GoPro Hero 7 + External Monitor | Any Good ?

[@andrew_achter]

Just tested it in the same screen, no lag at all when you turn off the Stabilization. That seems to work for all frame rates and video quality settings!

[@Romafedorov]

Thanks for letting us know!

[@TOTALLYRELAXED]

Why would you want to record video with the stabilization turned off on a GoPro just to make the monitor work without lag? Forget buying this over priced monitor and just buy the Ulanzi GP-5 flip mirror [GoPro Hero 5-9] for only $9.95 on Amazon! That way you can have your stabilization AND see yourself for positioning your shots at the same time. Hope this helped.

[@Ira88881]

@@TOTALLYRELAXED Because you wouldn’t use an external monitor like this in an outside action environment...just in a studio setting. Hypersmooth isn’t needed like this at all.

[@iamjstorm6676]

thats what i was about to say

[@TheMexistang]

Not 4 seconds, more like 2000ms delay. Still bad, but not 4000ms.

[@dan01]

I bought a 4.5-inch Feelworld model 450 external monitor. I connect it to my GP 7 to shoot a Low-Budget music video. During the preview mode, there is a lag, but when you start to hit record button, it does not lag anymore. One thing I notice during composition of video scene, when I look at the external monitor for preview of scenario, it seems there is a slight inaccurate of image rendition. To combat this; I need to press the record button to get a correct image composition, or to look at the tiny screen of the GP7.

[@Romafedorov]

Thanks for the tip, I’ll definitely try it out later on!

[@b0nec4ndy]

@@Romafedorov Did that work for you?

[@JuKoHD]

@@Romafedorov did it work?

[@Arkaida100]

If you turn off Hypersmooth in video mode, the lag goes away, its due to the camera doing the internal processing.

[@ShinilPayamal]

Thanks for the video. Really interesting to see this experiment. Hopefully GoPro 8 will be better with the lagging thing...or maybe, GoPro 7 can be fixed with a firmware upgrade.

[@Romafedorov]

Yeah I hope so... But to be honest not a lot of people are going to use an external monitor with their GoPro..

[@ShinilPayamal]

@@Romafedorov Correct.

[@aenimatt]

There is only lag because he has stabilization set on auto. If he sets it to off, there is 0 lag.

[@jnoble123]

@@Romafedorov Strangely enough I am considering doing it (with a GoPro Hero8 Black). My search brought me to your excellent video. Any chance you tried this again with video on a Hero 8?

[@doktor_faust]

You didn't test if theres any change when you start filming. Also the video only option without the settings display would have been interesting.

[@carpballet]

You are asking waaaay too much from this guy

[@krishnansrinivasan830]

Thank you so much :)

[@benjaminfilinson6788]

thank you

[@muchodj]

I like this video- see this video is great because- as a Dj- at an event- I can mount go pro somewhere in venue and by me providing Dual monitors- people can see the action on the dance floor on the dual monitors- all I need is a splitter and woola!great video!

[@Romafedorov]

Haha thanks man!

[@nthkl]

Turn off hypersmooth and the lag will be resolved.

[@lordcherno]

Good video. Mon, Apr 15, 2022

[@Herian_lml]

Turn off, stebalizaer for no lag

[@Romafedorov]

Will try that!

Any updates with gopro 12 ? External monitor

[@geomatrix5452]

You didn't try it in 2K or other video modes?????

[@escooterrider1834]

The lag is huge. I wonder if it would be any different if using a smartphone + gopro app

[@Romafedorov]

I think it’s about the same...

[@cpeastvideoproduction5620]

There is only monitor lag if you have the stability on gopro turned on

[@rregan6494]

Viva Brasil

[@DeJaVufilmproduction]

It’s cos you shooting 4K dude. Reduce the resolution a bit. 4K is best but with that delay u might need to step down a bit

[@Romafedorov]

it wasn't that. The delay was because of the HyperSmooth stabilization, once I turned it off there was barely any delay..

[@DeJaVufilmproduction]

@@Romafedorov oh great.. now I know.. can u pls share little tips on how to get KZbin start giving me some income... I've been monetized since 2yrs now and no single income with and I have contents that my original contents (shot films)

[@samxpands]

Do you have any video about how to used an iPad as a monitor for the GoPro 11 with a usb?. There is a lot of delay doing it wirelessly.

[@silverismoney]

buy a usb capture dongle, pipe the output of the gopro mini hdmi (on the mediamod case) into the capture dongle. plug capture dongle into ipad, use a "usb camera viewer" app to display the video. Easy. If you don't mind 1080p then the dongles are dirt cheap, but 4K ones exist too. I do this exact setup : Gopro -> mini-hdmi output -> USB capture dongle -> usb side of dongle into a USB-A to C converter -> into tablet. My rig obscures the back screen on the gopro so I need an external monitor to make sure im getting the shots I want but I also didn't want to spend loads (already had a tablet so just dongle+cables needed) and I prefered the idea of something that's useful for other things (it's a tablet after all) while i'm not using the filming rig.

[@marlajessa3322]

Hey Sir Roma, have you try a mobile phone as a preview monitor?

[@Romafedorov]

Yes of course! It works fine but with a massive delay unfortunately..

[@CristobalorellanaSierra]

turn off stabilizer to get a better latency

[@Romafedorov]

Noted

[@Yahiaashry]

Wow.. you're very intelligent

[@Romafedorov]

Appreciate that!

[@dogmanswae2365]

Man I'm 3 years late but what cage is it that your using? I see you have a lense on there that's why I ask

[@Romafedorov]

Ulanzi Gopro cage

[@erickbazan7495]

Any monitor you recomend for gopro hero 9 black ?

[@DDFGhostHunting]

Would it all so not have lag due to the length of the cable? I had this problem with my hard drive with a super long cord

[@Romafedorov]

If you’ll disable stabilization, the lag will drastically reduce!

[@DDFGhostHunting]

@@Romafedorov that's the only point to have the 7 or 8 lol with out the Stabilization those cams are pointless.

[@Romafedorov]

I hear you. Maybe the GoPro 9 would solve this issue..

[@NutNukprach]

R u live in Thailand ? I just watched your video review ETM 001. Good video สวัสดีครับ

[@Romafedorov]

Yeah i live in Chiang Mai :)

[@joelbartor]

Do you think it will be possible to connect the GoPro 8 display mod monitor on a GoPro 7 ?? Thanks

[@Romafedorov]

I have no idea. Maybe you should ask GoPro about it..

[@Four2Tour]

Will this monitor work with Hero 5?

[@Romafedorov]

If the Hero 5 has a HDMI output, I don't see why it wouldn't work.

[@funnyanduseful2083]

What about GoPro 8? It has only USB-C connector!

[@Romafedorov]

For the GoPro 8 you’d need to buy the GoPro Media Mod in order to connect an external monitor..

[@funnyanduseful2083]

@@Romafedorov так ты по-русски наверное можешь ))). А с usb-c никак не выверить сигнал?

[@Romafedorov]

Никак.

[@Tattooniac]

maybe its the monitor or hdmi cord thats lagging

[@Romafedorov]

On my main camera I experience no lag at all with the same monitor and cables..

[@michaelaquitania3451]

Hi can Gopro 8 Black would work as well?

[@Romafedorov]

with an external monitor ? Yes, but you'll need the new Media Mod from GoPro fro that. Because GoPro removed the HDMI out on the Hero 8..

[@carpballet]

You are NOT counting seconds. Jesus h

[@TMS5100]

why bother with a huge ungainly setup like this, just get a camcorder with fully articulating screen. much more compact and capable. i tried many times and gave up. camcorder is just much better for situations like this.

[@robcab25]

Will this work on GoPro 10?

[@Romafedorov]

I don't see why not. But you'll need the Media Mod.

[@robcab25]

@@Romafedorov thanks. One other question. Is there a way to use a monitor without the need of the media mod?
