- In today’s episode we review a 2,200 nit 7” monitor I use for my livestreams from FEELWORLD. They make the LUT7 in both HDMI only and HDMI + SDI models at an affordable price. The monitors support all of the best exposure, color, and focus tools like waveform, RGB parade, vector scope, RGB histograms, false color (in two varieties), zebras, and focus peaking.

As always, great review Curtis!
Without repeating yourself and things you said! Straight to the point!
Thank you!
Thanks Flavio!
Great video as always, so many people underestimate the needs for an external monitor
Thanks WORTH IT OR NOT?! Agreed. My eyes catch so many more issues before they become issues with a 7" or larger monitor vs. camera monitors.
Life saver! I was struggling (attempting to bring in via hdmi and out via sdi.) I mean, I struggled for hours trying to switch settings in my camera and on the monitor. LOL. I watched your review and you said those magic words. Thanks for sharing..
👍
I don't have this exact model, but got to say Feelworld is stepping up their game. I love their monitors. Affordable and does the job :)
But if you see the review from Damian Brown..He gets the battery indicator on his screen?
Interesting! I don’t see anything in the menus to toggle that on or off. Maybe I have an older firmware version.
@@curtisjudd If you see from here at 4:43 czcams.com/video/8M84Sd2ykd0/video.html
Feelworld seems to be stepping it up. The build quality still looks low-quality but its nice to see SDI on an affordable monitor.
Agreed, was surprised to see an SDI option along with the high bright feature at this price.
Thank you for this review. I just received my LUT7 (no need for SDI at present). Sunny day today so I tested this today as a field monitor, it is certainly bright enough for outside use. I will be buying a metal cage for the LUT7, I do not like how the supplied bracket bends when installing and removing batteries.
Great to hear it works well for you!
Great review as always 👍
Thanks!
Dope. Thanks for the video. Looking to get one now.
👍
I'm glad that the Feelworld monitors are getting some attention. I have the 7" 4K Ultra-Bright monitor (no touch screen) which is fantastic in the bright Australian sun, as well as the F570 (low brightness) monitor. My SmallRig cage for the 7" makes it very rugged. I just wish Feelworld would produce a ~5" Ultra-Bright monitor and I could then retire my Atomos Shinobi (which I hate). And thanks again for your earlier assistance.
👍 I bet there's something in the 5-6" range with high brightness coming soon.
@@curtisjudd I really hope that there is one coming. I've found them to be in a kind if sweet spot for quality/features vs price.
@@AustralianImage what dont you like about the Atomos Shinobi?
The image you are playing on it here, looks great. It seems the ones with an external recording are cheaper and better than they used to be - win , win I guess.
👍
Thanks for the review Curtis.
How responsive and fine detailed are the scopes and waveforms? Some monitors include the feature but it doesn’t seem to update smoothly for every frame of incoming video and can be blocky this can mean you miss things like subtle high frequency flicker.
Also I see you can have image and scopes up at the same time, but is it possible to have false colour and scopes at the same time?
Not as fine grained as I would like though on my copy, they did seem responsive. Once False color is turned on, the scopes automatically turn off.
Hi Curtis. Thank you for another great review. As a smallHD users with aging eyes (lol) I was thinking of getting this to replace my Focus. I have 2 questions nobody has addressed in the 4 reviews I've watched so I thought I'd ask you.
1) is there any way to pivot the monitor to the side (I'm often standing next the the camera...not directly in front or behind).
2) Can you set up a shot from behind and then complete flip the monitor over on the arm for these talking head shots (and if so, will the monitor automatically flip and reverse the image like the SmallHD)?
Thanks in advance and have a great weekend.
Hi Baby Back Maniac, Thanks. 1) yes, depending on the friction arm or cold shoe mount you use, but yes, just turn it to the side. 2) It can be flipped, but it is not automatic - you have to manually go into the menu and flip it. I don't think this would be an upgrade across the board from the SmallHD Focus except for maybe the size of the screen.
Curtis Judd Thanks Curtis. That’s really helpful. You may have save me a lot of money. Have a great weekend
Looked nice and priced well. I just have too many older monitors not being used.
Best to stick with what you have, especially if they're not getting a lot of use. 👍
Insteresting, at 3:47 a very simple approach to loading LUTs into the monitor. Many people are intimidated by LUTs, but if it's this simple to use them, LUTs may actually catch on!
I know that MAKING LUTs in Davinci Resolve is as simple as: 1. Select the "Color" workspace 2. Adjust ("grade") the color (the hardest part) 3. Click on the clip thumbnail 4. Right-click 5. Select "Export LUT" (or something like that)
So then, after that, a user would simply copy and paste the LUT onto a memory card and be ready to use it in this monitor😃
👍
Hey Curtis - Thanks for the stellar review!
What are your thoughts on the sharpness and overall video quality of the display? I have an entry-level Aputure VS2 monitor now that is really not helpful at pulling perfect focus. I am looking for a nice affordable monitor that will help me pull perfect focus for interviews and most importantly I need to be able to see a crisp clear image that shows my subject is in focus on the monitor screen. Can I achieve that goal with this monitor or do you think I would be better served by buying a more expensive monitor?
Hi Natural Focus Digital, I had the VS2 some years ago as well. This one is very sharp - 323 pixels per inch, way brighter, tack sharp image. The focus peaking is sensitive enough and configurable enough to help with focus pulling.
@@curtisjudd - Thank you for your response. This is very helpful. If I end up buying this monitor I will make sure to use your affiliate link. Please keep the great reviews coming our way. I really get a lot of useful information out of your channel. Your work is much appreciated.
Hello Curtis. I hope you are well. As always, I appreciate your fantastic videos. I am a teacher (learning) how to teach online, and I have found your videos to be among the best I've found. So Thank you!
Question: I have the Atem Mini Pro Iso and I'd like to run the HDMI output to the LUT7 to see the Atem's Multiview in the LUT7 Screen. Is that possible? (I just want to verify before the purchase). Thanks for any info/help and have a great day.
Hi Prod, yes, you can send the HDMI output from the ATEM to the LUT7S. A 7 inch screen is a little small-ish for the multi-view, but it definitely works.
@@curtisjudd Thanks Curtis! I appreciate the feedback. I did think the 7-inch screen might be a bit small, but with my limited space I think i can work with the screen (hope so anyway). Plus, I am excited to get to know how to further use an external camera monitor. Eventually I am interested in getting a Atomos Ninja (or something similair) -but for now, I think the Feelword LUT7 is a good launching point (for me). Have a great day, and thanks as always.
Great timing for this review! Was just about to pull the trigger on a Shinobi for my GH5.
How accurate is the focus peaking on the LUT7S? I currently have a 5" Feelworld monitor and the focus peaking isn't that accurate at all. It seems to have a wider tolerance when indicating focus than what it should. A lot of my shots came ouy burry but were indicated as in focus by the focus peaking.
Was going to go with the shinobi but this may be a better option for me.
Lastly, I'm really appreciatig your reviews. Definitely helped me with numerous gear purchases over the years.
Hi Mike, it seemed good here - didn't run into any focus trouble but to be fair, I am using a Canon C200 and spend a LOT of time in face detect AF. You might consider buying from a retailer you can return the monitor if you aren't happy with its performance.
Also, if Shinobi has the same build as Ninja V, it is better than this all plastic build.
@@curtisjudd that is a fantastic idea, ill probably just Amazon it to have that return option.
The plastic housing is definitely a negative for be. To be honest I'm not sure what it is in the shinobi, I'll have to look into that. Thanks!
As far as Features and usability goes, do you find this on par with Atomos?
Hi Curtis thank for the video its very helpful... Is there a way to set focus assist and zebra on at the same time? It only allow me to pick one at a time for mine Thanks
Not that I know of. You might want to check with Feelworld support.
Hi Curtis!, thank you for your review. I am looking forward for the 5,5" version (F6 Plus) but I one of the thinks make feel insecure is that this version is only 1.000 nits, do you think it´s enough? For me 5,5" it´s more confortable, do you know if this new version will have a 5.5" soon? And by the way... could you share some code for the mount that appears in 4:07 ? is it fine? I don´t want to pay U$60 for "other" trendy brand. Thank you for your work!
Hi Francisco, 1000 nits can work outdoors with a hood of some sort, if that's what you mean? I don't know whether this brand has plans for a brighter 5.5" model. I have another video covering the mount I used at 4:07: czcams.com/video/WhjWCbR-q-I/video.html Best wishes!
I have the sdi and hdmi model 4k I’m trying to sdi in and hdmi out is that possible?
Greetings and thanks for and thanks for the detailed and balanced review! I'm curious as to your opinion of it as a multi-view monitor on the ATEM Mini Pro? I know it's a bit small for maybe the best studio use of that, but I have a portable rig (kind of like a DJ case) setup for outdoor multicam live-streaming and am considering this monitor for that. Small & bright for portable and outdoor use is great, but larger seems the way to go for the ATEM? Thanks again for your great content.
I think it will depend on how good your eyesight is and how far away from you it will be. I usually just use it to display the program output, not multi view. If I do multi view, I use a 24 in monitor.
@@curtisjudd Thanks, and your comment makes me realize that what I probably want more than multi-view really is program OR even just preview any 1 camera without switching to it. This size would be ideal for that I suppose!
CTKPH Online on the Mini Pro and Mini Pro ISO, you can switch the HDMI output to whichever camera you like without affecting the program. Just be sure to switch back to program view or you can get mightily confused.
Other the addition the dummy NPF battery mount, does the Pro version have anything else that this model doesn’t have?
Not sure, haven't tried the Pro version.
Thanks for the helpful review. Question - Given that you have one or more Black magic design cameras, how were you not tempted by their BMD Assist monitor that now does live focus pulling and color control of this cameras? One more Question. Another CZcamsr sold his 3 BMD cams and bought a stable of Canon 500’s As I recall. He said he could not get get the 3 BMD cams set to the same color. Perhaps color mngt. of live stream cams is a big topic for a future video?
Good idea for a future video. I use a Canon C200 and set of Panasonic GH5 cams as overhead and secondary for my livestreams so I haven't been exposed to color matching issues with my BMD Pocket 4K and 6K, but good idea to look into that. I didn't want an expensive recorder with a fan in it for my livestreams. I've been tempted by the BMD monitor/recorders recently, but have less need now that I have the C200 which will take over as the A cam on corporate shoots once the pandemic settles. For me, the P6K is mainly for CZcams videos at this point.
@@curtisjudd Hey Curtis, I'm curious why the switch from the Ursa Mini to C200 as the A cam? Are you shooting Raw for projects that generate a lot of files, or using the 8 bit codec?
Hello, Curtis very good video. ? I have a doubt.! It is possible to connect the Camera to the HDMI input of the monitor, and at the same time, connect the HDMI output to the PC with Elgato camlink 4K
It should be possible, yes!
Great review Curtis! Any idea if there have been competitors releasing monitors on par with the Portkeys BM5? I'm looking for a monitor that can control my BMPCC 4K, and that seems to be the only option.
Thanks. I haven't seen any others, but will keep my eyes peeled for them.
@@curtisjudd Thanks! I have an old iPhone 7 Plus, and I know they have a Bluetooth app for it.. I wonder if there's a way I can adapt it.
@@weightlessfilms5651 The app of which I'm aware allows you to control some of the camera settings but I don't think it streams the picture, unfortunately. And I think I heard that there's a third part app you can use to focus which I haven't tried, but sounds interesting.
Just wonder how much time you spend replying in social media... impressive 👍🏽 (just random comment... old sound intro was way more captivating)
Possibly too much time. 😀
Do you know where I can find the 12v dc barrel cable? I want to hook it up to my fxlion v mount battery
Should be able to source it from Feelworld. I've put a link to their Amazon store in the description. If you don't find it there, you'll probably want to contact Feelworld support. Best wishes!
Hello thanks for your video, i’m torn between this or the new smallhd indie 7, i know is a big difference in price and quality but i will like your opinion the 1200 nits difference is the only thing make me undecided. Thanks
I’d go with the smallHD.
Shame there is no top mounting thread as I hang my monitors, be good to get a cage also but I'm guessing this would block the light sensor ! Great review !
Thanks! You can hang it from the bottom and flip the image.
@@curtisjudd DOH ! Perfect thanks :)
do you think one use this with the Komodo? the 12g cable does not work, and 3g is not compatible with the komodo
If the Komodo requires 12G, then no.
Great video. It works for a mavic 2 pro and nikon p1000?
If they can output a clean HD or UHD signal via HDMI, yes.
Hi Curtis have you have any trouble with the false color (type 1) scale at the bottom of the screen? As soon as I swipe up on the menu and the back down it changes. I have to unplug the hdmi cable and plug it back it to get back to normal.
Hi Cody, just tested it again to confirm, but I haven't run into any issues with the scale on my copy here. Might be best to contact Feelworld support. I hope they can work that out for you. Best wishes!
I have this monitor and i used to film alot with it, But i had some issues last summer wich im currently struggeling with. I film with a fuji xt4. and now it will not output in log if i film in log anymore... I can use all other settings on the camera, but when i set the recording to log and the hdmi output to logthere is no signal.. Help plz
Not sure, unfortunately. Might be best to contact Feelworld support. Best wishes!
I guess it will not power up with only 1 Sony NPF connected? Must be two correct? And any idea how many luts can be installed in total? Thanks always for the great reviews.
Hi T.J., it can be powered with a single NP-F battery which is good so you can switch batteries mid-shoot without losing picture. Not sure on the number of LUTS - might run that by FEELWORLD support. Best wishes!
Hi Curtis. I have just bought this monitor and the screen image is superb. I have a Canon 90D and there doesn't seem to be any way to have the monitor on and an image on the camera's screen at the same time. Is this normal or am I missing something. It's a bit of a pain as I can't acess the camera's on screen menu's without unplugging the monitor. Do you know of any work arounds please?
Hi Roger, This sounds like a limitation of the 90D, perhaps. Might be best to contact Canon support to see if there is a way to enable both to work at the same time. Best wishes!
Sorry,beginner here,do we output live what is on monitor or what is in camera? Can it be used as camera actually with making colors and look better during live streams? ❤
The camera feeds the video to this monitor. It doesn’t make the colors better, it just helps you set your exposure and white balance and focus etc.
Coming from the audio world, I have a stupid question that I could not find the answer on the net, I guess cause it is that obvious..
I would like one of those on-camera little monitors to connect to my computer for metering of audio only duties and I wonder if that would be possible since they have HDMI input.
Would that be actually possible or do they have to be connected only with cameras?
Thank you.
If you computer can send audio out via HDMI, yes, but you'd also have to route audio at the same time to your headphones or speakers. You'll want to test to make sure that's possible first.
Curtis, am I correct in that if you load a LUT, it changes the “look” on the screen AND also passes that “graded” video back out? So I could use it to give a “graded” look to my zoom meetings?
I just tested that here and no, unfortunately, it does not appear to apply the LUT to the HDMI output.
@@curtisjudd Thank you! I really appreciate you doing that for me - your Chanel has helped my business audio/video skills so much - I can honestly say my Zoom meeting and webinar “game” kicks butt. Given I have a closed computer for work, any audio/video “manipulations” need to be hardware related, you, Gerald, and dslr shooter have provided all the critical decision making info (like this question here)...and so, a HUGE thank you!
@@ckjjclan 👍 Happy Zooming!
The menu and controls look eerily similar to my Andycine monitor. I'm guessing they are the same manufacturer just with different brand names.
Could be!
Thanks for sharing. Quick question, what does it mean when you say it can take 4k at 24 fps? Does that mean that I can only use the camera to record on that resolution? and is there anyway I can adjust what the input will be so for example I can shoot at 4k 60fps and have the monitor display it HD? Thanks!
Hi, Unfortunately, this monitor simply doesn't recognize 2160p60 signals. It isn't capable of doing that.
These display limitations are typical of field monitors, especially in this price range. If you need a monitor for 4K 60 or 120fps, you will need to shop well above the pro consumer grade gear.
Hi, thanks for your videos, from Colombia South America, I’m a focus puller and after the pandemic I’m broke biggggg time so I’m looking for a low price Monitor like this and I see the is a lut7 and a lut7S and the price difference is like a 100 dollars, can you tell me the difference and upon you experience wish is better for focus pulling, ahhhh and do they have piking? Not that red mosquito focus assist? Thanks a lot for your help.
Hi Alejo, yes, it has focus assist. The S version has SDI inputs and outputs.
This looks like a great choice and at a good price, especially the HDMI version.
👍
F6 plus version recently got a firmware update which adds waveform and vector scope, Maybe this monitor will get updated soon.
Nice addition.
Curtis, I’m late to the party I see. I like the idea of using a monitor for live streaming. I currently use OBS for Teams/Zoom calls with my a6400, camlink4k and Deity boom mic. One of the few reasons I use OBS is to get LUTS to my video calls. Could I use something like this with LUTS in monitor and output to calls through camlink via hdmi? Would be nice to not have to open OBS and take more away from the performance of the computer. Thoughts?
Hi Josh, sorry for the delay, I just tested it here and it does NOT appear to pass through the LUT to the HDMI output so I don't think that will work.
@@curtisjudd thanks! I ended up going with atmos and it does it perfectly. Thanks for the help. Big fan of the videos.
Awesome info.. I just got mine yesterday, love it! What 12Volt power pack (portable) would you suggest I buy?
I use cinema batteries like this: czcams.com/video/1cpF5so8KEE/video.html
thanks
You're welcome!
Hey Curtis, my main question is... If i want to shoot 4k 60fps on my black magic, and send it through this monitor to my teradek to another monitor, will that work?
If your Blackmagic outputs a 1080p60 signal via HDMI and your teradek can take 1080p60 via HDMI, then yes, it should work.
What’s your opinion on the latency? I have the Teradek Ace 500 and it has almost no latency. Will I be able to pull focus on this monitor without any issues? I have the Tilta Nucleus M follow focus.
I find that the latency of the output from the camera is the BIGGEST consideration. This monitor is ok, but the camera is going to be the biggest factor in overall latency.
@@curtisjudd Appreciate it! I decided to purchase a Teradek.
600 dollars would be max, then what monitor from what bracket? SDI nice, great video enjoy your work.
smallHD has some of its 5" monitors on sale for less than $600 currently which are worth a look: smallhd.com/collections/on-camera-monitors
Does the touch screen features work if it is connected only through HDMI?
No touch screen features here, unfortunately. This is a more budget oriented screen.
I have a canon camera. What cords do i need?
HDMI. First you need to figure out whether your camera has a micro. a mini, or full-size HDMI output port. The manual will say if you’re not sure.
@@curtisjudd it has full size. Thanks so much!
@@TrinitiJAsmr Great - full size HDMI to full size HDMI cable should do the job. Those are super common. Happy filming! 🎥
Curtis is reviewing LUTS???? Oh wait. I see what they did there!
Haha! Oh no, even reviewing a monitor is a stretch for a soundie like myself. 🙃
Curtis
Keith Kuhn here.
You are the guy that can help me. I will keep it very simple.
I'm using my Sony NX5U video camera.
My video camera has all the bells and whistles such as peeking zebra etc.
My eyesight is depleting terribly so I cannot see my little flip out monitor from the camera anymore.
What I really need to know, Will this monitor show my camera menu ? That would be perfect if it did.
If not can you recommend a monitor that will, at least seven or eight inch monitor
That won't break the bank.
I have extra Sony batteries so that's not a problem.
Thanks
Keith Kuhn
Hi Keith, yes this will display the menu and settings overlays IF your camera sends them out its HDMI port. Most will. You’ll just want to check your camera’s manual.
@@curtisjudd
Thanks Chris you're the best. Plus you really know your stuff buddy.
Why don't you add one of those thanks to your CZcams channel.

Can I connect this monitor to my gh5s via Hdmi and use sdi out to connect to my blackmagic atem
Unfortunately, no, it does not cross convert.
@@curtisjudd thank you for your very quick reply. I've subscribed
this looks super similar to the Andycine c7s. have you tried that one? is the same?
It’s the same
I haven't tried the Andycine, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is the same. They seem to copy a lot of other products like this.
Thinking of getting this for my very first monitor but I’m also unsure. I just graduated film school & starting my career as a 1st AC. I’ve been working on a lot of short films lately. Would this be a good monitor to start my career off? 🧐
I'd say yes. We've been pretty happy with it for our work here. Congrats on your graduation!
Did you end up buying this? Would love to know more as I'm looking for a 1st AC monitor myself
@@lewisbighands7808 I ended up getting the Osee G7 monitor instead and love it!
Hey Curtis, does this display handle Full Data levels properly, or is it Legal level only like the Atomos ? I've been searching everywhere, but can't find any info on this.
Hi Barry, I'm not sure. Maybe contact Feelworld support?

No, this does not support 60p frame rates.
@@curtisjudd Thank you for your time :)
Can we have the added lut result out through the SDI for streaming?
Unfortunately, I don't believe so.
@@curtisjudd thank you for the reply.
Is the mounting arm plastic too? The mount doesn't look very sturdy...
The arm is all metal. It does have some flex.
Curtis Judd Hi Curtis - I’ve found the mounting arm a little difficult to manipulate - do you know if there’s any way to change the ‘friction’ or ‘tightness’ setting for how freely it allows you to tilt the monitor. As far as I can tell unscrewing the side lever only disconnects the mounting arm from the screen thread.
Silly question. My GH5 at 4k 60 or even 30 or 25, will it display or not? Will it display but down converted or just No Signal?
It will not read a 4K 60 signal, but will read a UHD 30 or 25. It displays 1080 always, but it can only down convert as noted in the first section with the pros and cons listed.
@@curtisjudd thank you. Really appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos, no BS and straight to the point.
Hey Curtis,
how is the fan noise on this unit?
I am looking for something lower noise than the shogun.
thanks!
No fan at all.
@@curtisjudd even better! no risk of noise there...
Well I am a fan of your channel now too! ha.
@@anthonysharpe2725 Thanks Anthony - happy filming!
could u tel me how do u calibrate u colors and record it to u dslr?
The monitor is calibrated out of the factory to rec.709. You could potentially use a professional color calibration system and colorimeter or photo spectrometer but that's very expensive and requires more skill than I have in that particular area.
where is the V mount 's link ? can't find it
Sorry about that - added the Andycine battery plate link to the description.
This is great monitor although there is one issue that makes me wonder
if my unit is defective: If I have a battery connected to the monitor a
red led will ALWAYS be on. Even after powering the unit to the green led
status, then powering off, the led will then show red and it will stay
that way until I remove the battery. The problem with this is that I
must always remove the battery for fear that it will be drained over
time by the perpetual burning of the red led. Has anyone else
experienced this, or is it just me?
Mine does the same thing. I suspect it is a feature to let you know a power source is connected and available.
Does it reach 2200nits if only powered by 1 battery? Or it only reaches a limited brightness like 1200nits in the astrix of manual page 237 bottom paragraph?
Hi Frank - just tested it now and it didn't seem to make a difference whether I had one or two batteries attached. In both cases I could go to 2200 nits and they looked the same in terms of output. By the way, where did you find a manual with over 200 pages? I just received a tiny getting started guide.
@@curtisjuddthanks for testing. I was kidding cheap gear always hides its caveats somewhere. Cheers
Hahaha! I was concerned I had missed something for a moment there. 😀
How side bracket. Does it sag? Looks like a cheap thread screw on side
Haven't used it but I believe it is attached to an internal frame.
@@curtisjudd I'm tossed up between this and atomos monitor only version of ninja v. I have ninja 2 recorder and feelworls 7 inch monitor but want extra tools like wave forms , vector scope for white balanc. I really don't need extra HDMI out as ninjia 2 has that. I'm tossed up on compact 5 inch atomos vs 7 inch. How has your experience with this monitor been . Still serve you well?
@@gereral1_jackofalltrades I still have it but it doesn't get a lot of use, to be honest. Not because it isn't good, just because I have an OSEE monitor which I use most of the time. I'd find the ATOMOS more useful overall as a recorder. But I prefer the 7" screen size simply because it makes composition easier.
Comparison with ANDYCINE A6 Plus?
Hi Adil, I don't have the A6 at the moment but will compare them if I happen upon it.
Why not the Atomos Ninja V which supports HDr?
Price and I didn't want another fan running during my livestreams. I love ATOMOS recorders, but not their fans.
Nice review! Thanks for sharing. No battery level. Oops....

Hahaha. Yes, oops.
Curtis Judd Hi Curtis - I just got a LUT7 from Feelworld and it has a battery status indicator in the top right. Maybe my firmware is different?
@@nicholas6552 That's great news! Possibly a firmware difference.
Curtis Judd my firmware is 1.1.3. One other thing I noticed - if you enable the all waves display with no hdmi cable connected it looks like they are some spikes in the waveform. Weird - does yours do this too with no signal input?
Does the batters last long? I see theres 2 batteries. I hope it doesnt tip over lol
Depends on the size of NP-F batteries you use as they come in lots of different capacities. It also depends on how bright you set the monitor. Under normal use with an NP-F970, I get a couple of hours.
sir..how is this compared to andycine monitor ?
I think they might be made by the same factory, but I'm not certain.
if u playback 4k 60-120fps from a camera, does it show at all? or it says not supported? or just plays in lower frame rate? this monitors goes up to 4k 30fps as i know.
Nothing shows when you feed any UHD or 4K signal beyond 30fps.
@@curtisjudd oh really? meaning when i shoot 4k 60fps, and or 4k 120fps with the sony a7siii or fx3, then monitor becomes useless? and also to clarify, nothing shows 1) when i record 4k 60-120 , or 2) ONLY when i playback 4k 60-120fps then? thanks
@@curtisjudd also someone gave me another answer which was: "60 fps is displayed with 30fps, 50 as 25. 120fps is usually saved as lower framerate in camera, depending on your settings (max 60fps on G9 ). So same applies here."
Perhaps there’s been a firmware update that I haven’t applied. I would recommend you contact the Feelworld support to confirm.
@@curtisjudd thanks mate
Are these good for when taking stills?
Yes, I find it easier to compose and catch little details which need fixing, with stills or video.
Are the batteries hot swappable?
Yes
I can use this monitor for steadicam???
Yes
Mmmm, I usually look at monitors and think to myself, "meh, I can go without one and be fine" but this one has me rethinking all of my life's choices...
Hahaha! All of your life decisions? Wow, and I thought I was just reviewing another monitor. 😂
Just got mine, the hdmi version. For the price you can't lose. Tired of looking at my camera screen 😒. And when you're working with clients they more than likely wanna see some sort of playback
👍 Glad to hear its working for you!
where did u purchase this monitor?? An unable to find it anywhere!
@@carlossantini Amazon feelworld store
does it not have a shade on top ?
Mine did not come with a hood/shade.
How color accurate is the monitor?
I didn't measure it in any sort of scientific way but it matches the screen on my Canon C200 to the eye. So if it is off, it isn't off by much.
How's the heating?
There is no heating in this space. 🙃
Are there any monitors with super low HDMI latency, or isn’t that possible?
This one has about the least amount of latency I've seen via HDMI. I suspect there is a limitation in the HDMI spec, but not certain.
Thanks!
how is the latency from HDMI good sir?
I guess you did not watch the video? Covered that at 2:09.
@@curtisjudd jumped over it, yes. (I use the number keys to skip on youtube and I guess it skipped over it).
I've seen a lot of complaints of this monitor seizing to function after a few uses, however I might just trust Curtis Judd as he appears to have credibility.
I still use it regularly with my Blackmagic Pocket 6K. To be fair, that has stayed in the studio for the last year so it hasn't been in the rough and tumble location world.
Does this have anamorphic desqeee?
From memory, no, but it’s been a long time…
So I could be completely brain farting. But, when I connect my Ultra 7 it takes the display from my camera lcd. (Canon 80d)
Ok. Could be that the newer Canons do fine. That’s great news!
@@curtisjudd wait why is it great news? At the moment my Feelworld is useless haha
Sorry, I misread. It is my understanding that the canon DSLRs do funny stuff with their HDMI outputs. You’ll probably want to get in touch with Canon support to learn what is possible with your camera.
250 dollars is a killer price for a monitor that big and that bright.
👍
great video. as usual.
everyone else :
I'm looking for anyone who's shooting with this. have any practical input? I don't want fluffy reviews... i click away as soon as I sensed that lol
I use this on my main camera. It is ok. I don’t love the controls, but they work. If price is one of your biggest priorities, this will generally get the job done.
@@curtisjudd wow thanks foe replying 🙏🙏
ok one more quick question .
if I send it 4k 50. what happens. does it drop frames? convert it ? or not work at all?
thanks again
@@TheJadedFilmMaker It does nothing, blank screen. No good for frame rates over 30 FPS at UHD.
The monitor has great features, but the glossy reflective finish put me off.
Understood. Glossy finish is an engineering/design trade-off situation. It is an inexpensive way to get more contrast and black shadows, but it can be reflective and distracting.
@@curtisjudd I prefer the older one , the finish is much better
Dammit.... don't get to say it...🥇
Hahaha! Thanks for watching either way.
@@curtisjudd Been watching (and subbed) for a while, now. Have learnt a lot. One of the channels I know i can rely on, for good honest info.
TIL Curtis uses official Sony NPFs...
I have one official Sony NPF battery 😀.
NO BATTERY METER????!!!! Such an important and basic feature. Step it up Feelworld!
👍
The mount is horrible doesn't swivel and gets in the way of the HDMI surprised he didn't mention this.
Hi Jay, it does not swivel but I didn't have any issues with it getting in the way of the HDMI ports or cables. Perhaps they changed it since I made this review?
@@curtisjudd I think the side would have been a better choice for the HDMI but I am use to the ninja.
1:46 :-(
Yes, better to know ahead of time before the purchase.
Sir do you have a recomendatio, on which to buy that can do HDMI IN and SDI OUT, thanks
@@bidyorero Some of the Lilliput 7" monitors do HDMI/SDI cross conversion.
