  • I recently purchased the A6 Plus Camera Monitor for a couple of reasons. 1. I wanted a monitor to more clearly evaluate focus and exposure. and 2. I wanted something that would give me better real time evaluation of my composition and framing of video shoots. I think the A6 Plus has helped me achieve that overall. It has some nice features of focus peaking, as well as false color. It also has good 1920x1080 resolution, supports 4K input that gives you good overall brightness at 150cd/m at 440ppi. the included sunshade is fine and works as expected and you will need it if out in bright sunlight. Also comes with a nice case to keep everything neatly stored in your bags, etc.Overall, for the price of this unit, I do believe it is a good value and has accomplished what I expected. I think it has assisted in getting better focus, better exposure, and I know my overall framing and composition have improved with just better visibility of the larger screen. I do overall recommend it for a budget camera monitor option.
  • I have recently been doing more outdoor productions, so I needed a monitor that would provide enough brightness to be seen clearly by customers, even in bright sunlight. This monitor definitely met my expectations regarding this, with 2200nit. The 4K resolution is also great. The touch screen enables you to easily adjust the volume and brightness settings and the menu is really easy to navigate.The NP-F970 battery enables you to use the monitor in a mobile way, so you can move with the monitor and adjust the focus.I wouldn’t recommend using this monitor if you have a very small DSLR camera, as it is slightly too large for this.I would say the audio is standard. Not bad but not the best out there. The audio output is normal, nothing to comment, the quality is considered standard.Regarding the waveform, I liked the RGB monitoring and the histogram but I have noticed that the brightness is slightly strong (compared to my Canon cameras). Therefore, I would recommend calibrating your camera with the monitor before adjusting the exposure during production.Last but not least, what has helped my workflow a lot is the ability to upload the LUTs directly to the monitor. Since I’ve have this, I’ve been able to preview how my video will look in post-production.
  • Since I started in the film production, I wanted to add a monitor to my equipment list to give more value to my production and clients.Using a transmitter and two NP-F970 batteries I can use the monitor from the distance where a pull focus assistant, director or your client could watch what is happening and what the camera is filming at the moment. I don’t see myself using it on top of my DSLR camera as the size makes a bit difficult to do camera movements. But for interviews or remote transmission, it will be helpful.Shooting outdoors is not an issue as it can use full brightness with both batteries, and if it runs out of battery, I can swap it, and it will still work with one battery.With the focus assistant option and the size of the monitor is difficult to miss the focus on the subject. For a cinematic and other aspect ratio options, I can choose which one I want to use, and it will make black bars allowing me to adjust the frame.One power supply input for the monitor and one output to charge the camera that is helpful in cases we are running out of battery. The HDMI output makes it easier to connect to another device for stream or even another monitor, and the last is the headphones output where allow us to monitor the audio quality while filming. Also, I can upload my LUTs and see how it will look in post-production and adjust the camera settings right for it.I could notice where I was shooting I have to adjust the brightness of the monitor to match with the exposure as it could be under or overexpose.
  • What I like:1. The screen resolution and viewing angles are really good, I have no problem nailing MF on a 35mm f1.4 lens!2. Lots of assist features built into the monitor that help with the exposure and focusing.

Lots3. Audio monitoring has no lag! On the previous model I couldn’t use the monitor jack input since it had a lag with the live. Not anymore4. 3D LUT support,[.cube] oh, this is so helpful!!! The monitor already has some LUT’s built in for slogs and vlogs and clogs, but you can add your own via the sd card slot. Soo helpful and easy to use.
  • I have to recommend this touch monitor because the quality is very good, additionally that the quick shortcuts are very easy to use, even the ease of adjusting the brightness and volume, this has helped me a lot in recent days, during a live music project where I had to check the audio of the videos and it is something I can't do with my canon 6d mark II.I really like the ease of selecting the function of which part of the image is in focus, the histogram, zone 16: 9, etc. In addition, this monitor comes a nice bag that can basically have everything that you need for example 2 batteries. Recommended especially with colours and pixels!
  • I am very surprised about this incredible monitor! The build quality and image quality is 10/10. I do recommend this portable monitor to everyone who want a monitor with ton of features.
  • Which I could control the camera through the touch screen to pick focus and other settings. But beyond that flawless can see in bright sun!
  • I have used a ton of monitors including products from SmallHD, Atomos, and others. This particular monitor offers features not found on others in this price range. First, let's talk about the build quality. It's made of a polycarbonate plastic material that makes it light weight which means strapping this 7" monitor to a camera like the A73 is possible without adding a ton of unnecessary weight. It's suitable for gimbals and shoulder rigs as well. There are plenty of physical buttons including a few customizable ones if you do not want to use the touchscreen at any time. For example, I like to disable the touch screen when out in the field to avoid smudges and smears. They interfere with the visibility and light reflectivity when in direct sunlight. So, having the option to go touch-less means less wiping down my monitor which ultimately means I have less of a chance scratching my display. Speaking of the display, it's a great. It has a crystal clean image, with pretty accurate colors, and great peak brightness. It's a pretty reflective display but it gets bright enough that it shouldn't be a problem in most scenarios. The touch OS Andycine is using is great and super intuitive. It also offers tons of customization for quickly accessing modes and settings on the fly. The modes I typically use in every shoot are false color, zebras, 1:1 zoom, focus peaking, and I also add the horizontal and vertical flip options to the quick access bar. This is because this particular monitor comes with a nice mount with a cold shoe attached to it. It allows you to quickly flip the monitor from front to back in case you're filming yourself. Having the vertical and horizontal flip options in the quick access menu allows me to ensure I'm also in correct orientation. There is also audio controls built right into the monitor which is great for cameras that don't have headphone jacks. It takes Sony L style batteries which can be picked up super cheap however it does have 1 in the box along with a charger and a travel case. I've used AndyCine monitors in the past and what I love about them is how much value they bring. They always include tons of additional accessories giving you the ability to pull a monitor out of the box and use it right away which is nice. This is the same case with this particular monitor. If you're in the market for a great 7" monitor that's for the most part day light visible and you don't want to spend a fortune, make sure to check out this one.
  • Wow! As a videographer, I’m highly impressed by the value of these wireless mics. Compared to other wireless mics these are more affordable and they come with 2 transmitters instead of one. That is way more handy then you might think. My favorite thing is how small the transmitters are. Having client where these instead of a bulky transmitter is way more convenient. The sound quality is a great and I’ve had no problems. Receiver is a clip on which can be mounted to the hotshoe or literally anywhere it can clip on. Another nice feature! All in all this comes with everything you need to get going for a fast portable set up.
  • I am very happy with the quality and convenience of this wireless system. I was surprised by how easy this was to use and how good the audio quality is. I did some testing and found that the range is a bit more than advertised as long as the receiver is within the line of site of the transmitter. It comes with all the cables needed for just about every camera. I also found that the battery life was very good and could easily get me through most video shoots.
  • The Comica Boom X-D is in my opinion the best value for money. I have the D1 version which includes one receiver and one transmitter, but they have other options that include two transmitters and one receiver too. This mic system is really easy to use. Their compact size makes them really easy to handle and hide. This system comes ready to go straight out of the box, just turn it on and you’re ready to record. Uses the 2.4 GHz system so no scanning frequencies! Unlike my Rode Wireless Go system, I am able to use two transmitters with one receiver, so if I need an additional transmitter I have the option to buy that later on down the road. You also have the ability to monitor your audio in real time as this has a headphone jack. Another feature the Rode system does not have. The battery life holds up well and the actual audio quality from this system is solid. I like that it includes the attenuated cables for specific cameras, dead cat for the built in mic and also includes a lav mic. Great value!
  • impressively low latency for a product at this price point!It very well built with all metal construction, the small size and weight also makes mounting this thing on my BMPCC rig very easy and convenient. Would 100% recommend for someone who is on a budget and needs a second view of monitor for clients or director on set!
