I'd suggest to Sony to create an actual monitor - something like the Atomos Shinobi - and make it integrate seamlessly with their cameras, i.e. allowing camera control through the monitor. It will fly off the shelves!
Or maybe just create an API so it could be integrated into(any monitor)like the Ninja V or Shinobi lineup through HDMI. The DJI transmission system kinda reverse engineered it and you can do it with their monitor wirelessly, but its really expensive. Even a collab/partnership with Atomos and SmallHD would be awesome.
Yeah, I’ve always found it funny that Sony never really got into the on camera monitor market, considering the fact their monitors are the standard when it comes to post production. I also believe their monitors would fly off the shelves. Small HD Needs more competition, not really a fan of the Atomos stuff anymore.
Main issue with all these wireless apps is they have massive issues connecting and delays, and why I don’t use it. Glad to hear you can do it with a wired cable.
Very good question about content browse. That this is the new content browser mobile. I was confused and thought is there not already an app like that. Btw content browser was a very confusing name for monitoring my FX6.
HI I currently shoot with an older Xt3 and im looking to upgrade. Im trying to decide between 2 full frame cameras. The new Lumix s5iix or the older Sony A7siii. My use case is video only and im currently focused on realestate videos and some weddings, client work ect. My main concern is for filming real estate in 4k60. What would look better a7siii 4k60 or the lumix s5ii 4k60 cropped? Most high end videographers in the real estate industry use a7siii. Taking everything into account, noise, low light, Dynamic range, image quality ect which is better. My goal to get the best quality 4k 60 video. Thank you
If I could connect all my cameras at once during a wedding ceremony and just tap to focus from this app with all my Sonys that would be great. The Creators app, image edge, this new app- they do need to streamline these apps and just kill what isn’t being updated. So confusing
I can't get my a7siii to connect to this stupid app, says the firmware is not compatible any recommendations? I just updated to the latest firmware and still not working@@twoowlsregenerativemedia159
Once again fx9 is left out, I used Fx9 at work and it makes no sense that we would have to buy a $3000 attachment on the back of the camera to get raw output but the fx6, fx3, fx30 a7siii can all do raw output from the start. Spend $10,000 on a camera and have less features than cameras much less.
Just tried it with FX6 s…can’t use it to focus (image on screen is very soft), no peaking, no waveform, no zebras nor histogram. It’s good for setting custom buttons and starting stopping recording. Wireless is slow. Connecting to multiple cameras is only possible when wired, but only on FX6. @Sony make a real monitor with full control and SDI connections… we’d definitely buy it!
Tried it as well and I get "failed to connect" on WiFi. Bluetooth connect isn't compatible. FW version 2.11. Monitor+ works fine. Come on Sony! Your software is just awful.
I couldn't get it to connect to my Sony a7SIII camera with latest firmware v2.11 via the Bluetooth pairing (Wi-Fi) connection method. Could anyone else connect with their a7SIII? Thanks.
As someone who came over to Sony from the s5i for better autofocus I can honestly say that Sony doesnt give a shite about their clients. Im glad I held onto my s5 with its glass because I will heading back to Panasonic who has far superior colour and cameras and actually care about thier client base.
I don't understand Sony's logic. FX9 is very expensive but it's not getting any support. Some older cameras won't get support, which is understandable, but then, there is so many features that they could have got via updates, but they didn't. It really sux.
Highly agreed! It’s still a current camera for them, their large sensor broadcast flagship till the Burano, but it feels ignored for multiple years now.
Sony does such a brutal job with these apps. I can't even see zebras on this thing. 3rd party apps can maintain a reliable wireless connection with Sony cameras, and somehow Sony themselves continue to be incapable. I can connect with my FX30 with an intermittent connection (so basically useless), and of course only FX series cameras work. Back to my third party app I go!
It's funny reading all the sony bros listing all the cameras that don't get updated. You guys literally get a new camera every week with a new feature. Why are you shocked when they bring out something new and you don't get it? 😂
Terrible design of the app. Even on big phones like Galaxy S23 Ultra ist the live picture not significantly larger than on the camera screen. Monitor+ is much better.

So true. That’s a great accessory for any brand so it’s interesting more haven’t done it.
That would be awesoem for now all we have are portkeys monitors just ordered mine lets hope its as good as they say

Just buy an Atomos unless you like buying tech that is crippled unless you pay a yearly fee.

Monitor + is still the winner. Clean layout and focus option without having to change menus...
also it work on a7siii and even a6700. fast pairing.
Very buggy. Disconnects a lot.
„We‘re not forgetting about the a7sIII.“ Still waiting for the improved FX3 video menu and focus breathing compensation.
also vari shutter would be nice if the camera can support it
Lol true
The menu is an easy firmware update. They clear;y haven’t forgotten. They just don’t care😂😂
Hope they extend this to all of the current generation cameras, A1, A7Rv, A7iv
These cameras aren't the video camera s, enjoy good quality of photos 😂
I think the A7IV already ships with this.
@@СтасГрищук-ц7б The A1 is a film camera as well that should be added.
A1??
When is the update for s3 coming?
I hope the upcoming update for a7s3 is not just support of the new app😥😥
NO THis app DON'TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT support , at least at the time I am commenting this. I tried mine with the latest firmware updates
Very good question about content browse. That this is the new content browser mobile. I was confused and thought is there not already an app like that. Btw content browser was a very confusing name for monitoring my FX6.
So they have histogram and false color NOT on the actual cinema camera FX6? What the heck?
weird it's not supported (yet) for a6700, a7 IV, and the flagship a1
maybe keeping it only on their video cameras?
Does it have pinch monitor zoom for focusing ?
I have the latest firmware for a7s3 and it doesn’t work with app. Is it coming in another update?
I think it will come later
@@CineD thanks, btw you guys are having the best coverage 🎉

Would new iPhone 15 pro with USB-C work with app?
Can't wait to try this out. Very happy the a7S III made the cut, thank you Sony 🙏
Now if they could give us a7iii users a update with focus breathing compensation
I can't get my a7siii to connect to this stupid app, says the firmware is not compatible any recommendations? I just updated to the latest firmware and still not working@@twoowlsregenerativemedia159

That’s Sony for you. They just make new cameras. Sad a7iv shooter 😢
how accurate is false color? does it depend on the samrtphone model?
Log assist available in the app?

Wondering if it can trigger multiple fx3 cameras??
so what is the name of the app?
APP is called - Monitor & Control
Damn thanks!!
Dude, THANKS !
No ZVE1?? its the same sensor as all those other cameras
what APp? any Name? any Link?
What is the name of the app ?
iPad mini as a field monitor going forward?
Do i need to update the firmware in FX 30 to use this app? Because I can’t… it said it is not compatible to my FX 30 version 2.0
How to playback in monitor & control app
no luts on a7s3 ? such a shame
Glad to see sony supporting the A7s III. Hoping for a new video with the new functionality some of other cameras got! :D
Tried it and it’s not compatible, at least not yet, and yes I have the latest firmware
I heard it's meant to be compatible in March next year...@@rw3452
Tried it as well and I get "failed to connect" on WiFi. Bluetooth connect isn't compatible. FW version 2.11. Monitor+ works fine. Come on Sony! Your software is just awful.
Tried that too and got the same error msg!!!
NO THEY DON'TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT I tried mine with the latest firmware updates
I couldn't get it to connect to my Sony a7SIII camera with latest firmware v2.11 via the Bluetooth pairing (Wi-Fi) connection method. Could anyone else connect with their a7SIII? Thanks.
No. I can‘t connect too. I still use the Monitor+ App
NO THis app DON'TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT support , at least at the time I am commenting this. I tried mine with the latest firmware updates
how does the wired connection work?
What!? Supports via cable too? Someone please confirm this.
Yes
@@TheDailyDriver so a USB-C to USB-C cable? If so, I have to update my camera immediately and try it!
What about A7IV? THe existing app is disconnecting every 5 secconds ...
The Sony rep better come prepared to answer Nino's questions the next time.
And the name of the app is?...
sad, it doesn't suppory a7s3
Does it work for a6700
Keywords to take here is they are only updating the s3 for this app. Nothing else 😊
Since you guys are talking, send the message about firmware upgrade for a7sIII😆
“We often forget about the sIII”…. Yeah we know 😂
NO THis app DON'TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT support , at least at the time I am commenting this. I tried mine with the latest firmware updates
How about firmware update for a7siii
Update messed my FX30 up now I have the black screen
Hi App Name pls
No a7iv? 😢
when connected to the camera and starting recording, is the stabilization (either ibis, os oss) still working (so, during recording)?
Yes
Sony is treating the fx9 like a lost toy at the park, and now it's cold and raining and we're all alone
any ideas mine is laggy!
Thanks, Daniel Tosh. Good info.
Just downloaded the app
an update for a7s iii would be nice.. but okay :D
Hope they extend this to the ZV e1
FX9???
It would also be great if they could Say they name of the frikin app
no A1 support?! kidding me?
So this means the A7SIII will have a firmware update!!!
App name?
Monitor & Ctrl

Weird how new cameras aren’t supported. Also the FX6 gets the lion's share of features especially in proxy clip management.

Did Sony just forget that the A7s iii exists?
Can you say the name of the app xddddddd
Monitor & Ctrl
It's funny how the wireless lag is still faster than Lumix cameras' HDMI latency
Try monitor+
Great for Gimbal Work
Please let it support sony zv-e10
Its worth it for the false colours. The fact they arent baked into the fx cameras is crazy.
It's not working
a7C !!! PLEASE !
Freaking finally.
Ah, Sony. Just get a spokesman that actually knows the product. Sheesh!
Sony does such a brutal job with these apps.

Why does a camera control app need to know your exact location? Sounds like shady business.
Once again they ignore their FX9 user base and while only a sometimes operator, it’s extremely disappointing to see!
"We're not forgetting about the a7S III." What about my a7 III????
It's funny reading all the sony bros listing all the cameras that don't get updated. You guys literally get a new camera every week with a new feature. Why are you shocked when they bring out something new and you don't get it? 😂
Too bad they only have false color instead of EF Zone.
Fx10000 2024 January $9.99
I am klaus
But you have to be on the latest firmware which means you lose battery information on non Sony batteries. Screw Sony!
Flagship😂?
Just give me focus breathing for goodness sakes!
That UI looks like it was beaten with a bat. Typical Sony UI. They'll forget about this app in 6 months anyway.
This app is a joke... Sony does amazing stuff and then does other things on a whim lol.
Terrible design of the app. Even on big phones like Galaxy S23 Ultra ist the live picture not significantly larger than on the camera screen. Monitor+ is much better.
man sony is SO BAD at naming, god damn.
trash software, doesn't work, wouldn't rely on this for anything important
it's actually pretty good on iOS but we feel the Android version is still lacking
