Just got here on time! I have a wedding shoot tomorrow and it just came in time and I tested it out and it works right out of the box without any settings. Plug and play. Light weight and very clear. I couldn't find one that is 1080p on this price that works as I wanted, this one does. I already have the battery since I already have multiple LED light that uses the same battery and it works. It uses the Sony camcorder battery that's easy to find.
This monitor is used with my gimbal when i take videos. it makes me see the screen clearly even in bright sunlight. It also aids if you want to know if your in focus or not. This is going to be a permanent addition to my set. just makes life so much easier. I attached a ball-head instead of the mount that came with it and now i can move my monitor any way i want it to.
Upon opening this package, I was immediately impressed. The packaging was very nice, it came with useful accessories, and was the perfect size. Below I’ll break down the pros and cons:Pros:- Screen Quality- Screen Brightness- Added Features (Zoom, Focus peaking, Image Flip, Etc)- Easy Setup- Plug and Play functionality- Weight and Build Quality- PriceCons:- Doesn’t come with battery, but most accessories don’t so it’s not a huge deal.Overall, I am very impressed with the performance of this monitor. It’s my first foray into using a external viewing solutions, and I can see why they are so useful. And for $130, I was really surprised and the screen quality as well as the features it essentially added to my camera. I used this on my Canon 80D, and it gives you focus peaking even though the camera itself doesn’t have this feature. While I haven’t used alternatives like Atomos or SmallHD, I’d be happy to recommend this, especially as it’s a fraction of the price.
Overall, it is excellent - anything significantly better will cost at least three times as much. Build quality is reasonable. The screen is great, and it is easy to view except in bright sunlight. The inclusion of focus peaking, histogram, headphone jack and false colour means that you can use cameras for video work that lack these features. For example, my Nikon D5300 does not have peaking or an audio output, and it won't even meter with old manual lenses. Adding the monitor compensates for all this and makes it into a far superior video camera. One thing to bear in mind: it may be of limited value if your camera's HDMI output is restricted to preview and playback, but does not work while actually recording.
I have a Canon M50, and the one feature I noticed it was missing was some picture assists, like zebra patterns for anything over exposed. I wanted a way to see that easily, as well move the display "above" the lens rather then the flip out to the size (I always feel it looks a bit more natural looking up rather than to the side when in "selfie" mode. This fit the bill perfectly. Great picture, feels sturdy, and does exactly what I need. The only complaint is the battery goes dead a little quicker then I would expect, nothing terrible though. And being a common battery type, it is easy enough to get others. It is nice how it comes with "Everything" you need in one "kit". I would recommend this to others.
Out of the box, this monitor comes with a sunshade, swivel arm for mounting on your camera and an HDMI cable to connect to your camera. With the 8V DC out you can get a cable which can power your monitor and camera at the same time. The construction is plastic but it is so light once mounted on your cameras. The swivel arm will allow you to flip the monitor, the image does not flip automatically but you can program one of the four function keys to help you flip the image quickly. There are several menu options with great features. It is worth the money

The ANDYCINE A6 5.7Inch 1920x1080 IPS DSLR HDMI Field Video Monitor With DC 8V Power Output arrived promptly and is well. The monitor provides the real estate for better composition, colour and white balance . I liked the design despite the absence of a touch screen which may be too much to ask for given the Andycine A6 complexity and price point. However the IPS monitor is light weight and well finished. The mounting arm adds to its utility and indoors it is sufficiently bright with the 1920x1080 definition supporting focus. The fact that you can power a GH5 is invaluable.This is a competitive product.
