    I must confess I have not used an external monitor so far. I use Monitor+ instead. Usually with my phone to temporarily check focus and to use false color. I love that I can also use touch focus with it. I recently bought an iPad so I'll try it on there, as well. Of course I see the necessity for a monitor if you run and gun a lot or if you want to use your phone to control a slider etc. but so far I couldn't justify the expense for a device I would only rarely use.

    Thanks Jason! Considering picking this up for my A7IV. My only concern is it apparently doesn’t support 4K 60.. Do you lose your video feed in 4K 60, or does it just playback at a lower frame rate?

  • @RaymondToms
    @RaymondToms Год назад

    Agreed. I also use Monitor+ (far more control than the Creators’ app that Sony force you to use after V2.0 firmware on the A7 IV). Touch focus is great, though I have yet to make Focus pull work for my lenses. Also has the Grey scale focus peaking. Will save the $650 for a Portkeys LH5P ii, for now. And, it does not need to be tethered by HDMI to get the video signal!

      I got this monitor and the touch focus is more than usable for relatively static shots. But I wouldn’t rely on it for tracking, etc. It’s very useful when you have the camera in an overhead shot rig to set initial focus.

    You ever heard of monitor + for the a7iv? Very cheap way to record to your phone. $18 for many pro features and low latency and an iPhone monitor. Works pretty well I like it. A good test to see if you want to get an actual monitor or just save your money for casual use

      I have the Weebill S and you can attach a NATO rail via Arri rosette on the side of the gimbal. I recently used this to mound a secondary grip, but I have seen many setups where they add a monitor instead. Is there something similar for the Weebill 3?

    8:26 you are talking about the focus touch feature isnt working really well. But did you tried that out with the Sony FX6? Cause to be honest, after the firmware update, it is possible to use the touch focus on the FX6, but it is not as good as on the A7s3 for example. At least that is my impression. So again, did you tried that out on the FX6?

    I still have some issues getting the wifi controls to work with my fx3. HDMI is providing the camera picture. Then I do the pairing with the cameras wifi (2,4GHz). The fx3 is listed under “my devices” in the monitor but seems to be not correctly connected since the camera+wifi symbol on the right side of the monitor screen isn’t yellow as to indicate it is connected. It’s still white… so the touch controls aren’t working… both camera and monitor are on the newest firmware. Any ideas? I would highly appreciate it!

    I use the BM5 (the LH5P's big brother) same UI and functions. I chose it for it's camera control capabilities and it's a bit of a let down in that department. I can't fault the build quality, but the UI is pretty clunky and unintuitive and the camera control functions feel like an after thought, additionally the colour accuracy is rubbish, even when you try to match it to your inbuilt screen, the controls for colour and contrast leave a lot to be desired. I never change exposure settings on the monitor, the controls are poorly implemented, the record button is the only "nice to have" and really the only camera control I use. The big let down is the lack of focus functions.. if the UI was like a blackmagic camera and AF touch operations functioned like the inbuilt screen it'd be awesome, but the UI is worse than Sony's first gen menus unfortunately. Great build, good built in functionality, average screen, terrible UI.

    The main feature of this monitor is that you can control your camera via WIFI. And it supports touch to focus on Sony cameras (though you dont see the tracking rectangle and you just have to guess). My main gripe with this monitor is its interface which is kind of ancient and not very user friendly. I already send suggestions to Portkeys - GUYS you need to make all camera parametrs visible as a separate layer on top of the main video feed. Like in Sony app for the smarphone. Not on the sides which leads to reduced picture viewing frame. And it looks ugly as well. Use some modern design language for your interface please!

    After using it I would describe it as pretty much useless for users of S-log3, since rather than displaying the actual ISO, it just says "AUTO" rather than giving a numeric value: due to this when the ISO clips below 640, you are completely unaware of it, unless you're staring at the smaller monitor, which completely removes the purpose of this monitor if you're constantly having to check your camera's monitor, especially outdoors. I'm saying unless this problem is fixed in a firmware update its a 100% waste for 10-bit Slog3 users.
