Thanks for sharing. I use this solution sometimes but I will add, you can get capture cards with usb c pig tails eliminating the need for the additional usb c extension cable. Good video. 👍🏼
Thanks for watching:) Yes I have been looking for that capture card with the built in usb c, it would be a better solution than my "clumsy" cable management. But the principal was more important in the video :-)
You just tap the phone screen - and you can also zoom in and out just like a normal touch screen. Sorry if this wasn`t What you meant.. Thanks for watching :-)
1. Does it record to the phone or the cameras SE card? 2. Is there a record limit? 3. Does it record 4k? 4. Does it work on iPhone? Thank you for making this video!!!
Hi, thank you for watching:-) Well, I`ll try to answer in short form here: 1. You record to your camera sd card automatically. You can also record to Your phone, but it needs to be specified in the app (usb camera app) 2. The record limit is decided by codec, resolution and what Storage space you have. 3. You can record in 4K to your phone, but make sure you have a video capture card that supports 4k resolution. If you record to Your camera sd card there will off course be no problem. 4. It does work on Iphone, just download the USB Camera app from App Store, you can choose the free version or the pro version, depending on your needs. There is a hole lot of things you can do with this solution, for example you can make live streams directly to a social media platform via the phone, using an external camera. :-)
I have an HDMI Video Capture card, but I cannot find the right app to connect my dslr camera to my iPhone. I tried the CamX-USB Camera, but it still won't connect to my camera. Any suggestions? Thanks.
I am using an app called "usb camera" and it works fine. It comes in a free version and a pro for a few bucks. You can download it from google play for android, or App store if you use Iphone.
My dslr's liveview mode is not working because of a shutter error. But the viewfinder does work and can take pictures with it. Will this setup work even if this is the case?
I would think so. This setup takes signals from the HDMI, and the camera screen will be shutting off during the use of the external monitor anyways. But I haven`t tried it under that specific issue, so this is just a guess.
Yes, you should be able to do live streaming using this setup. But It`s probably vice to buy the pro version of the USB Camera app with slightly more advanced settings. And not at least, you will get rid of the adds that pops up in the free version when you are online.
does the video capture card is mandatory? can i just plug micro hdmi to hdmi -> hdmi to c (direct to phone)?
Can also use camera monitor and smartphone display at the same time?

I have some short cables on order. How do you get the full width? Great video. Thanks ❤❤❤

Great video, I think this is something ive been looking for. I just want to use my phone as a monitor and see all the settings.
Thanks, yes it can be helpful to have a bigger screen to monitor settings and focus in an easy way :-)

It's good to use an HDMI to micro HDMI coiled cable because it looks more tidy for cable management. Good video sharing here.
Thanks, I agree with you - the cable should be coiled for better cable management, but I did not have one at that time unfortunately :-)
Thanks for your response 🙏🙏
You`re welcome - and thanks for watching :-)

is it work for fujifilm xe2 bro ???
As long as the camera has HDMI, it will work :)
What about the multi-function shoe adapter for smartphone link (Canon AD-P1)?
I`m not that familiar with the device, looks interesting though :)
Is it possible to go live with this setup?
Yes, you should be able to do live streaming using this setup. But It`s probably vice to buy the pro version of the USB Camera app with slightly more advanced settings. And not at least, you will get rid of the adds that pops up in the free version when you are online.
