HDMI port broke on my Sony A7iii so have been using the Monitor Plus app on Google Pixel with a USB-C connection and tbh phones are the perfect sized monitors for run and gun filmmaking. I have shot a full documentary with that set up with no issues!
wow was hoping I could find someone saying something about a android device I wonder if itd work on my fire 10 with play store on it, if not I have the pixel 6
I’ve said it under other reviews that they could make a black “Pro” model that’s better materials and maybe utilize the ring around the eject cylinder to be a wireless charging ring for iOS.
Great video as usual. This device looks like a game-changer. If the displayed values are accurate, no more digging deep into camera menus, especially for those of us shoot fully manual. Awesome.
@@KenCheng Huh? Where was Apple even mentioned in this comment? He was just talking about digging into camera menus and you rudely just come stomping on a comment about a camera with cell phone jargon? Wow.
This is a simple solution for live streaming (over cellular) and using your DSLR as your camera. I'm not sure of other solutions for that, but this would do it. Thanks!
the biggest drawback in my opinion is that it can only record 1080p60 at h264 codec. almost every new cameramodel can transfer files over wifi or usb-c to you smartphone. what i would like to see is a device like that which can record proresraw internally and use the smartphone or tablet as a monitor. that would be game changing.
Not sure about other cameras out there but the Z-Cam E2 line can do all of this without any extra hardware (live stream, record to phone (proxy), monitor, & control) completely wireless via WIFI or via USB for zero latency.
I think this is a fantastic device, but at that price point I feel like you can get designated monitors that are larger in size and have a lot of the same features. It definitely has some unique ones like the live streaming and recording straight to your phone, but without any knowledge of how it changes someones workflow I don't know if it is entirely worth that price. The Sony A7iv already has a built in Bluetooth monitoring feature. It isn't the best but it gets the job done at no extra cost. If they could make it cheaper then it would definitely be a must have for beginners all the way up to professionals. Great video though!
@@THE_Container That is a fair point. I guess it just kind of depends on what you are utilizing that feature of the monitor. I think it also only externally records in HD so you are taking a hit on quality if you record externally. I'm not really an expert on monitors so I am not sure.
@@elijahgegen2924 it depends if you normally record in a higher resolution than HD. HD is still the standard and 4k is not common in pro environments. I would say its mostly used by gamer channels and that sort of thing. But broadcast standard, HD is still the normal. With extremal recorders you can usually record a higher quality. We use Sony cameras recording internally and Panasonic cameara recording externally as it allows 10 bit
Hey Caleb, couple questions: 1) What happens if notifications or calls come in during the recording? Can it continue to record in the background? Will the clip just end? 2) Can this be used to capture video and audio signal from a non-camera source over HDMI? Say recording a desktop screen? Thank you!
Thats actually some good thoughts. My opinion would be to turn off wifi/data when using your phone for video only. I am curious as to what Caleb recommends.
1. It is possible to answer the call in the notification banner. The app will continue to record if you do not change apps. We are working on background mode support. 2. You can capture any compatible HDMI signals up to 1080p 60FPS, including audio.
The recording ot the phone feature has another great use ... camneras that have 30 minute time limits. Let's say you have an older DSLR with a recording time limit and you don;t normally care but tonight you want to record your kids play wel ... 1080p at 20MBps (the max on my android wiith the app) is more than adequate and you don;t have the shell out 800$ (Canadian) plus for a Atomos Ninja V for this one off use (or occasional use).
This would look so much better on larger phone screen with USB-C. iPhone is still limited by its Lightning port. The latency is very noticable. This is why I bought a Note 20 Ultra, with FilmicPro and KineMaster software. Together, I have all the functions I need to film, edit and post videos to UA-cam. No exporting video files to a computer needed. Plus, the S-Pen makes editing on the large screen a breeze. The less parts, the better.
Android versions using USBC have existed for a few years now, multiple apps. Just one of the ways Android allows for more unique software for specific things like this over Apple, but glad to see they are allowing things like this. I can connect right to the USBC on my phone to the camera, don't need another device inbetween so I can just set the phone on a phone mount and I'm good to go! Can also use an old tablet as the monitor and then view remotely from my phone, hit record and handle other controls remotely as well
My biggest concern about this is the phone overheating and dimming. Even flying my drone on low power mode, it's kind of an issue and this device doesn't have room to squeeze in a cooler. Was phone overheating an issue in production use? Thank you for all you do!
Looks interesting, but I'd like to see a version for Android as well. Primarily because you can put a microSD card into nearly every Android device. Then it makes the phone into a practical recorder. I like iPhones, I carry one every day, but for more technical uses, I think that Android phones have the edge.
Technology is SUPER crazy right now! I knew this would come one day but I didn’t know it would be this good! The live stream part is TRULY a game changer! 😯 Having WiFi or Cell data built into the monitor (your iPhone) makes things MUCH more versatile! Thanks for the great, informative video as well! 🙏🏽 😊

They have an Andoid version called the Accsoon M1. The app on Android works with cheap HDMI to USB dongles (I've tested it with my cheap generic HDMY dongle, a OTG cable, a cellphone clamp and my Galaxy S10) but you don;t get the use of NPF batteries so the adapter is kind of cool.

Being a professional on location live streamer ...would love to hook my ATEM Extreme to this out in the field to livestream without having to lug around a computer/tablet and a mifi hotspot!!
This one seems way better than the Android one. I have many Android phones, iPhones and an iPad and I was waiting for an accsoon equivalent for iOS. Thanks for the review!
You will get much better picture quality with the SeeMo. M1 uses the MJPEG codec, which is less efficient than the H264 codec used in SeeMo. 20 Mbps in M1 is equivalent to 2-5 Mbps in SeeMo.
Heck yes!! I've been wanting this exact device for YEARS and there's no reason it should have taken this long for a professional company to make it. There's one company who has made a similar product. And they seem quite sketchy, and their app is an absurdly expensive monthly subscription model. So I'm excited! Will the Android app be out soon? Does the hardware make the video feed usable in other applications (UA-cam, Instagram, Filmic), or only theirs?
feature requets: since it is an smartphone app based field monitor, for livestream, audio can be made better as well, like some de-noise filters, audio compression?
Incredible find and super appreciated share! This is something that I’ve been waiting for, and although there have been attempts, this seems to be the best implemented. I’m picking this up for sure!
On the Canon R systems (R5/R6) it says that when the back LCD is on while it's simultaneously transmitting to a monitor like the Accsoon Seemo, it won't record to the card. So we can only record via the card and the screen when the back LDC is off when the monitor is on. Has anyone found a workaround to this?
I never knew I needed this until I saw this video. The Sony Experia has this feature built in, but that phone is expensive as hell just to use as a monitor.
8:14 And then there is this one more crazy thing…. Monitor with your AirPods…. Whaaaaat!! Mind blown right there. Caleb you really being in cool things allll the time. Your UA-cam channel should be called Cool Stuff Found!!
Thanks Caleb. I tried to use your amazon link but nothing came up. I went ahead and searched and purchased after using your link though so hopefully you'll get the credit for it.
I'd like to see you use this for an upcoming livestream. Some things I'm curious about: 1 - what are the minimum iPhone specs to use this device? 2 - does this mean you can use the ear pods as a microphone for livestreaming?
Hey Caleb, great vid again! Had a question, so if you shooting in 4k60, feed will not go through or will it be displayed as 1080 60? Btw, got DIY SM7B and set it up and did not disappoint at all 🙌🏻👍🏻🙌🏻.
I find the iPhone workflow is incredibly cumbersome to get footage into a NLE. If you want to publish directly from phone to internet through UA-cam Instagram app etc, this would be awesome.
So I just bought the Monitor+ app for Sony and after playing with it, it seems to have quite a few advantages over something like this. The most obvious is there is no big heavy battery needed. It's just a USB to the phone. But being a USB interface also gives it control over a bunch of settings. You can change exposure settings and such. It seems to have all of the monitoring tools I would want as well. I think when I shoot weddings now, I will run a USB up to a camera on a tripod extender and have the phone at an easy height since I have full control I won't need to touch the camera. Has any one used the Monitor+ app on shoots? It should at least be mentioned with an item like this.
@@OscarShu That is a good point. I wish an iphone could be wired. But I did have a cheap android lying around and it seems to work great on it. And it's a crappy phone, just the cheapest phone T-Mobile had when I needed to get off of thier Jump Program. I don't want to put my main phone (Note 20 Ultra) on my camera as I use it for other things. My office line is an iphone so I wish it could be used as a monitor. I might mess around with on wifi.
I have been looking for a device like this, since apple lauched the max vresion of the iphones. I got something similar to that from the monitor + app, but the lack of robustness on the app like getting signal trough wi-fi only made me wish for an alternative, like a capture card for iPhone, or native hardware support like the sony smartphones have, and there is where this device enters. I loved the livestraming function, it adds so much to it for broadcasters, specially if they made this compatible with the TVU and LiveU formats. The only thing this made me wish for is a sata port to record footage on an ssd instead of the phone memory, maybe a pro version in mate black? :)))
Have you ever attempted to utilize the app for capturing an incoming video stream directly from a camcorder, leveraging the camera's firewire out port along with a firewire to lightning adapter?
Okay, but the real question is how does it compare to the z cam ipman for $60. I feel like the $100 difference per spec is kind of a lot? Would love to know your thoughts
Those adapters use cheap micro-chip and those chips use MJPEG compression, due to the performance of the chips the compression ratio is very high, so the image quality is very low and have color issue. SeeMo adopte H.264 so the image quality is way more better than those adapters, you can check the comparison in Caleb's review. Also SeeMo is the only adapter which support iOS and passed Apple MFi certification.
Just wish the USB-C power output was PD and bi-directional, then you could potentially have a power bank charging your camera, phone, and run this device all at once with just 2 USB-C cables (one to this, one to camera).
I don't know if this is iphone specific, but it would only work on the new new iphone with USB-C port. Which androids have had for several years. Also you can get a $20 HDMI USB capture device and an android phone for the price of this thing. Maybe even 2
Hi Keyleb, if you see this I want to ask you to consider to make a video (if you can of course) about the ATEM mini pro iso and how to use for recoding video for UA-cam with multicamera setup, cables, monitors, and how to setup and workflow. There some video about that but nobody really explains it, and I feel like you are the only person who can explain it. And I am asking specifically about recoding UA-cam video and NOT live streams. If possible, I know you made a video about the ATEM mini before, may be you can make a new one. Thank you.
I can’t see myself using my phone as a monitor, really. When on a shoot, I use my phone all the time, from taking scouting/ framing reference pictures, to messaging with crew and production people to taking or consulting notes, checking interview questions,, Google Maps, weather app, sunseeker or PhotoPills or even actually calling someone! A monitor needs to sit on the camera all the time, ready to shoot and not depending from the use I do of my phone. I can’t see myself take it on and off from the camera 45 times a day. I think this is a vastly underrated con about this kind of product.
I really like these products as I have less number of items per set and hence my time saver. i played your full video, video latency is almost negligible but i am sure screen mirror to phone to monitor how is response with apple product or other brand product
Awesome video. Excellent information and really answers a lot of questions I have about this device. However, I'd like to know two things... 1. Can I use this for still photography? 2. Will this work with a Canon Rebel T7?
1, Yes if your camera can output video via HDMI when set to photo mode, but it can's support image files transmission because HDMI can only support video transmission. 2, Yes if Rebel T7 can output 1080p video via HDMI.
Hey Caleb, Jordon Drake said you can’t charge the phone and get the video feed at once. You implied you can get the video while charging your phone using the 5V output at the start of this video. Can you confirm if this works or not?
A wireless charger is the only way to charge your phone while using SeeMo at the moment. You can connect a 5V Qi charger to the 5V output port of SeeMo. You can also use the Apple MagSafe charger for fast charging. However, SeeMo can charge your iPad at 5V. The Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro is necessary if you want to charge your iPad faster.
@@nkisystems I’m sorry but this extremely convoluted description is not a viable option for professional work. If we are using the Lightning port for data transmission is needs to also power the phone. Set life is usually 6hrs between breaks minimum and you aren’t going to reliably get 6hrs of screen on time plus recharge fully in a 30-45min lunch period to go the next +6hrs.
@@TheTechnoPilot You can use the MagSafe charger to provide power while you phone is connected to SeeMo. We love to charge iPhone through the lightning connection, but it’s not possible at this moment due to Apple imposed restrictions.
@@nkisystems thanks, your suggested workaround i have thought so too. one issue is the clamp that came along does not work (not tight enough) with the Magsafe charger nor apple battery pack.
This looks awesome! So can I record with my camera and do only the live stream with this at the same time? I guess yes but better to ask before I buy 😁
Thanks for the video. I'm having an issue with the reliability of the Canon Connect app and would like to find a cabled alternative to that. Is there any way to control the cameras shutter, aperture, iso and AF settings though this sytem?
It’s hard to justify any monitor aside from a Monitor/Recorder like the Ninja V or the Blackmagic monitor. I’m personally getting this instead of a monitor.

On the Canon R systems (R5/R6) it says that when the back LCD is on while it's simultaneously transmitting to a monitor like the Accsoon Seemo, it won't record to the card. So we can only record via the card and the screen when the back LDC is off when the monitor is on. Has anyone found a workaround to this?
Man so many uses and that streaming anywhere option would be great! Tempting
I'd love to c 265- 422 colour space. Now that would b a real winner!
Cool product! I love having a ninja V to overcome canon overheating and record limits.
I never knew I needed this until I saw this video. The Sony Experia has this feature built in, but that phone is expensive as hell just to use as a monitor.
I was so hoping you’d do a review & BOOM there it is..great work as always. 🎥🖋💪🏻
Been waiting for something like this.
Wait whuat? Is this really happening? I've never won anything in my life?! Also what's telegram?
8:14 And then there is this one more crazy thing…. Monitor with your AirPods….
Whaaaaat!! Mind blown right there. Caleb you really being in cool things allll the time. Your UA-cam channel should be called Cool Stuff Found!!
Looks like an awesome tool. I will definitely look into purchasing one.
This is exactly what I’ve been waiting for!!!
Thanks Caleb. I tried to use your amazon link but nothing came up. I went ahead and searched and purchased after using your link though so hopefully you'll get the credit for it.
Welcome to your day and for everyone in strength, health, peace! Thank you very much for the informative sharing! Good luck!
👍🍀🇭🇺🌞👆
I'd like to see you use this for an upcoming livestream. Some things I'm curious about: 1 - what are the minimum iPhone specs to use this device? 2 - does this mean you can use the ear pods as a microphone for livestreaming?
iphone 6S PLUS is work
@@user-gv7gf6zy2b This is the kind of reply I like to hear!
Hey Caleb, great vid again! Had a question, so if you shooting in 4k60, feed will not go through or will it be displayed as 1080 60? Btw, got DIY SM7B and set it up and did not disappoint at all 🙌🏻👍🏻🙌🏻.
Most of the camera can output 1080p60 when the shooting format is 4K60p.
Hi there. Does the device work with another brand smartphones such as Smasung? Thanks
Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks
The side by side is almost identical, just a hair brighter and a hair soft on reds.
it looks good and all that but id wait for the < V2 > for better made quality . maybe
Definitely a game changer
That is a very cool device! I had seen a few videos about their M1. The Android one is tempting. 😄
I find the iPhone workflow is incredibly cumbersome to get footage into a NLE. If you want to publish directly from phone to internet through UA-cam Instagram app etc, this would be awesome.
So I just bought the Monitor+ app for Sony and after playing with it, it seems to have quite a few advantages over something like this. The most obvious is there is no big heavy battery needed. It's just a USB to the phone. But being a USB interface also gives it control over a bunch of settings. You can change exposure settings and such. It seems to have all of the monitoring tools I would want as well. I think when I shoot weddings now, I will run a USB up to a camera on a tripod extender and have the phone at an easy height since I have full control I won't need to touch the camera. Has any one used the Monitor+ app on shoots? It should at least be mentioned with an item like this.
well, if it is iPhone, the Monitor+ can only support WIFI, and it is not stable
@@OscarShu It can be run wired but only via Android. I have an iPhone but am getting a cheap Android tablet just to run the app lol.
@@OscarShu That is a good point. I wish an iphone could be wired. But I did have a cheap android lying around and it seems to work great on it. And it's a crappy phone, just the cheapest phone T-Mobile had when I needed to get off of thier Jump Program. I don't want to put my main phone (Note 20 Ultra) on my camera as I use it for other things. My office line is an iphone so I wish it could be used as a monitor. I might mess around with on wifi.
Sure. But it doesn’t record h264 in the phone!
I bought it last week and its been a life saver. Its too good. I use it wirelessly on my android
I have been looking for a device like this, since apple lauched the max vresion of the iphones. I got something similar to that from the monitor + app, but the lack of robustness on the app like getting signal trough wi-fi only made me wish for an alternative, like a capture card for iPhone, or native hardware support like the sony smartphones have, and there is where this device enters. I loved the livestraming function, it adds so much to it for broadcasters, specially if they made this compatible with the TVU and LiveU formats.
The only thing this made me wish for is a sata port to record footage on an ssd instead of the phone memory, maybe a pro version in mate black? :)))
Have you ever attempted to utilize the app for capturing an incoming video stream directly from a camcorder, leveraging the camera's firewire out port along with a firewire to lightning adapter?
Okay, but the real question is how does it compare to the z cam ipman for $60. I feel like the $100 difference per spec is kind of a lot? Would love to know your thoughts
Those adapters use cheap micro-chip and those chips use MJPEG compression, due to the performance of the chips the compression ratio is very high, so the image quality is very low and have color issue. SeeMo adopte H.264 so the image quality is way more better than those adapters, you can check the comparison in Caleb's review. Also SeeMo is the only adapter which support iOS and passed Apple MFi certification.
This is awesome tool 😮.. I will definitely be checking it out..
This is cool. The pro version is really dope.
Just wish the USB-C power output was PD and bi-directional, then you could potentially have a power bank charging your camera, phone, and run this device all at once with just 2 USB-C cables (one to this, one to camera).
179 but i also see and lcd external screen for 100 feelworld monitor idkk what to get
Im guessing it opens to accommodate different sizes, 5.4 inches to 6.7 , looking for this for years. great find
I don't know if this is iphone specific, but it would only work on the new new iphone with USB-C port. Which androids have had for several years. Also you can get a $20 HDMI USB capture device and an android phone for the price of this thing. Maybe even 2
so no mention that you can’t use external power to charge your phone. how long will this last at full brightness? not long i suspect
Cna you use this wiht another lavalier mics? Awesome vid
Hi Keyleb, if you see this I want to ask you to consider to make a video (if you can of course) about the ATEM mini pro iso and how to use for recoding video for UA-cam with multicamera setup, cables, monitors, and how to setup and workflow. There some video about that but nobody really explains it, and I feel like you are the only person who can explain it. And I am asking specifically about recoding UA-cam video and NOT live streams. If possible, I know you made a video about the ATEM mini before, may be you can make a new one. Thank you.
Would love to see a follow up video of how the live works & quality if you use the feature out shooting somewhere

Apple also has a habit of putting very colour accurate, and large gamut displays in everything they make. Didn't all the 13s have p3 HDR displays?
Yes, you are correct.
I can’t see myself using my phone as a monitor, really. When on a shoot, I use my phone all the time, from taking scouting/ framing reference pictures, to messaging with crew and production people to taking or consulting notes, checking interview questions,, Google Maps, weather app, sunseeker or PhotoPills or even actually calling someone!
A monitor needs to sit on the camera all the time, ready to shoot and not depending from the use I do of my phone. I can’t see myself take it on and off from the camera 45 times a day.
I think this is a vastly underrated con about this kind of product.
I really like these products as I have less number of items per set and hence my time saver. i played your full video, video latency is almost negligible but i am sure screen mirror to phone to monitor how is response with apple product or other brand product
When Caleb forgets about Android users! BUT I am still getting it to use on my spare iPhone 12.
Awesome video. Excellent information and really answers a lot of questions I have about this device. However, I'd like to know two things...
1. Can I use this for still photography?
2. Will this work with a Canon Rebel T7?
1, Yes if your camera can output video via HDMI when set to photo mode, but it can's support image files transmission because HDMI can only support video transmission.
2, Yes if Rebel T7 can output 1080p video via HDMI.
Hey Caleb, Jordon Drake said you can’t charge the phone and get the video feed at once. You implied you can get the video while charging your phone using the 5V output at the start of this video. Can you confirm if this works or not?
A wireless charger is the only way to charge your phone while using SeeMo at the moment. You can connect a 5V Qi charger to the 5V output port of SeeMo. You can also use the Apple MagSafe charger for fast charging. However, SeeMo can charge your iPad at 5V. The Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro is necessary if you want to charge your iPad faster.
@@nkisystems I’m sorry but this extremely convoluted description is not a viable option for professional work. If we are using the Lightning port for data transmission is needs to also power the phone. Set life is usually 6hrs between breaks minimum and you aren’t going to reliably get 6hrs of screen on time plus recharge fully in a 30-45min lunch period to go the next +6hrs.
@@TheTechnoPilot You can use the MagSafe charger to provide power while you phone is connected to SeeMo. We love to charge iPhone through the lightning connection, but it’s not possible at this moment due to Apple imposed restrictions.
@@nkisystems thanks, your suggested workaround i have thought so too. one issue is the clamp that came along does not work (not tight enough) with the Magsafe charger nor apple battery pack.
This looks awesome! So can I record with my camera and do only the live stream with this at the same time? I guess yes but better to ask before I buy 😁
Are you able to screen record your camera setting in Photography mode???
Thanks for the video. I'm having an issue with the reliability of the Canon Connect app and would like to find a cabled alternative to that. Is there any way to control the cameras shutter, aperture, iso and AF settings though this sytem?
It also looks like the "tilt" function is quite loose. Could be distracting if recording action and a lot of camera movement.
For that money and perhaps a little more I can get a filed monitor and save my iPhone for phone calls. What would be the difference in your view?
I agree on the colour
Is that the only way to used your old iphone (iphone 6 plus) into a monitor? I would love to use my old iphone as a monitors on my iphone 15 Pro Max
New subscriber. I commend you for the excellent content. Stay shining King. Hoping to collab with you one day.
How do you like it compared to Monitor+ ? Obviously there are some different features/use cases. But where things overlap, which is superior?
It’s hard to justify any monitor aside from a Monitor/Recorder like the Ninja V or the Blackmagic monitor.
I’m personally getting this instead of a monitor.
Can I use this to change my focus point? Can I see audio levels? Sorry if I missed either of those.
Nice review appreciate the honesty. Love to try one out❤
