Is the SmallHD Ultra 5 too big and heavy?

I've been using the SmallHD Ultra 5 for about a year now and while it's a great monitor, it is really big for a 5 inch on-camera monitor. To the point that in some setups, I've just been using my 7 inch monitor instead.

My full R6 Mark II rig with handles, mic, V mount battery and the Cine 5 on top is only about 6lbs for the entire rig... works for my needs, and it's the best-looking screen I've ever used for its form factor and size.

hi. great review. I love mine. I shoot surf videos and the brightness is great. I only need 80% brightness and does not need the max brightness. yeah it's heavy and it gets very hot. and quite expensive. I wish they would release software for burano.

It's absolutely a great monitor and seems like a great fit for the Burano or any other similarly sized camera. But it wouldn't be my first choice for a camera like the Canon C70.

why not just get an easy rig with that setup?

Very helpful video. Thanks for making it. I also have a c70 which I use for run and gun. I also have the 501 with a sun hood and it does indeed struggle quite a bit (especially during an Australian summer). Do you have any recommendations for another monitor? Do you think the Indie or the mid-range would be acceptable regarding the additional weight (since they already have battery connections on the back)? Thanks.

What is that accessory under your Mac Studio?

[@nickhaidet]

It's the Satechi Stand and Hub designed for the Mac Mini and Mac Studio. I was looking for a cleaner looking USB-C hub to give me some USB-A ports and this fit the bill perfectly and works great. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1809627-REG/satechi_st_gmmshs_stand_hub_with.html
