thefactory Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 https://www.smallhd.com/community/focus-monitor Don't find the look of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juxx989 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I like the size and the fact that it boosts your whole systems power capacity is cool.. but for that price Id be looking at a Used BM 4k Assist. webrunner5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaime Valles Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 The swivel mount is a brilliant addition. Can't believe nobody else thought of that before. This looks mighty interesting... webrunner5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webrunner5 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 How many Nit is it? Doesn't really say. 2 to 3x brighter, well ehh what does that mean. Sounds like what i am looking for on my AF100. Price is within reason if Nit is above 1000. Anything below that sucks for daylight. And that is 95% of what time people shoot. 1 hour ago, Juxx989 said: I like the size and the fact that it boosts your whole systems power capacity is cool.. but for that price Id be looking at a Used BM 4k Assist. Very true, and it is a Recorder also! Hmm 800 Nits, not bad, but not good for daylight. I would go for the used BM 4k Assist then! What 600 Nits? Why the hell is Nit value such a god damn factory secret?? Pisses me off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inazuma Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 800 nits is very good. The average computer monitor is only 300. The BM video assist 4k has poor viewability outside from what ive heard Kisaha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronChicago Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 The SmallHD 702 Bright is 1000 nits and it's plenty bright enough for outdoors. 800 is pretty good for that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregormannschaft Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Think this might be my first monitor. Looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Forsman Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 anyone know if it's a 1080 screen like the 502? or is it 720 maybe? Jaime Valles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hijodeibn Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 The monitor really looks great, I would love to have one, but for that money probably is better to add more and get a 4k external recorded.... webrunner5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I like the look of this. Ships in June, reviewed to death by August, decision imminent September. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonpais Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 My main reason for wanting to purchase a monitor in the past was for the exposure aids (waveform monitor, false color, etc.) and to be able to see the composition more clearly, but lately, I really feel the need for something with better color accuracy than the LCD on my G85. It's a total guessing game. Lately, I've been bringing home the goods more often than not, or at least 100X closer than I used to, but I'd like something with excellent color accuracy, something I don't read too much about. For example, over the weekend, I shot some footage in the Chinese market and at a temple here in Saigon, the images looked rather bluish on the LCD, but when I get home, I see I pretty much nailed the WB. I'm tired of second guessing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff CB Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Pre-ordered it, worth it to have a better battery and S-log viewing LUT on my a7r II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirozina Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Looked at it but it's not significantly brighter ( I.e usable in sunshine) than my VideoDevices PIX-E which is also a recorder. They also have a 2200 nit ultrabright which will be usable in sunshine but it's £2500... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelsinkiZim Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 IMO monitor+recorders were circumventing the internal codec-crippling that camera manufacturers were/ are doing to preserve product lines. Instead of 4.2.0, you got 4.2.2, or 4K... or RAW. But that was sooo 2016! I think monitor recorder hybrids will be obsolete soon, as Panasonic is kinda forcing everyones hand to bolster their internal codecs. Everything (in our age) trends to free...(or at least cheaper...)... This is a smart move by SmallHD and I imagine other folks (nudge, nudge Aputure) come out blazing with a 5 inch with better specs. The monitor should be a welcome addition, and not the star of the show... The camera should do a better job than the apparatus you plug into it.

I was thinking that this could possibly replace the Ursa Mini (expensive) EVF if you get this and the SmallHD Sidefinder... as an Ursa owner, what are your thoughts?

Yes, Panasonic is making external recorders obsolete so you can afford to purchase one of their $800.00 SD cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sidefinder only works with the 501/502 (I think they're 500 NIT) and is quite bulky. When using it you have a lower rez (720p I think) and I read some reviews that were not too impressed by distortion and light leaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
