How loud is the fan on this monitor and how much power does it take? Just returned my ninja v because it was extremely loud and took way too much power. Great video thanks 😊
Hi there! I'd like to know if its HDMI out offers a Clen image... indeed, I'm looking for a monitor that gets all the informatiions from the camera but don't send them on the HDMI out so that I may use it for a livestream on youtube... thanks bro!
Holy crap. That sucks. No joke, when I said in the video that when I realized how poorly built the LH5H was....I sent it back. I dont think you'll have that problem with the LH5P.
Great vid brotha man! Ive got the BM5iii and I love it. Portkeys has really stepped their game up recently. Love seeing the channel grow man! Hope the move is going smooth for ya!
They have great HH7 (or HS7T with SDI) for fairly cheap But they are focused on 5inch monitors to bring new features to them, so they cant fix some nasty bugs on HH7/HS7T for over 2 year!!!
Thank you for this. You've really helped me with my setup. This is the best review I've found that's answered all of my questions with my pocket 4k and LH5P setup
Ah yes... the driven films way of integrating everything in some way or form to be used on a bmpcc 4k. I also got to hand it to your community. They have been helpful with resolve!
Great reveiw thinking of returning my Ninja V and just getting this for my Z cam S6, one question i had though, in every shot of the monitor UI, there are borders with various tools and settings insdie of the green and red bars on the side... is there a way i can tap the screen or something and just get a clean full size veiw of my shot without any borders and settings on the screen? Thanks!
Hi Joe, I'm wondering to use Tilta Nucleus Nano for controlling Zoom (not focus pulling) with this LH5P. Let's say I attach my Nano on my lens zoom ring, then I set poin A-B for 5 seconds on the LH5P, can we achieve smooth-stable-consistent zoom movement?
Thank you form the great review, what would be the best way to power the monitor? I heard about HDMI outs being fried on the pocket cams. I see you are using a battery on the monitors back. Is that better than from a V mount? What makes the hdmi output burn? I just ordered this monitor and I have the 6K pocket
Great question. I believe that HDMI ports are getting burnt bc the monitor isn’t powered on BEFORE plugging in the HDMI. I didn’t have that issue with this LH5P But I did have an LH5H (the previous model) burn an HDMI port right out of the box.
Great vid, cool looking monitor. Can anyone tell me if this monitor offers a way to horizontally flip the image? I would like to connect this to the output from my tablet used in my teleprompter as a secondary monitor for prompter operator to the side. Obviously, the image coming from tablet is flipped in prompter software for use in mirror for talent to read. Specs say "Image Flip", which could just mean vertical flip for upside-down, which wouldn't help, or a rotate function not needed, thx.
Oh hello neighbor! You’re right around the corner from me. Anyway, yes I believe it has a flip option. I don’t have the monitor anymore though so I can’t test it
Very nice video Joe, the monitor looks very very nice, I had a bad experience with a previous Portkeys monitor but this one looks like it would be the one, definitely the camera controls are one of the highlights, something other camera brands such as Atomos are lacking.
I am not a fan of this monitor. I got it to control by bmpcc and because of its brightness which is pretty fantastic. Two (maybe three) things I don’t like: 1) the touch controls are crazy unintuitive. The touch sensor is not very good coming from an iphone and of course the pocket cam. I pretty much only use the touch controls by accident because they are just bad. 2) The bottom mounting screw receiver is NOT built in to the chassis. It is a reducing bushing but it’s not 3/8 to 1/4…it’s somewhere closer to 5/16 which is a thinner wall and therefore weaker. I had to mount to a magic arm with no locating pins and to get it tight enough that it wouldn’t unscrew when I operated it, it destroyed the weak and thin adapter. I can’t find a replacement in that odd size so I guess I’ll have to duct tape it to my cam. 3) This one isn’t major but the carrying case is very snug. I would have loved if they’d have included a little cutout so you could leave a cold shoe mount attached while in the case. This would really help with the issue about the weak 1/4 mount adapter.
Great points. I think it comes down to getting what you pay for. While the camera control on this monitor is helpful, once you've used a monitor like SmallHD...it's hard to go back to.
@@joenicklo Thank you for the reply. I will look into the small hd. Portkeys just got back to me about the adapter. It’s basically the smallrig kit adapter from 3/8 to 1/4 that is about $5 delivered for a multi pack except portkeys chose to use a lower quality adapter with a non-standard size. They just messaged me that it would cost $30.00 to get ONE! Not meaning to hijack your video in any way but this has completely ended Portkeys for me. I’ll put up my own review on this.
do you have gear suggestions for a beginner who wants to get into motorcycle POV filming but who wants to achieve a significantly higher quality than something like a gopro action camera can achieve? thank you
@@joenicklo I connect the Type-C wire, put the remote control in the camera settings, but there are no functions. ua-cam.com/video/NOIrjK5wKD8/v-deo.html - Here in the video shows, but I do not. I don't understand what settings are needed more (((
great video!! i just paired my bmpcc 4k with the BM5WR just now,. i'm able to control it from the monitor but the monitor isn't showing what's on my camera, the screen is the default screen. do i need to connect something else via cable? i thought that the blue tooth connection will also connect the video? thanks!

Wasn’t very loud if I recall

I may look into this. I just used my lh5h this weekend at an event and somehow this thing came unhinged from the 1/4 20.
Holy crap. That sucks. No joke, when I said in the video that when I realized how poorly built the LH5H was....I sent it back. I dont think you'll have that problem with the LH5P.
Happy to see them update and fix build quality
The LH5P looks like a solid monitor for the price. How is battery life with a Sony NP-F970 battery?
Solid review, keep it up!
Honestly I didnt test battery life
Great video Joe. If I get a zcam, I'm definitely gonna grab one of these. Discord gang 🤌🤌👌👌
Good option for sure.
Great vid brotha man! Ive got the BM5iii and I love it. Portkeys has really stepped their game up recently. Love seeing the channel grow man! Hope the move is going smooth for ya!
They definitely have. I'd like to see a cleaner UI design in the future but other than that, portkeys has like you said, stepped it up.
Great video man! Loved the B Roll + how quickly you jumped into it. Will be curious to hear how that impacts your retention! Keep it up!
Thanks for checking it out :)
JOE! I’ve missed you! Great vid brother
Hey thanks buddy! Videos for the next few months will be sporadic but I'll be trying my best!
This would be a nice pairing with BMPCC4K! Portkeys made a monitor that looks modern.
Agreed, thanks for watching.
I am searching for an external monitor for my Fx6 👍🏻😉 why not the LH5P 😉 best cinematic greetings from germany
Lot of good brands to choose from. Atomos and SmallHD are awesome choices too.
They have great HH7 (or HS7T with SDI) for fairly cheap
But they are focused on 5inch monitors to bring new features to them, so they cant fix some nasty bugs on HH7/HS7T for over 2 year!!!
has there been any UI fixes since you released this video
I do not think so. I actually ended up doing a giveaway for this monitor in my Discord community so I no longer have it.
Thank you for this. You've really helped me with my setup. This is the best review I've found that's answered all of my questions with my pocket 4k and LH5P setup
Glad it helped!
Can you tell me which mount you are using with this monitor and WHERE'S THE YANKEES CAP? 😀Thanks bro🙏🏾
The hats are going to make a strong comeback! The monitor mount is the Smallrig arri locating pin “tilt & swivel”
This is the one: amzn.to/2SYGlGi
@@joenicklo Thx ✌🏾

I've gotta show love to the Blackmagic crowd still. :D
@@joenicklo We're not all evil. Mostly.
Dude, this is the best review of this monitor!! Very extensive and clean-cut! Helps to receive the information without much distraction!
Glad I could help!
Thanks for the review Joe! Definitely not my first pick of monitor, but it's better than my Feelworld monitor for sure! #discordsquad
No problem!
Great review Joe! Maybe one day we will have something like it for the Fuji users out there. And three cheers to the Discord!
Hi Joe, how ya doing?
I'm good buddy ;)
Thanks! Is it fanless?
No it has a fan that you can adjust the speed.
This looks like a solid monitor. might need to grab one for the second camera I will inevitably get! Thanks Joe!
Give it a shot Dan! Thanks for watching.
Great reveiw thinking of returning my Ninja V and just getting this for my Z cam S6, one question i had though, in every shot of the monitor UI, there are borders with various tools and settings insdie of the green and red bars on the side... is there a way i can tap the screen or something and just get a clean full size veiw of my shot without any borders and settings on the screen? Thanks!
on the ninja i can just tap the screen and i get a clean full size image on the monitor, is there a similar function for this monitor ?
Sorry for the late reply, yes you can tap and get a clean view.
Do you have a rec for a sun hood? And what case is that you’ve got there? Thanks man!!
The case comes with the monitor. Pretty nice addition. For a sunhood, you'll need to go with a cage+hood combo. I suggest the Nitze --> geni.us/mU8J
@@joenicklo awesome. Thanks so much! This vid was really helpful in making my decision.
So the question is, this or the new Shinobi 7?
Good question.
Yo I’m the guy from the basketball court what’s the other guys UA-cam channel?
Locksley Lennox
hey so for a canon 6d, this won't work as bluetooth, only if it's connected by cord?
If the cart says that’s the case, then yes.
LOL 6:38 made the whole video for me. Great review!
;) It shows eh?
@@joenicklo honestly it doesn't but it's good to be able to laugh at yourself sometimes
Can you tap screen to focus on the monitor for the canon R6?
Im sorry, I've never shot on the R6.
The model for the a7Siii has a fan. Do you know if it's loud enough to cause audio issues for the sound person?
This model has fans too. I didn't really need to kick them on in situations where I was recording audio on-camera.
Can anyone recommend a good monitor that can control the Nikon D850, I am finding it really hard to find anything.
Have you found anything yet?
Gimme that monitor Joe!

Absolutely. The monitor won't know if its a zoom or focus ring so you're fine there.
@@joenicklo Wonderful! Thank you for your reply
Great review. All the information you need without the fluff. 👍
Glad it was helpful!
@@joenicklo Definitely was. Also, glad you drive right in and don’t spend 2-3 minutes talking about what you are going to review before you review it.

@@joenicklo Wow, so you turn the cam and the Monitor ON, before connecting the HDMI cable?
@@adeeboberoi5362 I think you have to plug everything in, then turn on the monitor, then the camera. The same order when switching off.

All good.sorry you had this experience
How many hours you get when you use that battery,? I wanted the thin battery
Any problems with overheating? Mine has started to switch off after 30minutes.
I filmed with it in some really hot weather with no issues. Just need to switch the fan speed to high.
Great looking monitor!
Solid monitor
do you have gear suggestions for a beginner who wants to get into motorcycle POV filming but who wants to achieve a significantly higher quality than something like a gopro action camera can achieve? thank you
Do you want the POV to be helmet view?
what cable do you need to connect GH5S ?
It comes with the cable needed to control the GH5S.

I wish I could help you but I don’t own the monitor anymore and I never got to test it on a gh5/s. Your best bet is to email portkeys directly.
