Matt Kieley Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 I'm rebuilding my kit and just got the Feelworld Lut7 7" monitor mainly for the price/brightness ratio (2200 nits/$269) and it's good but it's way too big and heavy for me, even without the f970 batteries. So I'm going to return it. I'm looking for a 5" (ish) monitor that's bright enough to be visible in daylight without horrible reflections, that runs on f970 batteries but won't drain them in a short time, for the $300 range. I've read good things about the Atomos Shinobi so I'm leaning toward that. The Portkeys BM5 is intriguing but maybe a bit too expensive. I thought I'd toss it to you guys in case there's something I don't know about, or if I should just go with the Shinobi. I'm using it with Z Cam E2C.

Kisaha Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Small HD Focus? I am super happy with that, and is both smaller/lighter than the Shinobi (I think). Good enough for Mediterranean sun so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newfoundmass Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 I don't have it myself but I've heard very good things about the Portkeys monitors, since they can control most cameras (start and stop recording) and can apparently completely control all Z-Cam features and menus on them.

andjo Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 I think the best options already have been said but there's also the 6-inch version of the Feelworld one, It's slighty lighter than the 7. But I think if you have the z-cam the camera controls with the Portkeys could be quite useful.
