Same! I sold my PortKeys, Feelworld, and Atomos monitors and replaced them with a new iPad mini. Not only was the iPad mini cheaper but it was more color accurate and higher resolution. I use my iPad mini as a monitor for my Red Komodos.
THIS IS GOLDEN!!!! I was in need to buy an external monitor but with my traveling I wanted to the smallest setup possible! PLUS, this saves me money! I can’t believe this app is free for the value it adds! Thanks for sharing this Sidney.
It's free with limited features. Actual cost is $18 which is far less than a field monitor. However, wireless connection only works with high-end Sony cameras so check the website.
Thank you sir! Great idea. I was just returning my external monitor and I thought what ways to use my iPhone as a monitor and found this video! Did not know about the app at all! Thank you!
MAJOR NOTE for anybody using an A7C with this app.. switch your WiFi settings on the camera to 5ghz - it's set to 2.4 by default and that's a real bummer. Works like a charm once you make the switch though!
Yep, that s a great app and more versatile than field monitor, maybe not as good, but good enough for the use of non professional like me. And I also use it as remote when I’m away from my camera
One caveat I'd make you aware of is to check the wifi capabilities of your Sony camera. Many are limited to 2.4Ghz band, namely all APSC and older full frame, best performance is 5Ghz. Lag is improved if hardwired over USB OTG, but that is limited android phones only.
Everyone has a big screen in their pocket nowadays, cameras manufacturers need to utilise the tech available, it will be cool to monitor using usb c connection without lag
You may need to check your camera make/model though as a some Sony cameras aren’t supported, seems only the latest Sony, A7RIV, A7SIII, A7C etc are so A7III is not
@@SidneyDiongzon definitely, I did look at this option before buying an external monitor (from Chris’s video) but sadly as I have an A7III, this option was not for me, but definitely has potential
Do you have any issues with it dropping out or crashing using it wirelessly? I was thinking of getting an android device so I can plug in directly to the camera.
Does the app work with a7iii? And is it possible to tap focus on the phone for video in the a7iii. Regardless, gratitude brother, hope you and the fam are doing well!
Awesome app but the lag and pause makes it almost unusable on ip11 and a7c. Any body have a workaround? Does the latency improve on the purchased version vs lite?
I have tried this several times, The free version, iPhone 11 max pro and FX3 and it disconnects every 5-10 seconds and I have to reconnect with the QR code every time even though my camera is shown in the list..? Anybody have the same problem...? Thanks
The app looks great but it doesn’t support a lot of sony cameras… only few new ones. No A6600 support, for example. Also, I wonder: one thing that always drove me crazy with the Sony I.edge was the fact that, every time I wanted to see what I just filmed in the phone it would shut off I needed to start everything over again. Does this happens with this app?
1) connecting is a pain in the a s 2) latency is extreme In my opinion you overly exaggerated, the user friendliness is 3/10 due to connectivity problems and extreme latency
You’re shooting outside, how did you get camera and iPhone connected? usually those apps need Wi-Fi the same as camera uses. Obviously we can’t find wifi anywhere🙂 btw, good video overall
That’s an awesome app. However, it has a lot of lag and freezes with my Sony ZV-E10. The best wifi frequency is 5.0 but this camera does not have the option to switch frequencies. I wish there was a way to do it with with a cable.
Use monitor+ app, for iPhone use a lighting to camera usb 3.0 adapter. Or connect directly to USB c iPad. Monitor+ has directions/user manual in the app homepage on the top right. sucks you can’t directly connect the iPhone to the camera
I'm using a wired connection on this app, but shooting at 120fps the lag is intense. It almost hangs. I haven't tried shooting in 4K24. Any lag on that?
@@SidneyDiongzon Have you tried using the wired connection? I'm actually not using Wifi haha. But yeah, I think I need to test it out more. Thanks bro! Stay awesome!
As far as I can tell, this app doesn't have audio meters. That feature is crucial I would think for making sure your audio levels stay good. It is almost a deal breaker for me.
@Sydney Diongzon: thought you traded your daily iPhone 12 Pro in for a iPhone 13 mini …meanwhile changed your mind “mini” is the best, trading it in for a iPhone 13 ?
"I dont like using external monitors with my camera because you dont need any of that stuff. Also, I love this app because it is exactly all of the things I just said I dont need"
The one camera that you could really use it for, the A7III, it doesn't work......All these A7SIII etc. users now have 2 multidirectional monitors......If only I could get an A7SIII, but like the playstation, they are sold out until 2026......
What apps do YOU use for your video projects???
Field Monitor for my Sony a6400 and you must try it.
I wish there was an app which allows HDMI out from camera to USB-C on the phone.
@@MrMilanina there would be an app for it if it were possible but pretty much no phones do video IN on their port so an app can’t be made for it
Same! I sold my PortKeys, Feelworld, and Atomos monitors and replaced them with a new iPad mini. Not only was the iPad mini cheaper but it was more color accurate and higher resolution. I use my iPad mini as a monitor for my Red Komodos.
Oh snap, didn’t think to use the iPad mini! I’ll have to do that now!
What app do you use for the reds?

I just bought the app for my Sony FX3 with Galaxy s23 ultra, works like a charm
MAJOR NOTE for anybody using an A7C with this app.. switch your WiFi settings on the camera to 5ghz - it's set to 2.4 by default and that's a real bummer. Works like a charm once you make the switch though!
maybe is the same issue with the a7iii i'm gonna try !! thanks for the tip !!
This makes me want a new Sony!
It’s a really handy app! That proxy recording is so helpful
Such a good app! Thanks for the love fella 🤙🏻
Great discovery dude!
Yep, that s a great app and more versatile than field monitor, maybe not as good, but good enough for the use of non professional like me. And I also use it as remote when I’m away from my camera
Yep, same for me!
Great video, question: What brand are you using for your smart phone holder on top of your camera. Thx!
NVM you said it, thank you

YES! You’re absolutely right about that!
@@SidneyDiongzon sony a1 too?
whats name phone holder sony camera ? and is it work with iphone 14 pro max
"Michael Scott Paper Co. Intern" this is gold! so glad I caught this!
Haha! Glad you caught it!
You must check field monitor app too.
Oh I’ll check that out too!
Nice! Does it work with the a7iii?
Trying a similar combo with experia 1 ii and is work like a beast, both as a monitor and as a pov cam
Oh yeah?? I haven’t tried the Experia yet
@@SidneyDiongzon trust me you will love it !!
This video is awesome just downloaded and can’t wait to try it out rn!
Been using the Field Monitor app for a few years now.
Everyone has a big screen in their pocket nowadays, cameras manufacturers need to utilise the tech available, it will be cool to monitor using usb c connection without lag
Yep, very true!
Honestly I had my S21 Ultra wired via usb c on my 6600 and it was still pretty laggy
You may need to check your camera make/model though as a some Sony cameras aren’t supported, seems only the latest Sony, A7RIV, A7SIII, A7C etc are so A7III is not
I think Sony needs to buy this app company and integrate it in all their cameras ASAP!
@@SidneyDiongzon definitely, I did look at this option before buying an external monitor (from Chris’s video) but sadly as I have an A7III, this option was not for me, but definitely has potential

Awesome video, what coldshoe mount were you using for your phone to your camera?
I couldn’t hear the name of the coldshoe piece
Andycine
@@SidneyDiongzon thanks a lot
That’s very cool. Good to know. Thanks!
Hope this was helpful!
Did you try it wired connection? I wonder if it’s quicker
Does it disable face detection while using the app for you?
Sidney! What's the iPhone holder you're using?
as in, I dont see a link.
Just a random one from Zhiyun (Amazon)
Does eye-AF still work when using the app?
Is the app also suitable for Nikon D 750?
Do you have any issues with it dropping out or crashing using it wirelessly? I was thinking of getting an android device so I can plug in directly to the camera.
Used it for my a7siii and it worked great! However it drains your camera battery FAST! Once I find a workaround it would be perfect!
Does the app work with a7iii? And is it possible to tap focus on the phone for video in the a7iii. Regardless, gratitude brother, hope you and the fam are doing well!
dosent work for the a7iii
Thanks. Is there something similar for Cann mirrorless cameras? Thanks, Stefano
Awesome app but the lag and pause makes it almost unusable on ip11 and a7c. Any body have a workaround? Does the latency improve on the purchased version vs lite?
Hi, great ! Do you know which type of wire do you need to conect años iPhone 13 with a Sony 7iii
Hi Sidney, informative video, what's the name of that phone holder you used to mount the iphone?
holy crap, this app is magic! seriously considering selling my ninja v as I don't record in prores raw (files are too large)
I have tried this several times, The free version, iPhone 11 max pro and FX3 and it disconnects every 5-10 seconds and I have to reconnect with the QR code every time even though my camera is shown in the list..? Anybody have the same problem...? Thanks
when i press the recording button my iPhone 12 pro max become super laggy!! ny idea?? i am on 5Ghz already. your is super smooth
Is there one for Canon mirrorless cameras?
Awesome 🤩
Thanks for sharing
Can’t believe it works with the ZV-1, felt a bit odd having a 13 Pro Max on top of a small camera though 😂
Haha! That’s a flex!

Have you been able to find a monitor app that works for the 6600? I can’t get mine connected to my iPhone 12 via Bluetooth.
@@mrmeza78 no
imaging edge mobile worked
Says A7III unsupported in the application?
1) connecting is a pain in the a s
2) latency is extreme
In my opinion you overly exaggerated, the user friendliness is 3/10 due to connectivity problems and extreme latency
what is the name of this app?
Does it work for the Sony A7ii?
its not working for iphone 8 plus and sony a7r3
please tell me what should i do
How do you properly expose Slog-3? Without seeing your meetering mode?
my monitor + app disconnects all the time on my A7iv and is almost pushing me to buy a dedicated monitor.
Does this work for the a6600 camera?
You’re shooting outside, how did you get camera and iPhone connected? usually those apps need Wi-Fi the same as camera uses. Obviously we can’t find wifi anywhere🙂 btw, good video overall
But what about monitor aaaannnddd microphone mounted at the same time?!😢😢 haha great video Sidney. Going to check this out for sure
Thanks for watching!
The app doesn’t support my a6400 ;(
it didn't work with my A7 mark iii .. it says to connect with a cable can't connect wirelessly
It’s good….so is Chris’s channel ✌️
Yep! Chris is awesome!
Is it compatible with Sony A7m3 ?
I believe so!
@@SidneyDiongzon sadly it’s not. I have tried and a bunch of a reviews say it does not work. In my own experience it says it’s not supported.
Oh no!
The A7 III only supports USB connection ;)
@@haklo71 so with phone still? Or only andriod)
Does this support multicam?
whats name phone holder sony camera ? and is it work with iphone 14 pro max

Yeah, I’m hoping they update their app to be more stable because it’s sooo good!
same ZV E got some lagging problems
Use monitor+ app, for iPhone use a lighting to camera usb 3.0 adapter.
Or connect directly to USB c iPad.
Monitor+ has directions/user manual in the app homepage on the top right.
sucks you can’t directly connect the iPhone to the camera
Will this app work with a7m3
Well damn I wonder if it works with the Sony Cinema Cameras like the FS5 MKii, time to try out some new stuff.
Oh man, that would be dope to try out!
I'm using a wired connection on this app, but shooting at 120fps the lag is intense. It almost hangs. I haven't tried shooting in 4K24. Any lag on that?
Change your Wi-Fi in your camera to 5Ghz
@@SidneyDiongzon Have you tried using the wired connection? I'm actually not using Wifi haha. But yeah, I think I need to test it out more. Thanks bro! Stay awesome!

how is the latency?
It’s very minor
@@SidneyDiongzon thanks mate 🙌🏼
Anytime!
Is this app Available on Android
Can you touch to focus on the app?
Yes
Is it possible "clean" full screen with this app? Image with out menu?
yeah, if you swipe up on the screen the menu disappears
@@i_am_kayode That's perfect for me! Thanks Very useful info!! 👍🏻
@@aceitunova no problem. Currently testing this out for wedding work and seeing if it can replace my Atomos Ninja V, so far; so good 👍
@@i_am_kayode That's a perfect match for me! Mirrorles & iphone 😃👍🏻
Hey man. Just got the app for my A7iii and it is showing that my camera is not supported. What do I do??
same here :(
@Sydney Diongzon: thought you traded your daily iPhone 12 Pro in for a iPhone 13 mini …meanwhile changed your mind “mini” is the best, trading it in for a iPhone 13 ?
No, I’m still using the 13 Mini
How can I connect it to Sony A7ii?
Can someone please tell me the cable required to connect this to my android phone.🙏
Does anyone know if it’ll work with the a6000?
This is compatible with the a7riv/a
Is this App free to everyone??
Yeah but limited on what you can do with it unless you pay the $18-20$ for full features.
how do you connect it?
Funny how everyone saying the Imaging Edge App is Buggy when it's the only app that's connected to my ZVE-10 so far 😂 😂 Monitor+ refuses to connect
"I dont like using external monitors with my camera because you dont need any of that stuff. Also, I love this app because it is exactly all of the things I just said I dont need"
What about Eye detection When you take him portraits
Does it work on Sony a6400
Not sure tbh…I’ll have to test it out!
I've tried (on android) and it works!
Though you do need wired connection.
on my a7iii and cable record only on 1 sd
I cant find the app
apps.apple.com/us/app/monitor/id1554619768
Dam I dont have apple
The app does not support the A7iii so it makes it unusable for thousands or maybe millions of Sony users.
ARGH!
The one camera that you could really use it for, the A7III, it doesn't work......All these A7SIII etc. users now have 2 multidirectional monitors......If only I could get an A7SIII, but like the playstation, they are sold out until 2026......
Yeah, this chip shortage is really hurting a lot of industries
Need this for Nikon because SnapBridge is trash lol
Couldn't pair it to my a7iii
That's so cool
Yeah it really is! Thanks for watching!
Monitor + sucks like a turtle very slow
Gift me a phone from Nepal 🙃❤️
App is trash
