Just was thinking about moving up to Portkeys for my Pocket 4 from some low end Feelworld field monitor. Having camera control seems like a real game changer!
@Altcine8 ай бұрын
Yeah it's cool. I still prefer buttons but that's probably because no monitor had something as responsive as the video assist.
@Superjeanmarc8 ай бұрын
Looks very promising. Thanks for the review, I can't believe Portkeys doesn't have a presentation video on their website.... I really hope they soon offer this update to all of their monitors, I have the BM5 III which is theoretically more professional but I feel they do not offer much support for this series. Camera control via Wifi is unfortunately not available either. Thanks again,

This is awesome! I thought MOVNORM was a new monitor brand-- not a well-received update to my PT6! The new firmware is snappy and much more intuitive than the last version, though I wish more of the sony control features worked with the R5C.
@Altcine8 ай бұрын
Yeah it's great when brands do this but would have been nice for some older ones. So canon is a bit limited?
@aaronalva698 ай бұрын
@@Altcine yes- for the PT6 to R5C connection the camera option menu is non-existent. Even if the PT6 had wifi/BT I’d imagine it would also be a canon-side problem. The R5C only has wifi in photo mode as it’s not built into the cine firmware yet (nonsense!) and even then its not likely canon would open up the connection for 3rd parties. Still, the monitor tools work just as well as they did before and snappy to navigate so I’m happy. I’d also say, the color and gamma seem to be more accurate in the new firmware- comparing the color to the camera screen it was spot on, where with the old firmware I had to tick the temp and tint a few points to where it wasn’t a noticeable shift.
