Video Camera Monitor

Great monitor with built-in video camera and microphone.

Shades the sun on my video cam monitor screen. I keep one (various sizes) in each camera bag.

The Magic Arm is is great for shooting DSLR Video from mounting the camera, monitor, or lights anywhere any time. I mainly use it for monitors and lights.

I bought this tool to help me mount a camera light on my computer monitor to brighten up the video on zoom calls.

2' is just the right length for HDMI monitoring on a video camera. Like the flexibility - it won't drag the whole monitor on the floor if you knock the cable unattached. It's easy to wrap around a grip arm and you don't have to worry about this thing coming loose.

I'm using this arm for an external monitor for a video camera. Was not disappointed from the second I opened it. It provides strong support for any position it is locked. So no matter where the camera is set-up, there is a position that can be locked for proper viewing of the external monitor. I highly recommend this friction arm.

Beefy support and fine tunable, allows balance of video camera and monitor with fluid drag to keep position without pan nor tilt lock, nice to keep up with subject that suddenly starts to move. I don't know about the more expensive heads with continuously adjustable balance if they do any better but the one suggestion for Manfrotto is to set the counterbalance zero point with the pan arm attached rather than starting quite biased toward the back or allow for some measure of fine tuning by the purchaser. As it is I set my monitor into a quite front heavy position to allow for video battery far enough back to allow rapid swap without camera dismount. I can see several ways in which Zero Tilt Point might be set rather than adjusting position of mounted gear. Still very pleased.

Purchased this monitor to attach to a Sony FDR ax53 video camera. I chose this one because the charger and battery was included. The monitor connects using the hdmi that came with the camera, but it'll work with an hdmi to micro hdmi cable. Right out of the box, the battery was charged at 50%, and I was able to use it right away. One thing to note, the sony camera wont allow the display on the monitor to show image during recording if it's set to 4k. Once you change the video setting to 1080, the image will be displayed during recording. Also, tested this monitor on the zoom Q8N, and it works just fine.

We needed the cable to run to a video monitor so that our camera operator can see how to frame his shots with the PIP we are adding for our live streaming of our church services. Worked exactly as expected. Very flexible.

As a BMPCC 4K user, I love this camera. I use it as a Leica-esq street video cam, with a neck strap, and an iPhone monitor. Still learning how to expose correctly for the highest quality color grade in Resolve. Absolutely love the Z Cam FB book group that has already answered every question you may have. As my BMPCC4K rig has gotten more complex to fix all its shortcomings (battery, screen mostly), the simplicity of the z cam w the wireless iPhone monitor is a breath of fresh air. My BM has become more of a studio/controlled environment cam, while the M4 is my run and gun. Main flaw - I wish there were an easier was to playback video in the field, as of now, it’s close to impossible with a WiFi connection. Other than that, loving getting to know this camera.
