SmallHD Ultra 7 Unboxing: 703 Ultrabright Comparison

Unboxing the new SmallHD Ultra 7 monitor and comparing it to the 703 Ultrabright.

Looks like a great new monitor. Weird how it makes the old one suddenly look really 2000s. I'd be interested to see the Arri control if you have time! $500 is maybe spicy if it's kind of limited in terms of menu access, but it would help to see it in action.

It’s a solid upgrade! Agreed, $500 is so much for software and a cable lol But it’s not bad when you consider the Arri EFV is around $10k! Should help keep the Mini “mini”

@@MylesShank Yeah it should be more like $200 if you can't go into the camera menu properly. The CCM-1 is so so nice as it has access to everything in the camera, but obviously very expensive and specific to the MILF/A35. I've really been eyeing up an Ultra 5 w/ camera control for the Mini LF to do small builds with a battery belt etc. The MVF-2 is pretty heavy for this sort of thing, but is so integral to how the camera is controlled.

@@tjh__ the brightness on the CCM-1 is about half the brightness of the Ultra and Ultrabright monitors too which is a bummer. If it were cheaper, I would probably consider it. The Ultra 5 with control is so nice. I‘ll eventually pickup an Ultra 5 but for one-man op scenarios, the 7” screen is nice for grabbing focus when I don’t have an AC.

handsome unit!

It screams rip off unless you’re using it with an arri or camera that’s in 90k range!
