I have the 5” version and I find the best feature is the tally light!!!! It doesn’t show up as red on my monitor but it creates a white box along the border to show that it’s recording and all touch screen/ camera control glory aside, KNOWING that I’m recording from my monitor is so clutch.
I have this monitor and one of the tings that stood out for me was the fan noise. Though not as loud as the Atomos Ninja, it is there. Another thing, and this might just be my version, but touch focus needs to be initiated on the Sony camera first before it becomes active on the monitor itself.
This is you just want a battery for the monitor. amzn.to/4eF0OUM Or this if you want to lower more peripherals/ the camera amzn.to/3Bi5YYk You can watch my rig videos to get a better sense of how I do the latter
I've reviewed this monitor and found the menu to be quite perplexing and unintuitive. It's noteworthy that you also pointed out this aspect. On the flip side, I'm genuinely impressed by the ample screen real estate it provides, which is certainly a strong advantage.
Thanks for saying this. I tested it to and found the menu to be so bad that its a dealbreaker for me. I cant understand how so many youtubers like it or dont mention it. If they had a good OS i would defenitely buy this monitor.
I'm currently in the market for a new monitor and I'm between this and the M1 Mars. Although mars also has a terrible interface, it has a built in wireless transceiver that allows phones and tablets to also view the camera so clients and collaborators can also see what the camera is seeing via a downloaded app. However, being able to control my Sony camera from the monitor would also be amazing. Urgh!
No latency in image transmission or anything. There’s just a very slight lag when tapping things on the screen. This is true of everything though (not just Wi-Fi mode)
UI is bad,,, took a lot to get connected to camera wifi,,,,, and I wish the sides and bottom menu banners would disappear ,, after using touch to focus,,,,,, its like a 5 inch screen at that point.
The labyrinth comment reminded me of the onion video “Sony piece of shit” 😂😂😂 “ if you can claw and tooth your way through the packaging you are presented with a labyrinthian maze of erroneous menu options of used to fucking no one” 😂😂😂😂
Camera monitors boring? Are they supposed to be fun? How can a monitor be fun? The idea is that they fulfill their function well and that's it. That sounds like a comment from an 8 year old.
Great video. I’ve purchased 3 monitors and I hate them because I don’t have full features of my fx30. I’ll try this one. Let me know if you still recommend this one.
have u noticed any audio interference caused by connecting to the monitor through wifi ? on my sony a7iv, ive tried to use the Imagining edge app for remote shooting, in order to do so I would connect my phone or ipad to my cameras wifi. but when i do this, it introduces audio interference.
i need help! my lh7p show light reading capped at 70+ ire on all luma/rgb waveform & zebra when i point the camera towards bright light. This changed when i turn off pp8 and use neutral color profile . but still it capped at 90+ ire. when shooting in pp8 i had to set my zebra high to 79 ire to make it show the peaking color for highlights. if i set it over than 79 the peak color totally dissappear. im using the monitor with sony a7iv
Hi friend, some of our monitors can control some functions of FX6, but I am sorry that our monitors now can't touch focus with FX6. But the technicians have received many feedbacks about FX6. Probably they will release new firmware to achieve what you want. Hope you can pay attention to our products in the future~@@stephen_hughes
There’s instructions on their UA-cam channel. The camera screen is in Chinese in the video, which makes it a little tough to follow. But only have to do it once
If I have a Canon EOS R10 could the monitor still be used on it at all or just the wireless feature controls can't be used. Ultimately, I like the crop guide to film horizontally with vertical guides for the 9x16. If it can't work with a Canon EOS R10 what other 7-inch external monitor would you recommend with crop guides?
It's it fully wireless like no wires at all don't want to waste my money when there is better out there with wires was just buying this because I don't want any wires on the gimbal please let me know thanks
@@kylemeshna ok thanks man so it's not fully wireless like they claim thanks going to buy something else like the Desview R6 Camera Field Monitor, 5.5 inch 2800nits Ultra High Brightness Full HD 1920x1080 IPS
Bro I have so many of these. I have a huge nugget and this was one of the first companies that make hats that look good for my big ass head.@@kylemeshna
Thanks for the Infos really impressive. I am afraid that the nits aren’t enough and in the past i had issues with andycine and feelwrold (2000nits) the screen outdoors with sun it’s mirroring and I can’t see almost nothing. Have you tested it outdoors with sun?
After using it I would describe it as pretty much useless for users of S-log3, since rather than displaying the actual ISO, it just says "AUTO" rather than giving a numeric value: due to this when the ISO clips below 640, you are completely unaware of it, unless you're staring at the smaller monitor, which completely removes the purpose of this monitor if you're constantly having to check your camera's monitor, especially outdoors. I'm saying unless this problem is fixed in a firmware update its a 100% waste for 10-bit Slog3 users.
i'm not sure i'm understanding this correctly... are you saying this happens when using auto-iso? why would it "clip below 640" if you weren't using auto iso
Thanks for you video. I followed almost all your reviews. A qq. I am in the market to buy monitor for my automotive videography. Should i go for - Portkeys LH5p ii - Portkeys LH7P - Ninja Atmos 5 / 5+ thanks in advance !
The fan is offensively loud
레코딩영상에 팬소음이 그대로 녹음되어 짜증납니다.
does this come with a dTap cable?
No it does not
oh that sucks...trying to find the correct cable, got any links? I suck when I comes to that stuff lol @@kylemeshna

Yeah this one has the red tally box around the whole screen when recording. Super clutch
I have this monitor and one of the tings that stood out for me was the fan noise. Though not as loud as the Atomos Ninja, it is there. Another thing, and this might just be my version, but touch focus needs to be initiated on the Sony camera first before it becomes active on the monitor itself.
The setup to get the touch / Wi-Fi working is… cumbersome
Where can i get a battery for this monitor because most of them are without batteries
This is you just want a battery for the monitor.
amzn.to/4eF0OUM
Or this if you want to lower more peripherals/ the camera
amzn.to/3Bi5YYk
You can watch my rig videos to get a better sense of how I do the latter
got something against the ZV-E1? when you put the tilta cage/fan on it its basically a fx3 (minus the second sd slot and fullsized hdmi port)
I’ve recently got the ZV-E1 and I absolutely love it!
I mean def a few more limitations than you’re leading on compared to an fx3, but sure it’s a great cam for the buck for sure
I've reviewed this monitor and found the menu to be quite perplexing and unintuitive. It's noteworthy that you also pointed out this aspect. On the flip side, I'm genuinely impressed by the ample screen real estate it provides, which is certainly a strong advantage.
definitely agree

@@mmmilan in my review I mentioned it C most UA-camrs are just afraid to upset brands that’s why they make everything sound like Gold .
Dear customer, we released a new UI for LH7P. You can know the detail via this video from 2:05: ua-cam.com/video/gzotzuZS9iU/v-deo.html @@mmmilan
It took you 5 minutes to make your point and fulfill your call to action. Not cool.
If only there were chapter markers…
1000 nits just will not cut it outdoors....I'd rather have a smaller monitor that records....

Thanks for review. And how about focusing? Is this monitor good / sharp / etc enough to manual focusing. Is focus peaking exact?
Do prefer this one over the BM video assist, especially with the upcoming price drop?
How is the latency on wifi mode? Is there a lot of lag?
No latency in image transmission or anything. There’s just a very slight lag when tapping things on the screen. This is true of everything though (not just Wi-Fi mode)
UI is bad,,, took a lot to get connected to camera wifi,,,,, and I wish the sides and bottom menu banners would disappear ,, after using touch to focus,,,,,, its like a 5 inch screen at that point.
I do agree. Wish the menus went away when in touch mode
Yeah 5 is small and 7 is large haha
You really like Gerald Undone, right? First time seeing on of your videos. Nonetheless cool review
Does the HDMI output include the lut? or does it bypass it and only ouput log?
Hi friend, LH7P has 3D LUT output function.
The labyrinth comment reminded me of the onion video “Sony piece of shit” 😂😂😂 “ if you can claw and tooth your way through the packaging you are presented with a labyrinthian maze of erroneous menu options of used to fucking no one” 😂😂😂😂
Time vampire 😂😂😂
Unfortunately for monitor companies the monitor+ app already does all that for sony cameras .
Yeah, the User interface is what killed it for me. No thanks..... I'll stick with the Atomos.

Great video. I’ve purchased 3 monitors and I hate them because I don’t have full features of my fx30. I’ll try this one. Let me know if you still recommend this one.
New Atamos Shimoda might be better. It’s easier to set up
@@kylemeshna ouch that monitor is $600.
I also have been using my phone with the Monitor + app lately. Full control of all your settings, tap to focus, record. And only $20 for the app
@@kylemeshna oh wow, I didn’t even know you could do that
I just bought this monitor on last night so I’m looking forward to seeing how it works.
I wish it was brighter, my search continues. I want something that will be better than my phone with sony / camera control app, including brightness.
How is the battery life?
It doesn’t have a battery. So depends what battery you’re using
Whoaaa….. you can autofocus from the monitor ????????? Damn it. I just got the osee lilmon 5 hmmm can I return my monitor lol
How can I set the monitor to display the lighting, aperture and ISO value?
Did you have any issues with NPF batteries? Just got mine today and cant even mount one 😪

I have a portkeys, and I totally agree that the UI is a maze
Shame it won't do it for the FX6
Hi friend, could you tell me what funtion you want the monitor have? Your suggestion will help us to improve our monitors~ Thanks.
@@PortkeysMonitor It would be amazing if you could do everything the FX6 monitor could do. Touch focus, change setting etc.

Why didnt you like the 5 inch? Its much better
Just bought and had to buy an adapter to fit into camera, shows that my hdmi isn’t connected? Any tips on a better cable?
I use Kondor Blue cables
Might need to add this to my kit!
Doit!
i thought a few other monitors could do this? the BMP5 and 7, at least
Hi
What Bluetooth camera control range in feet would this camera have?
Have you tested that yet?
In the absence of any obstacles, it should work within approximately seven meters.
How do you conmect wireless for Sony...what are the steps on cam...manual is useless.
There’s instructions on their UA-cam channel. The camera screen is in Chinese in the video, which makes it a little tough to follow. But only have to do it once

If it can't work with a Canon EOS R10 what other 7-inch external monitor would you recommend with crop guides?
PHi friend, LH7P can work with Canon EOS R10. LH7P has crop function.
Does this monitor work for canon r5c
But does this wireless function also work with the Sony fx6?
I am sorry that LH7P doesn't support controlling Sony fx6. BM7IIDS/BM5WR/BM5III/LH5PII can control FX6 via lanc control cable.
It's it fully wireless like no wires at all don't want to waste my money when there is better out there with wires was just buying this because I don't want any wires on the gimbal please let me know thanks
You’ll need something to send the HDMI signal. Which you could do wirelessly with something like an Acsoon or with a wire
@@kylemeshna ok thanks man so it's not fully wireless like they claim thanks going to buy something else like the Desview R6 Camera Field Monitor, 5.5 inch 2800nits Ultra High Brightness Full HD 1920x1080 IPS
You lost me with the usb
Hey man! i love your cap, is it Meshna brand or something? 😀
it's from Melin! I used to have a discount code, but it isn't working anymore 😭

Not sure how this is happening either? I’ve never had any issues with ISO settings. I don’t use auto iso ever though
any reccomendation for a monitor under $400?
Thanks for you video. I followed almost all your reviews.
A qq. I am in the market to buy monitor for my automotive videography.
Should i go for
- Portkeys LH5p ii
- Portkeys LH7P
- Ninja Atmos 5 / 5+
thanks in advance !
LH7P if you want a bigger screen, 5p II if you want smaller. Ninja is you need external recording
do you think it will be too big for the zv-e10?
yes definitely feel quite unbalanced with the ZV E10. I'd look at the 5inch version instead amzn.to/48HkTWU
I will not suscribe..
Ok!
@@kylemeshna well. Ehm. It's just the vibe.. you know. No hard feelings.
Good luck with the channel anyway.
