After I connect my Sony A7iv to this monitor via WiFi it doesn’t mirror my camera monitor. And also my menu system looks totally different from every video that I’ve seen with this monitor. I actually sent back the first LH5P II because I thought it was defective because it was not displaying the image from my camera but I was able to control the settings like record, shutter, etc. But again the menu on my Portkeys monitor looks completely different than everyone else’s. For example I can’t swipe left, right, up or down. I’m super confused because I can’t find anyone with the same issues. I’m thinking it’s user error now since this is my second monitor. But again the menu looks completely different. I don’t know if you can help but any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks Pav for this excellent review. Looking to purchase now, appears to be sold out everywhere for over a month. Any thoughts on this? Also the two most scathing (bad) reviews on Amazon have to do with overheating. What are your thoughts on this now that you've had it for over a year. How big an issue would this be on a sunny summer day?
How does this PortKeys compare with an iPhone running Monitor+? On a Sony Monitor+ connects to the camera via wifi. Touch focus works well. LUTS, false color, and focus peaking are all there too. An iPhone also seems to compare favorably wrt to NITS as well. It would be great to see some commentary on this as youtube videos on Monitor+ are doing very well.
I have used this one and the bigger LH7P with a7IV and a7sIII and never had any major problems with the cameras connecting to the monitor quickly. Maybe once or twice I had to switch both off and on again and it worked again
@@PavSZ interesting, thats really good to hear! i just saw the price of the lh5p though and thats far more than i would want to spend to just get touch focs :(
Good morning, I've recently discovered your channel this year and I'm enjoying your content. Question please.... I shoot very often with two cameras. A7s3 and A74. I shoot with a Tamron 1.4 35 mark 2 and the Sigma 1.4 85. I ensure the pic profiles are the same and the white balance is the same. However...the 85 always makes skin look a litttttttttle green. Do you a) know why this is or / and b) do you have a video on this I can link to please? Thanks Lee
I shoot with those two cameras often at the same time too. What you are describing is very common. All lenses (even sometimes those from the same brand) have different characteristics and capture colour and contrast differently. This usually is fairly easy to fix in post
@@PavSZ yes. I've been correcting the white balance in lightroom. Thankfully it does fix the issue. Keep up the good work. I'm hoping Sigma release the 70-200 soon 🙏🏻
I cant figure out how to connect to get it to wirelessly control my A7iii. Every time I connect via wifi none of the camera control options show. Do you know what im doing wrong?
swipe down, connect the camera via wifi and then select 'focus'. The touch focus should work then. It also works better once you select zone or point focusing mode in your camera (that can be selected via the monitor as well)
Great video! I have the Sony FX3 and also the A7IV and I want this monitor. Noticing some differences in the way B&H and Amazon sell this same monitor. Need some advice from people who have purchased this monitor. B&H sells multiple different versions of this monitor? This implies that you need a specific version of this monitor to be compatible with your specific brand of camera and it's not in stock for Sony cameras either so you must wait 2-4 weeks for it. The same exact make and model monitor is advertised as in stock on Amazon for the same price but it says that their single advertised model is: "Compatible with Canon, Sony, Panasonic, BMPCC, ZCam and Gimbals." Can't find the reasoning for this on either website or the web. Can someone smarter than me please help me figure this out??????????????
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 - Ninja Atmos 5 / 5+ thanks in advance !
hey! Thanks for watching my videos. You can't compare these two directly. Totally different price and class monitors. One that is just a monitor with touch control of some of the cameras and the other is a SSD recorder as well. It will all depend on your budget, your camera and personal preference
Good morning I have an LH5p II monitor and a Sony A7sIII When using to record video all ok. But when I go to take pictures with the Wifi on. The camera keeps recording a photo on the camera's internal SSD for several minutes, crashing the entire system. When I turn off the Wifi on the monitor everything goes back to normal. It seems that the camera wants to record the photos on the monitor and cannot. Anyone else with this problem? thanks
@@PavSZ It doesn’t work for me and Port Key support is silent, they don’t say anything, I’m waiting ..... although there is my camera model in the instructions ...
@@PavSZ It’s a pity, the port case is also looking for a camera to check, although I thought such a company should have test checks before selling, I can’t control the camera, but it’s stated in the instructions, I can’t find information on the Internet either, only about GH 6 - to it immediately connects, but it doesn’t gh5s connect to mine

First!! Dude this monitor looks dope!
It is dope!
Second!!
I just got this monitor
Hi there, great video! But can you tell me, why I can't see the battery level???
very interesting monitor, thank you for share !
Thank you for watching!
You said this isn't as bright as the ninja? the ninja is 1k nits and this is 2k nits - am I missing something here?
am I missing something here. Comparing them side by side, Ninja is brighter
Hello Pav, thank for the review. One question, do you know how is the wifi range from monitor and a Sony FX3? thank in advance for your time. .Eros.
thank you for watching!
I'm not really sure. It's not something I ever tested

Can this monitor working on Sony A7RV?
Great demo
thanks Dan!
If I regularly turn on and off my Sony camera, how seemless is the WiFi pairing to the monitor? Nobody ever discusses this
I have used this one and the bigger LH7P with a7IV and a7sIII and never had any major problems with the cameras connecting to the monitor quickly. Maybe once or twice I had to switch both off and on again and it worked again
@@PavSZ interesting, thats really good to hear! i just saw the price of the lh5p though and thats far more than i would want to spend to just get touch focs :(
@5:50 you are able to touch your screen to change focus point. When i touch my screen, the menu completely goes away. Im confused
I think for it to work, it needs to be in 'focus' mode in the menu
Does tap to focus function works on sony a7III?
it should
I have the Portkeys PS5II and its super slow at startuo. but i love it.
mine seems ok - maybe not lighting fast but not annoyingly slow either
Great video. Not suitable Fuji?
I am not sure, check their official website for more details
How much is this on amazon uerope
google is your friend
3rd. And I’m still using my iPad lol.
Does this come with a transmitter? Like I don’t have to get a terradek to pair with a. Nucleus ?
no

waiting for your "sigma 85mm vs samyang 85mm II " fe lens video. I hope u will make it soon for us sir
thanks!
I'll be making that comparison video very soon
When controlling camera. Can you still fullframe only with out the menus?
I think so
I cant figure out how to connect to get it to wirelessly control my A7iii. Every time I connect via wifi none of the camera control options show. Do you know what im doing wrong?
you are doing something wrong. hard to tell without seeing it in front of me
Im so confused. I have this monitor. Why is my touch focus option missing? Sony A7iv
swipe down, connect the camera via wifi and then select 'focus'. The touch focus should work then.
It also works better once you select zone or point focusing mode in your camera (that can be selected via the monitor as well)
@@PavSZ Got it! Thank you kind sir!
When you record sound a make some noise like Ninja V or it's good? You don't have parasitic sound?
it's very quiet. Much quieter than Ninja V
This or that new Osee Lilmon you reviewed the other day Pav?
Lilmon 5 - no fiddly nipple 😂
is it true, that you only see the actual camera settings on a Sony camera?
oh I don't know. I have only tested it with a Sony camera
Hi is it possible to control and focus Panasonic gh6? Thnx
good question. I don't own GH6 so I can't check it. Probably best to check their website or message them on facebook or instagram
How is this not as bright as the ninja V? The ninja V is 1000 nits and this is 2200 nits.
good question
Hallo can i use any hdmi cable or to buy the cable that portkeys suggest?also the tracking and auto focus can work only with wifi?
Any fast sped HDMI cable will do.
I think you can only control the camera via wifi connection (I might be wrong)

interesting!
I don't know why this is. Is there nothing about it on Portkeys website?
it's just firmware. You can change it on the portkeys site
can you use it without the hdmi cable connected?
no, you need HDMI to see the picture from the camera on it. It's wireless camera control only
@@PavSZ thank you
Does it work with Canon C70?
maybe - please refer to their website for more info
Says wireless yet doenst show wireless performance :(
he totally does, all the camera operations on the screen in this review are performed wirelessly 5:12
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
- Ninja Atmos 5 / 5+
thanks in advance !
hey! Thanks for watching my videos.
You can't compare these two directly. Totally different price and class monitors.
One that is just a monitor with touch control of some of the cameras and the other is a SSD recorder as well.
It will all depend on your budget, your camera and personal preference
On Sony’s is it single-point touch focus only or does it allows tracking, like on the a7siii/a7iv?
it allows tracking if you have touch tracking enabled in the camera
@@PavSZ Thad’s awesome
hi there ! How long is the boot up time please ?
about 10 sec
Control camera abilities ,touch focus etr in a budget price...other monitor companies open you eyes
yes! Atomos should be making notes

I have tried this with my a7IV and it works OK - it just takes the photo.
Hi I have a Sony A7SIII and also considering to buy this Monitor. Does it have any banding issues?
Is there a way to power my BMPCC 6k Pro from the monitor with a NPF 970 battery?
good question. I'm not sure
Does someone use it with lumix s5 mark 1?
Good question
Why can’t a Ninja do touch focusing?
exactly my question
Hello, how to connect via Type C - to Panasonic gh5s? did someone connect?
interesting question. Not something that I had a chance to test
