It's great to see their connectivity page for camera control becoming clearer and more concise. I can't wait to experience it. Thank you for your review!
Impressive monitor! I tried it at IBC on-site. Works great! The camera connection page is so clear that I can quickly find the camera I want to connect, and automatically reconnection is what superized me. Also, I noticed they added a function to customize the page, I wanna buy it when it's released, it's very useful for me and will enhance my shooting efficiency.
Great review! I didn’t realize you could convert from HDMI to SDI that’s sick! I love the power options and also love, of course, that you can control the camera. When it’s all rigged out, it can be so difficult sometimes to change settings quickly on an FX3 for example and being and to quickly tap the monitor to change white balance or switch to slow motion, that’s so clutch! Now I need to make the switch as well! Thanks dude! 🙌
Fun fact: There's nothing proprietary about the electrical properties of the DSMC3 monitor USB cable. It's just that the plug form factor is very very compact, so most USB cables you find online do not fit the camera or monitor side. It took me about 10 orders on Amazon to find a cable that is "compatible enough" (can't lock on the camera side, but other than that it works fine). It was 10€ for 2 cables...with a bit more searching or even modifying the plug housing on some of the cables you could probably find another really cheap one that just works. I threw those 2 cables replacements in my camera bag for the eventual day when the original USB-C cable decides to glitch out.
Funny because I did the same thing and even spoke to Kondor Blue which they stripped the whole entire cable so that it would fit inside and still didn't work. The cables may not be proprietary but they are special cables that have some sort of voltage regulator so that you can;t just use a standard USB C cable. Trust me, we've tested almost every cable on Amazon and again stripped it so that it would fit. You might have got lucky with the cables you got that send out the right voltage for that monitor.
@@mondobytes that's interesting that you even spoke to a cable maker and they couldn't get it to work. Not sure if it's a voltage thing, I doubt a random noname cable from Amazon would have that kind of technology in there because I have no idea which other device would even use this. Like where's the market to put that in a cheap off-brand cable that will get buried under similar offers. Here's the Amazon ID for the cable I had luck with on Amazon Germany B0BPX3GBBT, brand is listed as SUMPK. Just checked, when I bought it in February 2023 it was a 2-pack of 50cm cables for 15€, and I bought another pack after I confirmed this model working. In the description it says something about an E-Marker Chip being built-in, maybe that's the key for the video signal to work on DSMC3. Only downside is it's a tiny bit stiff for off-camera monitor work on a ring grip. It works but has a bit more push/pull than I'd like. If you are interested give it a go. If they somehow changed something with the cable after over a year I could also send you one of my 4 cables to test if that's something you wanna look into further. But since the video says you've been replacing your monitors maybe you don't even need a backup/replacement in your bag anymore.
@@mondobytes I tried to reply to your comment but my answer is only visible in my history, not here. Maybe it got filtered out because I included an Amazon ASIN (not a link, but still). Don't know. Short story: The cable I bought includes something called an E-Marker chip. Maybe that's the key for DSMC3 to output video. If you want I can send you the ASIN or even a one of my 4 cables for testing, but judging by this video content you might not even need it anymore. :)
@@ChristianLeibig interesting I didn’t see anything show in Spam comments, what’s the part number? I’m interested in trying it out especially if you say it works.
@@mondobytes Part number at Amazon Germany was B094V4RJGC, was the 50cm variant, not sure if the others work was well. Brand there is SUMPK.

But happy to send you a single cable for testing if you are interested, as I said I have 4 of them.
I had that monitor - the delay with camera controls was just a little too laggy for me and the image wasn’t great especially when bright. I sold it and got a SmallHD cine 7. It’s expensive but I adore it.
@@iamkubrick I never used it with the old operating system, but you want to talk about laggy bro the SmallHD Cine 7 is a lag fest lol. I own that monitor and holy shit it’s terrible. Not sure if they tweaked settings with new OS but the image is also fantastic. I mean you can even see in my video what is shown looks true to life. Honestly, I’d argue looks better than my SmallHD Cine 7. Might do a reel to show side by side. Again, can’t comment on old OS but new one is 🔥🔥
@@JacksonK-e5w they’re overpriced for sure. But they’re industry standard. It’s more about reliability on large risk productions. Not many producers are going to be to be confident with ‘portkeys’ ‘hollyland’ ‘freewell’ monitors being used on proper productions. But these other monitors are ok for UA-camrs and smaller productions. Thats just the reality of the industry. You don’t turn up to the Daytona track in a Toyota Camry.
actually i visted their booth and experienced this monitor in Amsterdam. It has almost no latency and the dual-screen monitoring and wireless camera control function is really dope🙌portkeys just do it
I use a 5" Fotga monitor and it gets the job done but if I were to upgrade it would be that Portkeys. I love the picture overlay feature and including the Red Control that others charge hundreds for tells me all I need to know.
I have the Portkeys LH5P II, which I really love, though it's a bit older (and smaller). Only downside is the lack of cage options for it. Might have to go for this when I'm ready to upgrade.
@@chris_sparrows I just doom scrolled their stuff and saw a video of them doing it on a R6mii and R8. So that answers my question! How's battery life on it? What kind of source you like to use for power?
@MeAndMyOpinions_OverYours I have never used an NPF battery to power it, so I don't know. I power my whole rig: GH5, monitor, fiz motor from v-mount. A 99Wh battery will get me around 4 hours of constant use. That said, the camera control is nice but I don't use it much as I use cine lenses and for the settings I do change it's easier to use the buttons and dials on the camera. I'll eventually make a video on my rig, but no idea when.
You didn't mention anything about touch to focus. I have the monitor they released before this one, and another challenge is that the little boxes and peaking displays do not get sent over from the Sony camera. The new OS looks good. I wish I could upgrade.
I recently got the 5.5 inch portkeys for a "new to me" Komodo. I wondered, do you feel the focus pulling sharpness is as good as the SmallHD monitors you own? I was looking at this or the Cine 7 for a larger one for shoots when I can have it.
I only need to see myself from 6 feet away, I bought a teleprompter and I can't see my flip-up screen, what do you recommend I do? I don't want to control anything from the screen, just see myself from a distance.
Help. Can you capture the video or image coming from the Komodo X on this monitor or does only work to control the camera? I just purchased it but i am not getting any image coming from the camera wirelessly. Thank you for your help.
I don't believe there's a monitor that exists out in the market that will receive a video feed wirelessly from any camera. What is wireless is the camera control, that's because it uses Bluetooth and Wifi Protocols to communicate with the camera.
@Whaever_1981 The original OS of the monitor does not, but this brand new version it's supposed to have El Zone. I have the monitor, so once I update it, I'll report back.
Are you able to do internal playback from FX3 to this monitor? I recently purchased it and upgraded the OS to Cinenorm and every time I click playback on my FX3 the HDMI signal gets lost. It only ends up showing the Cinenorm logo. Might have to return if I'm not able to playback my recording.
Figured it out. If someone is using this monitor with FX3 and wants to watch playback on monitor. Make sure to set External Output - HDMI Resolution to "Auto"
Is there a “freeze image” setting on this monitor? I use that all the time on my feel world and it does the job I would like screw in power ports though
Can it record? I'm dreaming about FX3 and thinking to get atomos so when needed, I can shoot 16bit raw / 12bit logaritmic raw on the FX3.. What other options I have to get linear 16bit or 12bit logaritmic out of FX3 through hdmi?
I've had this monitor since it came out and it shipped with the old firmware. The new firmware has been promised as a download for a while but can I find it??? The Portrays website isn't the greatest and it just doesn't work that well. That said the monitor is nice and clear although the optional hood I bought from them is just cheap crap!
Oh shit I didn't know I had to say negative things about the monitor to make it "real". Funny I legit just bought 2 more monitors with my own money for my other cameras, don't believe me follow me on IG and when I get them (I believe tomorrow) I'll post a story about them 😏
Actually, they did. Cause if you see the "log false color" function you will realize that it is the same as the EL zone. Just a different name, cause portkeys don't wanna pay the extra fee for the name.
Mate, i like your videos, but sometimes i really don't understand how it's possible to change your mind in just 2 months because if you remember, you made a video about the Hollyland P7 and you just said the exact same thing that this monitor it's the best and it's your favorite bla,bla,bla 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 just be real made
Bro, my opinion on the Hollyland P7 hasn't changed. That's like saying I can only like a Cybertruck and not also enjoy a Ford Raptor. That type of thinking is silly, did you not see the BTS we were also using P7 lol. The Hollyland is extremely useful when you need an all in one with built in wireless transmission. What the Hollyland doesn't have is Camera control, it doesn't make it a bad monitor but having camera control especially on a camera like the Pyxis which doesn't currently have a native monitor for sale is AMAZING! Not to mention camera control works on all of my other cameras too which again is amazing to have because I can access everything on my main monitor without having to use the on board camera monitor. Both are awesome monitors with different use cases, there's no such thing as one size fits all and my opinion on the P7 hasn't changed.
We apologize that our monitors do not support control of the Canon R5C. However, adding more camera models that can be controlled with our monitors has always been our pursuit.
I don't have an OG Komodo but on the Komodo X all you need to do is set it to Ad-Hoc and tell the monitor the SSID and Password on the Komodo X and it works. I'm going to assume it's the same for the OG Komodo.
They will be launching it next week, they gave me early access. I highly recommend you download it when it's available and I will have a link in the description.
I own a BM5WR III - one note, they said my monitor was going to be getting the new cinenorm firmware at NAB and now they backtracked and we aren’t getting the firmware update. To be blunt a really destroyed my trust with this company. The monitor itself functions well and I like it however, the firmware is really bad. It’s hard to use and has an ugly user interface.
@@mondobytes I generally agree with that, but they also claimed it was coming out in a month of NAB. That implies they’re far enough into development to know if it’s going to work or not. That really doesn’t instill trust in a company for me.
@@tylerstooksbury3050 Which is why I use that motto, despite a company promising an update even a month later I never buy something with the promise that I will get it but for what it is now. I waited almost a year for my Cybertruck to get FSD when it was supposed to have it day 1 of release. I'm not trying to apologize for Portkeys, but if that was something that wasn't available at the time of launch then I personally would of held off if that was something I really wanted. Who knows, maybe with the high demand and positive feedback they might release it soon, I hope that's the case for you because their new OS is very impressive.
I'm in the same boat. Bought the v3 monitor, hated the interface, and held onto it for a year waiting for the promised Cinenorm update. I don't think I'd buy another Portkeys out of pure spite haha
@@emmanuelnkwocha1275 Awesome monitor if you need wireless transmission. Sadly it doesn’t have camera support and for the Pyxis it’s been clutch being able to change settings on monitor instead of of using the side monitor on the side which can be annoying.
Their old operating system and User Interface was atrocious, this definitely seems to be a step in the right direction and just from judging off of your video color rendition looks much improved over their older monitors.
hmmm, well, checking the price in EU where I'm located and I see it's 1030€ and when you consider that a Ninja V Ultra is already 860€, the price difference is not THAT bad. This PortKeys is 2" bigger and has a ton of very interesting and quite unique features.

@@mondobytes I generally agree with that, but they also claimed it was coming out in a month of NAB. That implies they’re far enough into development to know if it’s going to work or not. That really doesn’t instill trust in a company for me.
@@tylerstooksbury3050 Which is why I use that motto, despite a company promising an update even a month later I never buy something with the promise that I will get it but for what it is now. I waited almost a year for my Cybertruck to get FSD when it was supposed to have it day 1 of release. I'm not trying to apologize for Portkeys, but if that was something that wasn't available at the time of launch then I personally would of held off if that was something I really wanted. Who knows, maybe with the high demand and positive feedback they might release it soon, I hope that's the case for you because their new OS is very impressive.
I'm in the same boat. Bought the v3 monitor, hated the interface, and held onto it for a year waiting for the promised Cinenorm update. I don't think I'd buy another Portkeys out of pure spite haha
lol what happened to the holly land pyro 7 monitor??
@@emmanuelnkwocha1275 Awesome monitor if you need wireless transmission. Sadly it doesn’t have camera support and for the Pyxis it’s been clutch being able to change settings on monitor instead of of using the side monitor on the side which can be annoying.

Their old operating system and User Interface was atrocious, this definitely seems to be a step in the right direction and just from judging off of your video color rendition looks much improved over their older monitors.
@@thekylenovak color rendition was spot on! Like what I saw in real life was exactly how it looked on monitor.
No EL Zone, really?
it will have it, is what I heard
Nice, but out of my price range.
Bluetooth / wifi and antena what for?!
Antenna is for Wifi
Very interesting! Cool features, but for $900 I better be gettin’ 4K 😩 almost $1k for a 1080p monitor feels wrong
Not impressed by the monitor, but very impressed (badly) by its price
hmmm, well, checking the price in EU where I'm located and I see it's 1030€ and when you consider that a Ninja V Ultra is already 860€, the price difference is not THAT bad. This PortKeys is 2" bigger and has a ton of very interesting and quite unique features.
