I believe so, I’ve never use them but the setting is there I’ve seen and you can import your own.

I’m not honestly sure how far back you can go with an older iPhone. Some people have commented finding dongles and cables that work but others have not had much luck. This was all with a iPhone 15 Pro with the USB-C port, but check out some of the other comments and maybe someone will have that exact set-up.

@@ThomasCrump-z7j Google is your friend! That’s about all I can do to direct you but good luck!

Haha perks of back country roads with nobody else on them

This is true!

Thanks! I may be extra picky but I believe they do it to push the up charge on getting the higher end ones when you spec it out. Pretty common practice in manufacturing but if you do a test drive I’d give them a listen.

Yes but it takes a very specific device that has PD pass through and a USB-C port, I’ve used this one and it works but it’s probably not great on the phone battery haha. It’s from Acer amzn.to/3OVULAs It can charger the phone and still allow the app to function.

@@PhilipBlank thank you for getting back to me, what about a simple splitter with just 2 female ends, 1 for power from ext battery and 2nd female end for video connection to phone app, or does it have to be through the acer hub? or another option, 2 separate wires: micro hdmi to usb c (cam to phone) and then usb c to usb c (cam to ext battery) would that work? thanks again for your time

⁠​⁠@@ttog8883to be honest I don’t know as this is the only thing I’ve found to work of what I had. I don’t have any splitters but if it has data transfer then maybe! The second concept is an interesting one, using the HDMI out as the data transfer and USB-C to charge the camera? If I had one of those cords I would try it! I think at this point you could just use a through power supply on the battery port to keep the camera going, not sure how that would work with the iPhone if it could charge it up though. I actually just tried a third option and put the iPhone on a wireless charger while plugged into the camera and it didn’t seem to charge much but kept a steady percentage. Lots of messing around to do still!

@ thanks man I just went with what you suggested with the acer hub, much appreciated for the advice 🙌🏾

hopefully it works for you! I’m still curious about the splitter, could work but just don’t need more gear with what I have.

We’ll see if anything EPA changes in the next few years.

I think it behaves very well but I am not one to push it! Depends on what bike you’re coming from on the weight as it is heavier but it powers through. I’ve seen some pro videos of people pushing them hard!

My pleasure!

Yeah doesn’t need much! Thanks for the comment!

That’s a great question! I can’t say I know the size of the Tundra interior, but I would be hesitant to say the interior of the Tacoma would be much larger. A car seat/booster for your 3 year old would fit fine, that’s what I am using right now, but it’s not spacious by any means. I’d go check one out in person if you can and bring the car seat! That’s an expensive jump to a vehicle that may not be solving your issues. I am looking at getting a 4-runner instead for the rear seat space increase.

They can range from $2k to $25k depending on the year and miles. This one is closer to the top of that range.

Great question! On my other video about the monitor app many have commented they found certain dongles and cables that allowed for non USB-C phones to work, someone said they used lighting to USB-C apple cable and that worked, maybe read through some of those to get the exact details. From their website though it does say that the a6500 should work wired with limited capabilities: monitorplus.cc/docs/general/camera-compatibility-and-capability/ or you can try the Sony Monitor and Control App. I usually try cables on Amazon and if they don’t work return them free if you have prime.

I don’t own it yet, just some good connections! It’s the only car I’ve almost bitten the dust in. 360 spin out hydroplaning in the rain on a highway when I got caught out in a summer storm. I kept it in the lanes when sliding and straightened it out, then drove very slowly home after that.

@@PhilipBlank OHHHHH my goodness! have you seen the video of the dude who crashed his like the day he bought it , went around a corner and flew into a river. Someone pulled it out and they are trying to bring it back to life. Ya man so easy to crash with that much power and fun. so awesome tho u got to drive it

If I do another vide on the topic I will! Personally never had any issues or noticed anything too laggy. If you first open the app and have a lot of other apps open in the background, it stutters a bit to start then smooths out. I usually close all the other apps to maximize battery life of the phone.

@@mrsandnotofficial I don’t have that so I do not know for certain but according to B&H overview the R8 is compatible!

@@SpyingAround actually I do, I just forgot to mention it in this vid! I’ll tag it in the description but I’ve just found it’s more clunky and I like the Monitor+ app more even when I used the free version. Sony has updated that app so maybe I’ll check out how it’s been.

Creators' App is also gives *acceptable* results for the cameras that aren't supported by M&C yet. Plus the short usb cable you're using really gives anxiety as it might get tangled by camera movements.

@@gilbertrivera I believe it should as the compatibility website says it can but with very limited capabilities. Depends though if it has a USB-C port that would allow it to not require any adapters. monitorplus.cc/docs/general/ camera-compatibility-and-capability/

@@Nynex haha I use it for that as well, I love the larger red recording box outline when using it for A-roll or self shooting, just couldn’t cover that in this vid.

@@anjosdomar269 I believe that is a setting you have to go to in the menu on the camera, you saw when I plugged it in it asked which mode to use and also that you can select don’t ask again. It’s probably remembering to default to external storage instead of treating it as a PC. Hopefully you can figure it out!

You have to turn of cellphone smart camera control and turn on pc remote

@ how do I do that?

Hey! Congratulations, but I wouldn’t be of any help with a question like that. It’s more pending what system is installed and what is compatible. Wyze has a decent tool on their website to walk you through it!

That’s a hot take! The 2UZ-FE is an extremely overbuilt and great engine that people love, it’s gone now and the next gen V8 was not as great but I’d be skeptical to say there will be as many high mileage hybrids as the older Sequoias with the V8s. www.motortrend.com/features/million-mile-tundra-the-tear-down/ They make these engines down in Alabama and I’ve talked to people there, the engineering specs to manufacture the new V6’s are extremely tight. How they are shimmed is critical to prevent premature failure and they are not as forgiving to debris which part of the reason Toyota already had the big recall on the non-hybrid V6s. I will be happy to be wrong if we see these hybrid powertrains last for years though!

Saying that a new hybrid powertrain might not be as reliable as the old engine isn't that hot of a take.. It's just the basic truth about ANYTHING that's new. It hasn't been proven out yet. Not to mention, anytime you add more components to a system, such as a hybrid powertrain, you create more possible failure points.

Fair! the DOT and FMVSS 108 standards require work vehicles with 80in. width of the widest part of the vehicle, excluding mirrors or accessories, the amber lights. The Sequoia is 79.6 inches so it’s .4 inches less than the requirement making it not required and for show, it closer matches the styling of TRX or Raptor with the indicators.

@@PhilipBlank Is there a weight limit that creates exceptions? The Tahoe / Yukon / Escalade are 81 inches and none use amber lights.

Actually I just learned something new looking it up so thank you for asking! The requirement not only focuses on the width but the use of the vehicle. Because those and the Sequoia are considered light duty passenger vehicles and not trucks or commercial vehicles intending to haul things they are exempt from the amber lights. Even going over the 80 in. rule, since it classifies as an SUV it’s not required to have them with the current laws. I didn’t know this before! They are 100% for show.

@@PhilipBlank Cool. Thanks for sharing that!

That’s a good point! Lotus did just back down on their all EV by 2028 so we may see hybrid Emiras, but time will tell! It also may hold its value being one of the last great “manual” options out there and spike the demand in the world of EV’s.

@@ThomasCrump-z7j that would be wild, someone mentioned doing a Hayabusa swap on it as well haha

@@ThomasCrump-z7j the first thing to do is Google it! Search Daihatsu Hijet for sale near you and see if anyone has one posted or you can find a dealer. Rules change state to state in the US.

I’ll look into this as there may be a way but not sure off the top of my head! If you do have a rotating monitor you can flip it in and it will keep the viewfinder on instead.

@@yokumato nope only comments!

I believe it would, but I have never used android or looked it the app can be installed there. I’d give it a go and let us know!

@@PhilipBlank The app is on Android. But I have a Fujifilm XT4 and I believe it's only compatible with some Sony cameras.

That wouldn’t be a bad idea!

Thanks mate!

Yes this one was a brand new one, it’s just not imported as a car so it’s for off-road use. There are some states and counties to allow ORV’s to get plates and be street legal but that’s not cross state line applicable or always easy. It also makes them cost significantly more because there are so few.

Can’t wait to get back out there man!

Awesome to hear! I was in the market for the Shinobi especially when the Mk 2 came out, but lucked out figuring this out since I am by no means a power user. If this was for full time work I'd imagine a monitor would be ideal, but for me as a hobbyist I have been completely happy and pull all monitors and batteries off my shopping list. I did pick up another Anker battery bank to keep in my camera bag for juicing the phone back up though as the iPhone gives its power to the camera. I think you can get data only cables that will stop the power draw but I have not searched for that yet.

Haha say what now

I bet it’s pretty close!

The compatibility website says it should function but has very limited capabilities. Does it have a USB-C port that would allow it to not require any kind of adapters? monitorplus.cc/docs/general/camera-compatibility-and-capability/

Thanks! The little trucks a tank!

I’ve not been in a RHO yet but for daily life I really bet the V6 is totally fine. This much power and poor MPG is really unnecessary as much as it is a blast haha sadly the V8 is going to be no more unless Dodge changes their higher up plan and deals with the EPA fleet requirements.

@@PhilipBlank yea true... it would be expensive to drive around the TRX considering.

The Cummins is not a bad option! Let’s just hope the EPA delete regulations get struck down in the next few years.

Not sure I understand the question here, but I can try to help if you have a specific one!

That’s pretty much what it is used for!

Probably won’t even last 6 months

It’s a decent screen! But I wouldn’t mind a version with a sleek dash.

Sadly probably not, they have a list of ones it is compatible with here: monitorplus.cc/docs/general/camera-compatibility-and-capability/ The SLT is a bit too old but you could always order a cable to try on Amazon Prime and return it if it doesn’t work.

@ thank you for getting back to me mate, I really appreciate it 🙌 I guess it can’t hurt to give it a go. Would my best bet be to just get a portable monitor? I’d love to upgrade my camera to a much more modern one but as I’m just learning at the moment I thought I’d go for something on a lower budget to begin with, but all these extra gadgets are pushing me to upgrade sooner 😂
