    About This Video:
    In this video, Sean Cannell from Think Media reviews a budget camera monitor and cheap camera monitor solution for creating videos. This camera monitor setup uses either your smartphone or a laptop and is nice if your camera does not have a flip screen. You can use a laptop as a video camera monitor. You can also use a smartphone. And this video shows how to use your phone as a camera monitor and shows the camera monitor app, which would allow you to use an iPad as camera monitor. This is essentially a DIY camera monitor solution, so check out the video and leave a question in the comments section!

    Thanks for another great video, Sean! I'm just starting out on my RUclips Journey. Sadly, even though I use the latest model Nikons (D5, D850, D500) the Nikon Snapbridge app, still doesn't support live view in video mode and you can't even start/stop recording. Not to mention that none of Nikon's DSLRs have flip screens. I've heard of a few independent apps that allow you to connect a smarthpone via an OTG cable. I know you're not a Nikon guy. But I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, or better yet, see you do a video on it! Keep up the great work...

    There are two more options.

    And then there are old monitors. You cant change the settings but can basically connect any HDMI monitor or a tv that is just lying around to your camera as long as it has the output and most do.

    I started vlogging with a Leica T...but no flip out screen sucked. I had an iPhone mounted to the camera connected to the app to monitor myself....but eventually I “downgraded” to a Sony RX100 III.
    For run and gun vlogging, setting up a monitor before hitting record is a big hassle! If I were making films or in a studio doing reviews or unboxings, the app route would make so much sense!

    I'm torn between either the buget friendly Canon EOS 200D slr and the more compact mirrorless Canon EOS M6 that is slightly more expensive. They both have all the qualities I'm looking for when filming youtube content and some vlogs. Which do you prefer in this case? And from your experience is the quality between them noticable? Please help lol
