- Hey Friends! I'm back with another follow up video on the Portkeys LH7P on camera monitor. It's good - not great, but i'm learning to love it more and more every event I shoot with it.
If you learned anything from this video - or have any questions about how the monitor can best fit into your workflow - i'd love to hear from you!

Definitely appreciate the follow up review/overview on the monitor. Been considering a Portkeys monitor for all of the same reasons on my A7sIII.
It’s changed some of how I work - but overall I have been enjoying it 🤙🏼
Nice review, Ross! Great info 👏
Appreciate that!
ill double check when i get home but you can have hdmi info off and still you touch to track ....you need to be in the focus mode on the monitor
@@dominiquerichardson yep! Touch to focus works great on this monitor when you’re wirelessly connected.
Is there no way to let it automatically connect? I've read that the 5" version automatically connects to the camera wifi. That would be the only dealbreaker for me.
@@KarelDebedts (unless I’m missing something) the “auto connect” is still going through the monitor’s menu and selecting your previously saved camera. Although it saves your camera info, you still have to select it and tell it to connect. So, not very “auto” in my opinion.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I was wondering does the monitor still display image and have all function if you shoot 4k 120fps? I am more into wildlife videography so I would quite often shoot in 4k 120p. Thanks again 😊
I'm fairly certain it will work in all the modes, including 4k/120fps. Granted, the monitor doesn't display in 4k120, but it will still show image on screen.
Hope they bring control support to fujifilm. We use Sony and Fuji and would be great to have a monitor like that to use on either system for control
Ahhh, it’s easy to forget wireless camera control isn’t a feature available to all. Surprised Fuji doesn’t offer that - especially on their more video-focused line.
Love the review, do you think it’s possible to have the v-mount battery setup on a gimbal? Or is it just better for handheld setups?
I ask so because I shoot main handheld or on a gimbal.
I think it's mainly best for handheld setups. If you were going for a gimbal with the v-mount it would probably have to be mounted to the side handle separate from the camera. I've seen some pretty cool setups with a v-mount on the back of a monitor off the side handle of a Ronin gimbal. But the monitor + battery is connected to the gimbal, not the camera. There's ways to do it, but ideally not like this setup.
@@RossBarnett02 makes much more sense. Thank you
how are you powering the monitor? what cable?

Here's a link to my specific cable. It's a barrel connection cable directly from the Smallrig V-Mount battery to the monitor.
Thinking about getting this monitor but just have 2 concerns. The 1000nit during daylight, like mid day, had any issues with this? And 2nd the 8 bit color, does that have much of an effect? I was thinking it might effect how luts look.
For me, it’s less about the brightness and more with the reflective display that makes it difficult to see in direct sunlight. However, it’s much better than the standard monitor on the camera / so, it could be better - but it’s one of the tradeoffs. Technically a sunhood would help but in my opinion it’s not worth the extra weight/size.
As far as the 8bit - I don’t mind it at all. I’ll save the 10bit for editing/delivery. Mainly I’m using a monitor for framing and not color accuracy. I know my cameras/exposure well enough to not need perfect 10bit color out of an on camera monitor. Most of the day I tend to be using the monitor for framing and watching the waveforms for proper exposure.
What mic you have there?
@@johnnyweissmuller5838 Deity
V-Mic D3 Pro on the camera rig. Rode NTG5 overhead recording the video. 🤙🏼
The infos you get displayed on the monitor are crucial.but man 7inch android slow booting…. 😢
It’s the slow booting PLUS the additional steps to get wireless connected that adds to the boot up process even more. For me, it really took some time to get into the habit of not turning off the camera after grabbing a few clips. But I’m finally getting more used to the workflow 😅
@@RossBarnett02 Yeah I get that but I am not into carrying a VM battery. I turne of the camera and I am located in Greece 🇬🇷 it’s getting very hot here so I want the camera to cool down. I have the ninja V it’s kinda heavy and it’s eats a lot battery. Have you ever used this godox monitor? godox monitor gm6s
