UPDATE 1: On the NW759, you can avoid the "HOLY BALLS!" experience and just use the arrow buttons to adjust the volume. Special thanks to you guys for the heads up! UPDATE 2: Added eBay links as some of the monitors have better pricing there.

DSLR Video Shooter please answer: Does the Viltrox DC-70 HD have these lines so you can check if everything is in the frame with cinematic bars? Because I often do a 2,35:1 or 2,55:1 aspect ratio in post.

Great overview! I bought the Feelworld F7 a few months back and it has been one of my best gear purchases (Although the auto power on is insanely annoying). Wish I would have known about the Bestview S7 before buying it as it seems to address a lot of the issues I have with the Feelworld F7. I'm also pretty jealous of the Viltrox DC-70 build quality and that super fast flip out sun shade. Feelworld F7 sun shade is kind of annoying and there's nothing to protect the screen when you put it away like with the Viltrox. One thing to note is that I think most if not ALL of these have terrible cold shoe mounts. My monitor fell off 4-5 times during a recent shoot in India. Got back to the US and immediately replaced it with a Manfrotto 492LCD micro ball head that is SOLID. And to make a long comment longer, the GH4 and GH5 have terrible latency over HDMI no matter what monitor you use. I tried to use my GH4 to send to a projector for a live event so people in the back could see better and the video was so delayed compared to the live audio over the speaker system that it was making it look like a bad kung-fu movie hahaha.

EposVox why can't the g7 use a monitor?

@mrpauldavidson 7 жыл бұрын

Magivisual Studios I mean you can, but it turns off as soon as you start recording.

@EposVox 7 жыл бұрын

Yeah. It's part of the price disparity they needed to put in between the G7 and GH4 mainly. But the G7 records 4:2:0 internally and outputs 4:2:2 to HDMI so it can't do both at the same time. It can use a monitor, just not while recording, which makes it kinda useless.

@Sneaky-Sneaky 7 жыл бұрын

EposVox you can use a monitor if it has a builtin recorder.....like the BM video assist. This turns out to a benefit as most cameras put out a better higher bitrate signal through their HDMI ports than what they can process internally..... the BM video assist is currently on sale for $395....

@EposVox 7 жыл бұрын

Yes but a $400 video recorder plus storage is a much more significant investment than a cheap $100-200 monitor that I can use with multiple cameras, etc.

Thanks for the time, money and effort you put into making this video, Caleb! Some questions: 1. If I am primarily getting a monitor like these primarily for drone use, how much of an issue is the lag problem? 2. Have you tried the Elvid SkyVision 7" On-Camera & Aerial Imaging LCD Monitor? 3. On the specs for it, the brightness isn't measured in NIT, but rather in cd/m². How does that compare to NIT (better or worse)? Thanks in advance for taking the time to answer these. - Christopher (The American Photographer Down in Brazil).

I went through a couple of monitors before I finally broke down and bought the SmallHD 502 and I haven't looked back. The SmallHD is a miracle on set, being able to view a LUT while shooting LOG has given me total confidence when exposing and shaping light. The Software, accessories, and build quality cannot be matched.

If you do these again in the future, I would recommend filming a slate with a time code display (or a tablet / with a timecode app) so you can see just how much of a delay there actually is.

If not I'll just get the best view but being that I'm getting into cinematography I feel like that level of latency may trip me up.

Hey - neat review. In 2018 have you yet found the best 5 inch monitor with the least amount of latency? Not only in video but in audio, I do mainly narrative short films and interviews and the latency on a recent monitor I tried was so bad it was like an echo in my headphones and far too distracting to be useful. This was also feeding back into my GH4 camera even though I was in Real Time Sound and not REC sound. Any tips or suggestions please?

Hi Caleb, great review. I have had the Viltrox 5 inch, the musthd (The 720p version), the aputure VS-2 (Not the 1) sold them all and now i have the SmallHD Focus. I know its much more expensive but you should review it. Thanks to the amazing OS (waveform LUT etc) no lag, and 800 Nit i get much better exposed images, and it feeds the sony's for hours! amazing monitor totally worth it. Cheers
