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!
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.
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.
@@GinnyAline_laughs most pro phones cost over $1000 $1500 with case charger battery pack wireless charger. So all cameras under $1500 or $1000 are CRAP then? Thanks for showing us your lack of knowledge of phones and camera prices.
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
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?
Everything sounds amazing, just want to ask if I can use it for photography, not only for video. I need to be able to see the framing and the focus spot in real time and also preview the images from the gallery of the camera onto the phone screen - is that possible with that device and app?
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!
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.
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?
Could you use this device and app to record video while in photo mode on the Canon r5 in order to grab videos while you are conducting a photo session?
Nice test ! It could be interesting to compare this product to the Ninja V / V+ : codecs quality, storage cost (ssd vs iPhone storage !), boot time, reliability, etc... Thanks !
Does it charge the iphone wirelessly while using lightening port to feed hdmi signal? Because otherwise battery of the iphone will be drained very fast
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.
Nice vid. I got mine about a week ago haven’t had time to dig into it. Can you share how can I import a LUT to the app so I can use it for monitoring? And if I can import more than one? Thanks! I’ll check out other vids I like your vibe 🥃
Great video. Question?? How can I go live using my IPad Pro and my IPhone to get the code? I did it once using my MacBook Pro. When I’m using my MacBook on Facebook I can recover the code going through the steps. So how can I receive the code using my IPhone to copy and paste into the iPad that’s attached to the camera?
Can you turn the monitor (iPhone) around so I can see myself while recording...or does it have to be in the position of the shooter? Asking because my camera doesn't have a flip screen to see if I'm positioned correctly.
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.
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).
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.
Do you think this device can take the place of ninja five? Does this unit have time code capabilities? If I have multiple Units with three cameras can it sync up together?
You forgot to show what's looks like on the screen when you plug the cable to an iPhone. Is it when you attach the cable it automatically open the interface on the screen? or what. We don't have any idea.
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.

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 have a Sony FX 3 and just bought the ACCSOON SeeMo. I hooked it up following the instructions, but I can only see the output on the SeeMo and not on my LCD screen. All the reviews I have watched show both screens live. Do you think that this is a defective unit? Also, the fan goes on in this unit. Too bad because I could really like this device.
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!
If you want to have video out to the phone, and charge the phone using the 5V port, do you need some kind of splitter? Not sure how that will work otherwise. Are these Sony batteries the same as the ones found in A7 series cameras?
