The Sony Monitor and Control app has gotten some good updates so if you’re shooting on Sony with a phone with USB-C, a 4K OLED display and a great battery why not use it if you’re just starting out or don’t need a dedicated monitor all the time?
Cool device. But it’s basically just an hdmi capture card $20 with good software. Now that Apple has introduced UVC since iOS17. The ability to use these devices as monitors are extremely easy as buying a $20 cable and plugging it in. The software is where it shines and adds the features really. This device should be a lot cheaper than $400
As Just a monitor sure, but there isn’t a unit that can internally record hdr 10-bit and have live stream connection at that price to be fair, let alone camera to cloud (coming to frame io)
@ absolutely. As I said, at this point it’s just software that makes this a useful buy unlike their actual monitors. The device itself doesn’t really provide extra and many may be thinking it’s the device itself that gives the capability when it’s the software and phone OS. Now, is that software worth $400? 😬 $100-$150 ok. $200 maaaaybe. But $399? I wonder how they came up with that figure given their pricing on their other monitors.
@ also, question. Is there any way to plug in an external somehow? Or you can only record to internal phone? Maybe an otg cable with external ssd to record to? That’ll add a little value. Otherwise we’re in trouble needing to use our phones storage.
Why did they need to make the hardware? The monitor plus app for sony does all of this without the hardware other than internal 4k recording.. Everything is done through usb c or if you have a more updated camera it does it wireless.
@KofiYeboah that makes sense yea but also phones are smart these days. I can rig the camera and use a usb c splitter to transfer whatever data and charge my phone with it connected to a v mount. I do agree with you on the battery issues. It's not a big deal I was just wondering
Kofis making sure we eat good. 🤧
How do you stay so productive and constantly creating good work?
Plan ahead ! Ironically I’m on set now, I just make sure videos are done in advanced !

It’s all the other stuff between internal recording, camera to cloud, streaming, proxy recording etc , if you don’t need it I agree with ya
@@KofiYeboah I'm a newb and a basic b"*tch so no need for fancy fancy yet :D
Sooo cool, if there was a USB’s pass through that allowed you to record to a ssd that would be craaazzzy
That would be cool !!!
There IS another port on the other side of it, maybe 👀
can you grab stills ( Onion Skin )?
Nice toy!
I know, right? 😂 helps after my monitor got jacked
@@KofiYeboah I am interested to test the Accsoon solutions, the idea of using an iPad as camera monitor is Teeeeeeeeeeeeeempting
I been holding out on upgrading my iphone 13pro. But I do want to get the USBC port to do this.
I upgraded 60% to get this lol
Sooo this is one way to get audio on the fx 6 without the damn stupid handle

Battery draw when recording in 10-bit , live streaming ( all the not monitoring stuff) and idk if you’ve live streamed, but that mogs my batteries

No onion skinning?
I didn’t see it tbh, I don’t really use it
What’s the point ? Cost as much as atomos monitor itself!
Your monitor can internally record, live stream or camera to cloud
