More Good Stuff

The Monitor (Feelworld FW 759) arrived today.

Initial impressions (I do not have the right cable for it yet);

Smaller than I had imagined, which is good. In my head it was getting bigger and bigger, in reality it is only slightly bigger than my bigger than average phone.

Mini ipad, Monitor, A12 Samsung phone. It is the lightest of the three, coming in under the iPad with a 550 battery.

It feels fine. I was expecting plastic and I got it, but it is not bad feeling. The buttons are “clicky”, but seem solid enough.

The screen itself is bright and clear. For future reference, no screen shown on another screen is done any justice. On the standard setting it is fine, on vivid it is super crispy and for possibly better reference, the mild setting is semi soft.

It comes with a protector/slim hood (pictured) and a velcro on deep hood, a ball head identical to the Smallrig base model and a HDMI-C to mini HDMI cable, which unfortunately is too small for the Pana and too big for the Olympus cameras, so I am yet to see it in action.

For mounting, I have ordered a couple of the Smallrig 2163 mini magic arms. For less than $10 each, these hold 1kg or more and have good movement options. The ball head thing was ok, but worked best from a cold shoe. I think I would prefer the screen at an angle coming out from the front of my handle(s), not sticking up from the top. We will see.
