finally, a very well made and presented video. I'm so SICK of all of those "run-of-the-mill" videos with the lazy-ass intros of; "hey guyz, hi-guyz, whutz-up guyz, or, hey everybody..." and ever goddamned variation and connotation of the lazy-ass intros that everybody & sister loves to use and thinks is so cool. It's not cool... it's just lazy. This young man had an Excellent presentation. His intros and outros were clean, well thought and exceptionally well presented. His demo, descriptions and presentation were exceptionally well done. His appearance could have been more professional. But he has a good onscreen presence and a fantastic speaking voice. You answered a lot of questions I had in mind during your short video presentation...Thank you.

Hey thanks Neil, it should work as long as you have a HDMI Out on your camera (which it does). Just grab yourself the right cable and a cheap HDMI capture card and you should be good to go!

With this particular app, a capture card is necessary. If you use an app like Monitor+ or SeeMo app, a hdmi to usb c cable works.

Hey, usb camera in free version doesnt show zebra and focus peaking. Does the paid version have this or will it not work at all in this solution?

@RJBaculo Ай бұрын

The paid version only removes ads. But there still wont be zebra or focus peaking, because the app's original intended use is for connecting web cams to smartphones and not really as a dedicated professional monitor app for dslr/mirrorless cameras. You would need an app like Monitor+ or Acsoon SeeMo to get those monitoring features.
