Camera Monitors & Mounts

An external camera monitor provides a larger, significantly brighter display mounted to your camera rig or gimbal:

• Enhanced Visibility: Offers larger 5.5-inch or 7-inch high-brightness screens that remain easy to view in direct outdoor daylight where built-in camera screens wash out.
• Critical Focus & Framing Accuracy: Larger screen sizes make it vastly easier to evaluate sharp focus, fine details, facial expressions, and edge-to-edge framing confidence.
• Versatile Viewing Angles: Tilts and swivels freely on mounting arms, letting you monitor shots easily when camera rigs are positioned at ultra-low angles or overhead.

Field monitors feature built-in exposure and focus assistance tools for real-time video evaluation:

• Focus Peaking: Highlights sharp, in-focus subject edges with bright coloured outlines to make manual focusing effortless.
• False Colour & Waveform: Displays precise luminance data across the entire frame, letting you set exposure accurately without relying on subjective screen brightness.
• 3D LUT Support: Allows you to load custom colour look-up tables (LUTs) via SD card, previewing finished colour grades live on screen while recording flat LOG footage.

Selecting monitor size depends on your rigging weight limits and viewing distance:

• 5.5-Inch Monitors: Compact and ultra-lightweight. Ideal for mounting on small mirrorless camera cages, handheld gimbals, and vlogging setups where keeping overall weight low is critical.
• 7-Inch Monitors: Provide a larger visual canvas for director monitoring, focus pulling, tripod studio setups, or multi-person crew viewing from a distance.

Wireless video transmitters and receivers send uncompressed video signals directly from your camera to remote screens:

• Real-Time Transmission: Transmits high-definition video over 2.4GHz or 5GHz radio bands with near-zero latency to external field monitors, directors' displays, or mobile tablet apps.
• Multi-Device Monitoring: Allows multiple crew members (such as directors, clients, and focus pullers) to view the live camera feed simultaneously on separate devices across set distances.

Proper mounting hardware and power delivery keep external monitors secured and running smoothly:

• Mounting Options: Secures to camera cages, cold shoes, or gimbals using 1/4-inch monitor mounts, articulating friction magic arms, or cold shoe swivels with pitch and tilt tension adjustment.
• Power Options: Powered using rechargeable NP-F style batteries, external V-Mount battery D-Tap outputs, or continuous DC/USB-C power inputs.
• Camera Control Cables: Select monitors connect directly to camera bodies via control cables to trigger recording start/stop functions directly from the monitor touchscreen interface.
