PT5 Touchscreen Camera Field Monitor Wide Color Gamut |New Peaking |LUT |Video Assist |Luma |RGB Waveform for DSLR (5 Inch)

Very good field monitor on a budget

webの写真だと伝わりにくいですがiphoneと同じくらいの大きさでさらに軽いです。 ジンバルのアームに乗せるディスプレイとして購入したため、大きく重いのは避けたかったのでちょうどいいサイズで満足してます。 モニターマウントに若干不安を感じたためsmallrigのものを別途購入しましたが、付属のマウントも軽量で十分満足できるものでした。サンシェードの取り外しも簡単でいいです。 付属のHDMIケーブルは固めのものなので、ジンバルモーターを制限してしまいます。このケーブルは別途50cm程度の軟らかいものを準備したほうがいいと思います。

I shoot the occasional talking head and solo guitar video and found the rear screen of my Canon R6 MK II too small for self-shooting. I considered a Portkeys model with camera control—touchscreen for auto-focus and other advanced features. But at nearly $400, it was a bit pricey. So the PT6 Camera Field Monitor landed on my doorstep instead. I immediately popped in a spare Canon LP-E6NH battery, jacked in the included HDMI cable, and turned on my camera. Within a few seconds, it was working perfectly in Liveview and video mode without messing around in the TAB menu. Good show! It’s petite—about the size of a smaller smartphone—and very light. It’s mostly plastic, so don’t drop it. The included metal tilt mount is okay—not great—but I have a much nicer one from Smallrig. All the menus, icons, overlays, and AF boxes show up exactly like they do on the R6 MK II’s rear screen, but larger. I have to use the camera’s physical controls to select options or move AF points. The Portkeys touch controls are only for Portkeys functions. I found the image quality of the 5.2" 600nit touchscreen to be excellent. Indeed, better than I expected. I mainly video indoors with LED softboxes, and the 600nit screen proved to be clear, sharp, and plenty bright enough. If you mainly shoot in bright sunlight, you should pay extra for a brighter monitor, but I’m pleased with 600nit for indoor use. All in all, a great little monitor for a Benjamin: easy to use, sharp and clear, petite, and silent (no fan).

For the price, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better monitor. It’s compact, lightweight, and portable, yet still packs impressive specs that make it a standout value.

So I already owned a BM5II from PortKeys for my Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 4K and I am a huge fan of that monitor. The BM5II is what turned me onto this company originally during my search for a monitor on my first camera rig. Fast forward to present day – I wanted to get another monitor that was affordable and wouldn't break the bank but allow to me semi-permanently mount it to my Ronin-S gimbal. My idea has worked out great so far, the P6 Monitor is super light-weight, it works with my NPF batteries and I'm getting exactly the usage out of it I was hoping to get. and I would consider it great general use monitor. Having this as a dedicated monitor on my gimbal allows for me to switch set-ups with my camera with ease and efficiency. In the future I plan on switching this monitor over to a handheld client monitor rig for viewing purposes or follow-focus rig depending on the shoot and it feels good knowing I can get that kind of versatility out of this screen without breaking the bank. I did mention I use this with my Pocket 4K but just in case you don't know it does not have the capability to control that camera and I knew this going into the purchase and had no expectation of it doing that, hence my BM5II purchase. PortKeys makes some great products, equally as important they have an active support and development community on Facebook that I highly recommend you join. It is cool to see all the user feedback generated on their products in that Facebook group and then typically just weeks later you will often see some of the feedback and suggestions implemented into the new firmware update. All in all I can't say enough good about this company, they are 2 for 2 for me and I highly recommend it. Pros: • Lightweight • Screen Brightness is great and gets the job done. Cons • None to date, will update if any develops but my expectations have been met.
