Do you still have control with the 7.3 update? I originally had to go with an older BM firmware to control my P4K. I'd love to get that Gen 5 color, but don't want to upgrade if I can't control it from the LH5H.
This is awesome. I also believe there is an app for 5 dollars on the App Store that lets you completely control the whole camera through Bluetooth as well. Thanks for the video. I'm in the process of buying my BMPCC6K. This is helpful. I'll stick with the FEELWORLD.
Great video! Considering this monitor for the blackmagic 4K….One thing I missed, are you able to view/ control playback with this monitor ? I love the touch scrubbing on the back of the camera it would be great if it retains this… thanks !
This is exactly i was looking for! Thank you very much ! I nearly was gonna buy cineeye or cam ranger if I didn’t watch this! This is the best solution for bmpcc pocket! Specially for a solo filming . So excited that i can see my self from extra monitors amd contothe camera wirelessly!! Thank you again! You are a life saver. Have a wonderful day ☺️
Hey everyone, I’ve talked to several DPs in the Southern Michigan area and we all experienced the same issues with the portents monitors. The camera control functions via Bluetooth don’t connect very well, the interface is clunky too. My port keys BM5 2 worked 3 times and stopped connecting to the camera. Contacted support about firmware but the update didn’t help. Same thing with the other DPs I know who went for it, they all said they never used it. In the professional environment we need gear that works 99.9% of the time, and the other 0.1% should be user error or a problem that the manufacturer helps us fix. Don’t waste your time or money on this product… How’s this version working for you Garret after a year? Come on black magic let’s see the cinema box camera or a camera control monitor from you guys!
Hey Nate! Good to see a fellow SE Michigan filmmaker in the mix. A DP buddy of mine is still using this monitor today. I’ll ask him again, but I’m fairly confident it’s still working slick. I do no Portkeys discontinued this model shortly after this video went up in favor of a “newer” one. Completely agree on the UI. Also, BM could change the game if they came out with a true, compact, ergonomic cinema camera.
@@garrettsammons Black Magic has so much going for them, I love their color science, they have great dynamic range, just need to be able to get to my settings while I’m shooting!
I just really love how you give back info man, definitely a fan, definitely looking forward to what you bring us next! I WISH i knew about this last year 🤦🏾♂️ lol
Great video! It seems having camera control is a huge advantage compared to something like the LUT6 from your other video. Have you had a chance to compare against the LH5P?
Can you map the function buttons on the monitor to the camera controls like iso iris and shutter? Having some physical feedback for quick camera functions would be great
Just saw this and you did a good job with this video! I'm looking to get a used LH5H and I'm wondering if this would work with the 6K pro for blue tooth control?
Thank you, very nice. Question, I am so afraid of connecting an external monitor because I hear somuch about frying the HDMI output on the cams motherboard. I have a switchtronic bat and v-plate. they say connect the monitor to the v plate direct. What is youe oppinion on this whole frying the hdmi thing?
Good video and btw this monitor seems dope! The only thing I would like to see in such a complete package would be a couple of backlit function buttons more and a slightly wider screen around 6 -6.5' Wondering if anything like this exist? Thanks and keep on with great contents! :)
Unfortunately I don’t know of any monitor that size that also has camera control. Portkeys makes several monitors with this control, but none bigger than this.
I know I'm late to the game but wondering about one thing. This all makes perfect sense until you want to play back and scrub your footage. I don't know if I'm missing something, but I don't see where you can play back and scrub footage ONLY using the monitor. Hopefully I'm just missing something. Any advice?
Hi Garrett, Merry xmas. If you want, could you power the monitor by it’s own NPF battery and power the camera by the V-mount via dtap or do you have to power both devices by the v-mount battery? I’m hearing conflicting points from different ppl.
This seems to be different from the far inferior LH5HDR. I can’t understand why they have to have so many models with such similar names but completely different features.
great video!! i just paired my bmpcc 4k with the BM5WR just now,. i'm able to control it from the monitor but the monitor isn't showing what's on my camera, the screen is the default screen. do i need to connect something else via cable? i thought that the blue tooth connection will also connect the video? thanks!
Both cameras are great. They both require a fair amount of rigging to the the most out of them. It really comes down to the kind of content you’re filming. If you’re primarily a content creator, I think the S5 is great! If you work in production primarily, I think the pocket will probably serve you better.
Portkeys no longer manufactures this monitor and instead make the LH5P. It is made from aluminium instead of plastic and still offers the same functionality at a few dollars more. However, you are still able to purchase the LH5H from your local Portkeys distributor if they still have stock of it.
Oh sure! There are a ton of great wireless video systems out there. A couple of new videos are coming in the next few weeks where we’ll explore some of the newest ones in the market.
Please tell us what version of firmware is instaled on your PortKeys LH5H. My monitor is not connecting to any Blackmagic Pocket 4k/6k/6k Pro. My actual firmware is LH5H-V1.12.20.C18.B08. Thanks for your help.

there is one more thing. You've plugged a monitor and the camera to the same power supply and then youve connected a monitor to camera via HDMI. So there is a risk of burning HDMI port in camera... What about that ?
Hey Garrett. Good vid, thank you. Question ... does the LH5P run a visual signal from the BM6k or just wireless camera control? Looking for a good wireless follow focus set up to use with a Nucleus N. Thanks in advance.
Hey Garrett, just came across your content, very helpful btw. Question with the portkeys, would you use the in-monitor false colour, or export false colour from the pocket via hdmi?
Bluetooth doesn't transmit video so you'd need a Hollyland Mars or similar to get video. Also, the bluetooth control only works up to about 6 feet away, at least in my test with a bmpcc 6k and an iphone 13 running Bluetooth+.
I have an LH5H and a BMPCC 6K Pro. The monitor WILL NOT connect to my camera via bluetooth. Portkeys seems to have non-existent support, as well. No response. I have the latest firmware installed both on the camera and the monitor, and Bluetooth is enabled on the camera. When I click Add New Device - nothing. Just a button that says "Back". So, yeah.
That’s super frustrating! I’m sorry that’s happening to you. I know they’re active on their Facebook group primarily. I’d also suggest DMing via Instagram.
Hi considering this as my first field monitor for my 6k pro, this might be a silly question but can you still shoot in 6k raw whilst monitoring on the port keys?
You’d have camera control, but no video signal. You have to plug this in via HDMI to see the image. But if you just need camera control, you don’t need HDMI for that. Even with RED cams, they don’t need cables because they have direct contact points on top of the camera. BMPCC don’t have any type of contact points.
I'm sometime feeling the whole world is a joke concerning that topic. Has someone thought about mounting the battery plate... HORIZONTALLY like I did ? And having NO PROBLEM accessing the screen ? For Christ's sake.
I just use longer rails. Plenty of room. This would be useful though for when you're working at high or low angles, particularly if you pair it with a video transmitter.
I've had no luck pairing with the latest firmware, BM 7.3 and Portkeys LH5H V1.07.20.C09.B09. The LH5H won't recognize the 6K no matter what I do. Any advice?
Is anyone experiencing 0 difference between 0-10 sensitivity in the focus peaking? frustrating feature. also, the peaking being applied over gridlines/crosshairs.

what about the 6kpro ?
Is it also possible to change te camera settings trough the monitor?
A couple of people asked this question and you didn't answer. Do you get playback controls from this monitor?
Hey man love the video, 12:50 what cable is that? To control the nano
Thanks

It's been 3 years, is there an updated model with even more features an and even bigger bang for the buck... or stick with this model?

Great question! Bluetooth connectivity is for camera control only. You still need to connect HDMI to it for the video signal chain to work.
@@garrettsammons thanks boss! need that HDMI!
How do you like the BMPCC 6k? I’m trying to decide between the 6k pro and the S5 + Ninja V. Thanks for the upload!
Both cameras are great. They both require a fair amount of rigging to the the most out of them. It really comes down to the kind of content you’re filming. If you’re primarily a content creator, I think the S5 is great! If you work in production primarily, I think the pocket will probably serve you better.
What is the difference between this one and the LH5P?
Portkeys no longer manufactures this monitor and instead make the LH5P. It is made from aluminium instead of plastic and still offers the same functionality at a few dollars more. However, you are still able to purchase the LH5H from your local Portkeys distributor if they still have stock of it.
Great video. Can you use the Portkeys for wireless video too?
The video chain isn’t wireless unfortunately
@@garrettsammons I understand but I was wondering if there’s a wireless HDMI system that would work with the LH5P.
Oh sure! There are a ton of great wireless video systems out there. A couple of new videos are coming in the next few weeks where we’ll explore some of the newest ones in the market.

It’s not a wireless video transmitter. Only the camera controls are wireless, the video chain is all HDMI.
Can you use auto focus touch in the monitor?
Hey Garrett, just came across your content, very helpful btw. Question with the portkeys, would you use the in-monitor false colour, or export false colour from the pocket via hdmi?
I’d use the in monitor false color personally
@@garrettsammons can I ask why, is it better than the Bmpcc 6K FC?
It’s just a personal preference thing. It’s easier for me to do everything through the monitor UI.
whats the difference from the LH5p?
I own this monitor, but after I updated the latest firmware for bmpcc6k, the monitor did not work as a remote anymore. Any suggestions?
Did you get it working ?
@@codeinehq no I gave up on it and use it as a monitor
Since it has Bluetooth can I use this an a super affordable directors monitor or do you still need the HDMI plugged in to get a clean feed?
Bluetooth doesn't transmit video so you'd need a Hollyland Mars or similar to get video. Also, the bluetooth control only works up to about 6 feet away, at least in my test with a bmpcc 6k and an iphone 13 running Bluetooth+.
is it going to be still connected if you unplug it from the HDMI port? Or the bluetooth works only so its able to control the camera settings?
That is correct. Bluetooth only controls the camera function. You still need HDMI to view the video feed.
I have an LH5H and a BMPCC 6K Pro. The monitor WILL NOT connect to my camera via bluetooth. Portkeys seems to have non-existent support, as well. No response.

Absolutely!
hello Garrett.. what 15mm base plate did you use here?
I believe all the rigging is from Tilta. I borrowed the camera from a friend, so I’m not too sure.
Is it possible to use this unit with the BMPCC 4K/6k without HDMI cable? Like with the RED cams.
You’d have camera control, but no video signal. You have to plug this in via HDMI to see the image. But if you just need camera control, you don’t need HDMI for that.
Even with RED cams, they don’t need cables because they have direct contact points on top of the camera. BMPCC don’t have any type of contact points.

I just use longer rails. Plenty of room. This would be useful though for when you're working at high or low angles, particularly if you pair it with a video transmitter.
I've had no luck pairing with the latest firmware, BM 7.3 and Portkeys LH5H V1.07.20.C09.B09. The LH5H won't recognize the 6K no matter what I do. Any advice?
That’s really odd. I’d check the portkeys Facebook page and ask for help. It’s a good group and I’m sure they’ll be able to help.
Is anyone experiencing 0 difference between 0-10 sensitivity in the focus peaking? frustrating feature. also, the peaking being applied over gridlines/crosshairs.
Check to make sure your firmware is up to date. I know they recently upgraded they’re focus peaking system.
Any issues with this monitor? Would you still recommend it today?
I think this model has been replaced with another that’s even slightly better. But absolutely does the trick!

Absolutely
