idea :) Thanks again!

[@dj-7154]

hi what is the battery life like when constantly on? duration? thanks

[@ScottDumas]

It will depend on which battery you use but with an NP-F770 for example you should get over 4 or 5 hours

[@knightime14]

This is a great video. Now I'm thinking, do I buy the F6 Plus or the Lut7? First World issues I know.

[@ScottDumas]

Haha definitely a first world issue but I totally get it... They are very similar except for brightness- so I think that will be the biggest thing- depending on your typical workflow/locations

[@dionelleon417]

My screen is crop not full like yours why is that :( ?

[@ScottDumas]

It's one of the settings in the menu, I think related to "all scopes" or something along those lines. Sorry- been a while since I made this and I have a terrible memory haha

[@General111100]

how do you calibrate the color to match ur camera(gh5)?

[@ScottDumas]

I've always just put a color chart in front of the camera and looked at the monitor and camera LCD side by side, then tweaked settings until it looked the same.

[@truonghoangnhan110]

How's the battery life and heat? I have the f5 and it gets pretty hot n use up the battery pretty fast

[@ScottDumas]

Battery life has been good for me, a couple hours off a small NP-F battery, and I've not personally had any issues with heat, at least nothing I've noticed.

[@highviewmedia2160]

Does this Feelworld monitor support full range signal?

[@ScottDumas]

I'm not 100% sure of the details on the HDMI input beyond the specs on the website, sorry. I'll see if I can find out but not sure

[@highviewmedia2160]

@@ScottDumas Just borrowed a friends Feelworld F6 Plus and I can confirm that it displays the image correctly out of X-T3 (which output full range via HDMI) This is not the case with Ninja V which also is a lot more expensive. I guess the same goes for Atomos Shinobi. I just placed an order on the Feelworld monitor. Great value!

[@ScottDumas]

@@highviewmedia2160 Awesome! Thanks for taking the time to check that. I do notice that LOG records more contrasty on the Ninja V than internally on the EOS-R too and that's likely why :(

[@RodneyCooperFilmz]

The screen looks very reflective, is that the case?

It's average for a non-matte screen I'd say. Combined with the low brightness though it could be a challenge outdoors.

Would you get this over a smallhd focus 5 ?

[@ScottDumas]

Honestly, yes. I had the focus before and I like this better overall. The SmallHD has a slightly better build quality, but this UI totally works for me, and it's easier to use with a variety of HDMI cables and external power as well.

[@JaumeMS]

I bought it recently and waveforms were alredy installed. However they are really unclear and full of dots, really far from how they look in your video..

[@ScottDumas]

Newer models probably sell with the newest firmware already installed :) The "dirty" waveforms could be due to a noisy image, possibly? Hard to say without seeing it.

[@JaumeMS]

@@ScottDumas hey, i thought it could be the no8se but it wasn't the case. The reason was that the waveform reads the camera interface and info, and the only way to have it clean is using a clean output.

[@ScottDumas]

@@JaumeMS Ah yes- if you have the info over HDMI turned on the monitor just reacts to the image overall and doesn't know what's what. If you have a button programmed to turn that info on and off quickly it could be a good way to work around it.

You should be able to choose to limit the HDMI output to a lower frame rate/resolution regardless of what you're recording in, and then you won't have any problems. It'll be the same with most monitors on the market.
