One issue I have with these new HDMI converters is the mounting options. Accsoon is now selling a new 12.9" iPad Pro cage, but they really should just make an attachment for the old one. I bought one of Accsoon's 12.9" camera cages to use as a monitor and now I'd like to use it with this new converter.
Nice review bro. So, if I set my camera to record 4K 120 FPS, this device will shrink it to 1080p 60 FPS on my iPad's camera roll. Will I still have the original 4K 120 FPS footage recorded on my camera itself? i.e. will my footage be recorded on both devices, camera and mobile? Thanks
I have this great mount but it doesn't fit iPad mini (which I got as a Christmas present) which to me is plenty I'm 63 but not that blind for my iPad Pro, SO Thanks I went with Heavy Duty Velcro over the 3M pads...I have a Atomos if I shotting a big project but for small stuff in-camera is good enough! I love my Sony Cameras (A74, FX30, X3) except the screen are BAD!
Maybe this is obvious to some, but if you just need a field monitor and want to use your iPad for that, you don't need the SeeMo. A wifi connection to your camera and an app like FieldMonitor will do just fine. I like using the iPad mini better than the 5.5" monitor I was using, and the iPad works with all the resolutions and frame rates in my camera, which the monitor does not.
Seems like the seemo has zero latency, i use filmic and latency appears within minutes via a remote app they have., if you work allot this looks feels embaressing
Question: how did you separate the iPhone attachment from the other part? Doesn’t seem like they’re meant to come apart… did you just pry it loose with a screwdriver?
Any chance you could use an HDMI switcher to feed two separate camera feeds into this device? Even if had a slight delay it would be a super great solution for two cam interviews feeding into a single screen.
Also is there such a thing as an HMDI to lighting to use the iPad, older version 6 with an Asscoon CINEYE transmitter and receiver as a monitor instead of via wifi? My connection sux with my iPad via wifi.
What kinda tripod would you use for this type of set up? Would love to see a quick mount option to the tripod as well. I have a Canon M50 Mark 2 and would love to have a setup like this.
I used to do this with a phone but wireless using the sony app years ago and honestly it was so convenient - you could position it wherever and it was super discreet.
I'm wondering if this would allow me to record directly into Davinci on the iPad. I presume yes? That would be a time-saver rather than doing the video to camera and audio to Cubasis and then both to PC and sync up in Resolve there. Getting all my footage properly synced first time on iPad for export to PC would be kinda handy.
The iPad works amazingly the box came a little dirty, th-cam.com/users/postUgkxUGaHtKW8MwCql2fPyIm9-ftTqSMzKFFA no plastic wrap, but the box was sealed and had everything else in the box along with the wrapping, the iPad itself is gorgeous, I got the yellow 64g game storage is good for me along with Socials and school stuff. No scratches or marks came with the charger and box fast speed, and if you are buying a pen get the 1st gen don’t make the mistake I did !!
Tried it. Send it back. Unfortunately the video feed is compressed and you can see that compression in the video. For me that was a deal breaker. Could be different for someone else.
Hi, What about delay? Is It suitable for higher bitrate (60fps or 120fps) and for pulling focus? How do you compare the delay to any dedicated field monitor?
Is it possible to have multiple HDMI output signals? I already use the HDMI cable connected to a capture card but being able to output on an iPad would be good too. E.g. in scenario where I'm not live streaming (using the capture card), but instead just want to record a video but see the output on the ipad as you've shown here?
i'm guessing this works only with newer ipads with usb c interface? edit: i see that can be used with older interface as well, right? oh, and another thing: does that adapter works in vice-versa, so you get video signal out of your ipad to hdmi?
My question is, why not just get the Monitor Plus app? Why get the seemo. Seems like the only benefit would be going live.. Monitor Plus vs Seemo.. Why get the Seemo?
just checking a few things: it looks like the output on Accsoon SeeMo is 1080p. Wouldn't that mean that the video that is saved on your iPad is not as good as the video on the camera? Reason I found this, by the way is I was trying to figure out if the Atmos Ninja V is the only monitor/recorder that can output RAW video format (ProresRAWHQ).
Chris, One more thing you could do. Using a software called ‘Sensor Logger’, you could use Gyro data from iPad sensors to stabilize footage recorded on phone.
using the "gyro" stab in resolve also picks up the cameras gyro and it works amazingly. no jello wobbles you get when you stabilize normally in resolve. it also miraculously kills rolling shutter. in heavy action I shoot super high frame rate (to eliminate post blur artifacts) then reintroduce motion blur in fusion with a simple node tree of optical flow node into a vector motion blur node.. looks amazing
I was given an IPad running v10.3.3 and this is my 8th failed video attempt to "Use Your Old Ipad as a Camera Monitor". I'm looking and this thing most definitely does not have a USB-C port. Foiled again. Its really seeming like a pipe dream at this point. Doing ANYTHING with it, actually. It does make a nice paperweight!
Ive been curious about this... what file extensions does it save to on your ipad / iphone? Can you shoot uncompressed video and airdrop to computer afterward?
Good to see that monitor mount is strong enough to cope with 0,5kg of the ipad. That's what I'm going to build in a few days. Thanks for giving an evidence of feasibility.
One question after watching all the way through is, why would I record a clip on the iPad if the output includes all of the info from the camera 2:07? Would it record just what the camera is focused on? Would prefer a clean feed. Did I miss that?
The iPhone and the iPads have the same battery life, give or take 30 minutes. I came her to see if the product has any ability to control the camera and see that it does. That is nice. Is there any way to use this as a monitor but not have the footage automatically imported into the iPad or iPhone? I load it onto a raid array, and then transcode it to ProRez and have no need for any instant use scenario. Thanks.
I have an 800.00 tripltek for the drone and am looking to get double duty out if it !! Cant find a shoulder strap to use with a cam ranger. I currently use an external 7 inch neewer monitor attached to a cage.
Very informative, I have a ZV1 & RX10 which I use for 4K video but have issues with the screen ‘dimming’ I need to overcome this. What’s the best way? A monitor? An app? Will they override the dimming of the camera screen? Thanks in advance
are you referring to the auto lock time option or the overheating dimming? there are fixes for both but for the dimming, try to check if auto-brightness option is ON in settings>accessibility>display&text size>auto-brightness (the last option at the very bottom). should be this case, turn it off, then restart your ipad and test it
This is cool but is there also a way to hook up my Macbook pro that has an HDMI, up to my Sony cameras (A7IV or FX3) to do the same thing as what you just did?
$200 for capture card capable of only 1920x1080 60fps is overkill, but i guess for Apple there's no other way around it? For android there's plenty of $10 adapters giving 1920x1080 30fps and fee software. Is APP you using (you did not even mention APP name in the video) also comes with the adapter or can be downloaded separately, its "Accsoon SEE" App?
The original Elgato Cam Link does 4k at 30 fps for USD $100. For $200 you can get Elgato's 4k X that does 4k 60fps. This guy's setup clearly has bigger issues than a capture card.
Correct me if I'm wrong here Chris... but the recording that ends up in your tablet/phone photos app is essentially just a screen recording, correct? Like it's not the actual video file with the sony information baked into the file, right? It's really just for quick & painless footage recap purposes?
that's correct. your phone is literally screen capturing. very handy when you're a wildlife photographer and want to film at the same time or a youtuber who wants to share his screen while taking pics.
Is there a way to livestream the video directly to say TH-cam?? Or does it just save to the camera memory/app and thennnn I have to upload it to whatever socials I choose?
Great video. Question?? How can I go live using my IPad Pro and my IPhone to get the code? I did it once using my MacBook Pro. When I’m using my MacBook on Facebook I can recover the code going through the steps. So how can I receive the code using my IPhone to copy and paste into the iPad that’s attached to the camera?
THANK YOU for your very informative video ...... I would like to ask how do you manage to charge your iPAD PRO while using the same time the SeeMo adapter ....... (in case you are filming in a long live event)
Not sure if this answers your specific question. I have my IPad with a Magic Keyboard. The keyboard has a built-in charging port. So that’s how I keep my iPad charged, while using the IPad’s regular port to plug in hubs, as well as an external SSD drive. So I can shoot as long as I want and the iPad keeps charged via the Magic Keyboard.
Have you ever attempted to utilize the app for capturing an incoming video stream directly from a camcorder, leveraging the camera's firewire out port along with a firewire to lightning adapter? Thanks.
hi Chris, I bought the monitor+ app after watching your video, I have an iphone/ipad, what's better about the hardware/software ? waiting for your reply before I order it, thanks in advance
Thanks for the video, does anybody know where I can get something like this holder but for a little bit larger screen? I just bought a UPERFECT MONITOR to use on set and locations and it is USBc powered so perfect on location and has HDMI for my Asscoon Transmitter CINEYE , But I need a cage or frame so my clients can hold it comfortably. Any suggestions bc this one goes up to 12.3 inches and my Monitor is 13.8 inches x 15.6 inches... Thanks!! it does have a VESA mount on the back by the way if some knows of a VESA Mount with handle or something would also work.
What’s the name of the software you use???? That should be the second thing you say.
It’s the Accsoon See app 🎉
I downloaded it not knowing I needed this nifty device in order to use it 😂😂😅
Can you just use the iPad as a monitor and record in camera for full resolution, or are you stuck with the 1080p in the pad? Thanks a bunch!
Following
You should be able to. Basically you’re using the program out of the camera. Recording internally is separate.

Hi there. Could be used with the same result and functionallities Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (or newer version) instead of iPad? Thanks
Hi Chris, I liked the way you mount the monitor. Would you be kind enough to share all the details of the hardware and software you used.
Ipads tend to be heavy, fall over unless you have a tripod
Nice review bro.

How is this better than just connecting an ipad to the camera via usb-c using Monitor+?
Can you please tell more how can you pair it with wireless HDMI signal ? 0:44
Tried it. Send it back. Unfortunately the video feed is compressed and you can see that compression in the video. For me that was a deal breaker. Could be different for someone else.
Hi,
What about delay?
Is It suitable for higher bitrate (60fps or 120fps) and for pulling focus?
How do you compare the delay to any dedicated field monitor?
It has delay, very significant as you see in the video itself.
I’m guessing you can set it up so the iPad is facing you for a podcast setup as well? So you can see what exactly is in the shot while recording.
Is it possible to have multiple HDMI output signals? I already use the HDMI cable connected to a capture card but being able to output on an iPad would be good too. E.g. in scenario where I'm not live streaming (using the capture card), but instead just want to record a video but see the output on the ipad as you've shown here?
For photography, i just use Capture One for iPad without any converter, just usb. Havent tried if it also works as a video monitor…
Is there a way I can use my phone wirelessly to check I’m in focus when self shooting?
Hi! I love it! Can you connect 4 cameras on the same ipad at the same time and select the camera you want to display? How to buy it?
