A Detailed Look At Feelworld F6 Plus - Best Cheap Touchscreen Monitor

[@garrettsammons]

THEY FIXED (almost) EVERYTHING!! The new firmware has waveform, vector-scope, nine grid, and false color! Here's a link: feelworld.ltd/blogs/news/feelworld-f6-plus-firmware-update-latest-version-1-1-0-upgrade

[@FilipeSilvaStudios]

One question, in case you are shooting on 4k 50p, does it still work? is there a way of recording with that but send a lower signal over hdmi or something? (GH5 here)

[@jamskof]

apparently the fix is currently only for the NON type c version.. hopefully the type c version update is soon

[@vicsiiz]

Hello, tell me does it support 4K 30fps display? with Lumix S5. Thank you

[@illmaticvisualproduction247]

My main thing is changing the aperture while on the go ? Unless I’m missing something?

[@TankBuilders]

“This is a 5.5” monitor, which makes it bigger than a 5” monitor” - pure genius.

[@garrettsammons]

😂

[@Yaedon]

Thought the same thing.. like okay 😂

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

I've sat through a few videos on Feelworld monitors and you've litterally sold me on the F6 Plus - Thank you for putting in such a thorough walkthrough as I've been tossing and turning about which budget monitor to buy and you've sold it to me! Keep up the good work man.

[@garrettsammons]

Glad you found it helpful Chris!

[@alexeijajkun]

Hey man, I am currently about to purchase it! What do you think about it when you bought it until now? Has it treated you well ahah

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

@@alexeijajkun Its a great monitor, lp-e6 batteries do not last very long, but the Sony batteries do. its not overly bright for outdoor use, but I use it all the time for my KZbin videos to check composition and make sure my lighting works with my luts.

[@Solarfactor]

It's only a matter of time before Feelworld add a recorder to their range of monitors.

[@liamhewitson417]

Bloody Brilliantly done job. Your about the only person I have seen who took the time to - explain - whats what not just go over it. The words...What this is for make all the difference in a review! Got my subscription mate for sure

[@andersnymannwejse3347]

Hi! I just recived my f6 plus, and Im overall satisfied with the monitor. But everytime I do a quick pan or tilt it seems like the monitor has a hard time refreshing the image. The small objects will start pixelating or split into small lines. Have you guys experienced the same or is my there something wrong with my monitor? :)

[@MatthiasLenardt]

Really good presentation! So, I'm waiting for mine. Time to get a larger picture 😉 Much love 💕 Matthias 👋

[@keith2599]

Everything included, But no good to us if you can't alter iso and shutter from the monitor on the fly' You still have to do the messing around thing again with camera for settings, But really enjoyed the video dude...

[@garrettsammons]

If you want camera control, check out portkeys. They make a monitor or two that has camera control.

[@FfilmiauFflur]

I have just upgraded to this monitor from the F5. One thing that I miss on the F6 is the option of having zebra displays as well as focus assist available at the same time. It only seems to be one or the other...

[@gregoryedwards959]

Just ordered the Feelworld F6 Plus from Adorama today... Black Friday 2019. $129! That’s a pretty good price for this monitor.

[@meekacumen]

this is a great video and i have subbed and liked it. however, i bought this monitor and i found it not good. i used it on a canon r5 and the monitor is not bright enough outdoors to check focus. the focus assist was not reliable either. the canon R5 does not display the exposure meter on the external monitor when you have the display setting on "display both screens" when you choose the monitor as the only screen to be displayed, you then lose the ability to touch the monitor and focus. Plus you get all the focus assist lines focusing on the canon on screen display icons. its very distracting and annoying. so the faults of the freeworld f6 plus are that the focus assist was unreliable and the screen is very dim. In darker situations you will not be able to view your subject. This with unreliable focus assist made it unusable. i found the canon r5 monitor much better, more detailed and sharper. i have now decided to ditch the whole idea about an external monitor and learn to work with what i have. i hope this helps someone.

[@garrettsammons]

Hey Meek, 500nit a is definitely not a daylight viewable brightness. At least, not easily. I wish this form factor monitor was made with a >2,000nit brightness. In terms of the focus assist, there are a couple things that might help. First is to make sure your firmware is fully up to date. After that, you can adjust the sensitivity and color of the focus assist to best match your shooting environment and camera settings. I’ve found that to be extremely helpful in dialing in the exact focus marking I want. Hope this helps 🤙

[@olgadekell]

Great video 🎥! I've got a similar one to yours but mine also has USB-C POWER input option (as well as batteries) which is really handy - @ .

[@helmeteye]

Lol. That thing you have after "great video" looks like a smudge and had me scraping my phone. I'm just glad the picture moves and let me know it was in your post.

Would you be able to review the Andycine X7 (2200 nit) and the Bestview R7 ? The Bestview is a (1000 nit) touch-screen monitor with waveform feature, etc. Thanks!

[@garrettsammons]

I can ask them if they’d want me to look at it. I’ll let you know if they come through.

[@kevinocampoo]

Hi, friend. I bought this monitor a few days ago. I notice that when filming the screen overheats. Did you have the same scenario with your monitor? I want to know if this is normal.

[@FishingWithBradders]

Can you tap focus using the touchscreen, for example because on canon using a monitor disables the camera LCD

[@iangubbins]

Just an fyi for anyone who wants to shoot at 60p but nothing comes up on the monitor. Go into your cameras menus, go to 4k Movie Output and set it to record 4k to your SD card and HD to HDMI out. This sorted my output when I was in 60p 4k on my XT3. Hope this helps!

[@BertrandNathanaelJean]

Im sure I'm not the only one having this problem, how the hell do i lock the screen so when i flip the camera the monitor doesn't flip as well ?

[@Silverstone_Studios]

Does it support full screen shooting at 1080?

[@marcelolagos8607]

Amazing youtube channel man. You are a very eloquent speaker. Thanks for sharing your great knowledge!

[@garrettsammons]

I appreciate that!

[@helmeteye]

The little LED light is good for letting you know the monitor is getting power. For instance, when I plugged it in the other day I was not getting the screen was black, but I could see the screen with getting power. On a side note, I still don't know why the screen was black at the time. It scared me because I thought my camera output was bad. That turned out not to be the case, but the little LED light let me know the monitor was getting power.

[@MichaelEllisPoet]

Every time I hit record it goes Black and says Recording in Progress. As in I cant use it in RECORD mode...Explain please..

[@melodychest9020]

He comes up with the most important point at the very end .. how lovely!! Deal breaker!

[@ronshephard9429]

They must have upgraded the Sunshade as mine came with velcro attached to the hood and the frame.

[@AndrewBonicaRR]

Just got this on Amazon for a Lightning deal at $!52! Was looking at the F5 Pro V2, but I doubt I'll ever attach anything like a wireless HDMI, so having the two battery options on this was a bonus! Arrives tomorrow! 🤘😜

[@annaculinarealtor]

Can you please explain what the heck is the difference between false color Type I and Type 2? Thanks

[@CliftonMoore123456789]

When you choose the LUT during filming will that LUT that you filmed in transpose into the editing software i.e. iMovie, Premiere Pro, etc.?

[@garrettsammons]

Not on its own. You can load luts into Premiere and apply them to footage. This monitor uses luts to preview what the final look will be without ruining the LOG you're filming in.

[@ilyasguner2267]

​@@garrettsammonscan we upload our own luts?

[@mariecyrielle7350]

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 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 camera. Is there something I can do? Thanks !

[@garrettsammons]

Hi Marie! Some cameras have an “active display” option you can enable when connected to HDMI. Other cameras don’t allow active displays when HDMI is connected. I’m not entirely sure about the M50mkii but I’d check your settings to see if you can turn that on.

[@BadKarma714]

@@garrettsammons so that's a firm 'yes' ??? The no wfm was a deal-breaker, until you mentioned firmware updates! I paused the vid and went straight to the comments, just hoping someone would have good news such as this.

[@dailyguitarvlog1614]

Wonderful and informative video. My trouble is, I just bought the Feelworld F6 Plus Monitor hoping to use it to monitor shooting video with my D3400, when I hook it up, it will only play whatever is on my SD card & it won't show anything when I push the Live button and or it only shows the play back options for the SD card? Is the camera not able to be used with an external monitor? Is there a specific setting or update on software? Thank you for any help you can give.

[@garrettsammons]

Usually that comes down to an HDMI setting in the camera. I found this online: www.nikonusa.com/en/learn-and-explore/a/tips-and-techniques/using-an-hdmi-recorder-and-external-monitor-with-your-hdslr.html

[@la.uralox]

I’m currently having the exact same problem with my Nikon D3200. It only shows the SD card not the Live View. Did you figure out how to get it working? EDIT: Just worked it out! 2 years too late but maybe it could still help. In the HDMI settings within your camera, turn ‘device control’ OFF. That instantly showed the picture on my monitor :)

[@sss-ts3of]

newbie here. didnt even know there was there was a thing as a wireless transmitter ^.^

[@antoniawildmedia]

Really good video. Thanks! I've just bought one of these after hours and hours of research and it's definitely the best in its price range. I was just baffled about how to power the thing as the instruction leaflet was really poor!!! So you've helped me to solve the mystery somewhat- one question please- Any idea which power lead is needed to power it directly if not using batteries please?! Confuuuuused! Thanks again : )

[@garrettsammons]

I always use a dummy battery to power monitors off external power. You Dan get either NP-F or LP-E6 dummy batteries for nearly any type of output. Keeps things tight and lightweight.

[@antoniawildmedia]

Thanks for this. I'm a noob and just bought an updated version, so this video really speaks to me. A lot of what you say still applies. Side comment: I grew up in the islands and wore a toque religiously as a Bob Marley fan, so your headpiece has an OG feel for me. Not sure what your motivation is but you rock it well.

[@dailyguitarvlog1614]

Hi Garrett, after I watched this video the other week I ordered the F6+.I may have got ahead of myself. I just received it and it comes with a micro hdmi cable and my camera (low level D3400 Nikon) only has a Mini Hdmi on it. I also didn't take note that shipped this monitor does not come with battery or power supply, A pet peeve of mine. Either way, I'm hopeful and found a 12v adapter and now just need the mini hdmi, to see how it looks. Thanks again for this video, it's my go to as I set this up.

[@garrettsammons]

NP-F batteries shouldn’t be too expensive. I use the Watson batteries on B&H. Much cheaper than the name brand ones.

[@kokosongolo4751]

Does this monitor have external recording?

[@scottvillalobos8453]

Would have been nice for you to demonstrate the focus peaking. My biggest problem with Feelworld monitors is the focus peaking - not nearly as good as on Atomos.

[@garrettsammons]

You can adjust the sensitivity of focus peaking in this to make it more or less visible on screen. That said, I agree. The focus peaking in atomos monitors is fantastic!

Hi, I am wondering if it's bright enough to use outdoors in direct sunlight with the sunshade. I need a field monitor for a dance recital and need something that's bright. Thanks.

[@travel_and_photography]

Probably you can zoom in while checking photo aftershot, but can you zoom in the screen while taking photo to check focus accuracy?

[@STAG162]

one thing that irks me about this is that I can't control the camera from the monitor like I can via the touchscreen VF (viewfinder) on my Canon M50. sure, I can alter settings on the up/down/left/right/OK buttons on the back of the camera and that'll come through the monitor sweet, but I can't control those 'touch' settings (like controlling a focus point for a shot) on the monitor like I could on the VF touchscreen. I've tried remedying this in the settings of the camera but it seems like it's a no-go. pretty sure the rest of the Canon suite (R series DSLRs, etc.) are in the same boat. the rest is pretty solid and you've pointed out some things I've overlooked.

[@garrettsammons]

I think the only monitor I know has camera control like that is from Portkeys.
