I do satellite TV installations and have long thought it would be handy to be able to use my phone a monitor for a satellite TV receiver. This for situations when a customer does not yet have a tv in the room where they want a receiver which actually is quite common with movers. Sounds like this might be just the ticket.
I work for a cable company and this is exactly why I'm here 😂
There are plugin HDMI transmitter and receiver if you want to get flexibilty of walking around with the phone.

I have that video capture card. It may do well for this purpose, but with raw YUV, it really gets bottlenecked by the USB 2.0 connection. The MJPEG option used most commonly also has stuttering problems when there's so much motion - it saturated my USB bandwidth trying to record a high-action video game. If you need something less...laggy, look for a USB3.0 capture card.
could you recommend something? I'm wanting to use this for playing games at work in the car? (I like to play ark on my lunch break, and I hate having to move my seat every time to accommodate the laptop, lol)
Raspberry pi hq camera + this seems like a good option
That's one of the thing I was thinking about. There's millions of great quality display screens out there just waiting to be recycled and if you can open that converter and mount it on the board, you'd have something for cheap.
Sweet! Imagine chucking an Xbox in a backpack and playing near an outlet on the go!
Hell yes
I also wanna try it on my ps3 but i wonder if it capture the audio
Anybody tried it yet?
Now it's only a matter of time before someone creates an app with features like peaking and zebra's. Amazing.
On the gh5 you can actually output them already :D
@@NEONAIRSHIP does this work with sony a7iii
@@NEONAIRSHIP how do you output them? Been searching everywhere and can't seem to figure it out
@@matthewskelton5855 th-cam.com/video/6XP7mrwXaSA/w-d-xo.html this should help, you can either display a clean feed or mirror whats displayed on the LCD
@@NEONAIRSHIP I appreciate that bud, thanks
I'm a total beginner to video. Thank you for this!
Nice! Thanks for sharing this! Now I wish my phone could record the 4k 10bit 422 output lol
I guess i can do that with a desktop computer as the primary screen.. you saved me a lot of money since i don't have room to install my external monitor. Fingers crossed the capture card will work !
At first i was gonna buy a cheap lcd screen, make a cutout in my computer case, bolt it down etc.. but it's disgusting, great we have solutions.. else i'd have had to create a script that automatically starts broadcasting the video on wifi and catch it on my phone, but i'm sure i'd have had to change the setup every use.. superb video
Does not work with phones having usb type c 2.0(color bands), it only works with usb type c 3.0 & above(basically expensive phones).
As long as the phone supports OTG, it should work. Micro USB, type c, USB 2.0 or 3.0, all don't matter. Again, as long as the phone supports OTG, software and hardware-wise. Android version should be at least Android 5 for better compatiility.
Thank you sir this will help me alot because my lumix g6 lcd is busted
Hi, is it possible to tell me what equipment to buy for vloging but the cheapest way please. Thx.
Will this work if you want to live stream from your phones cellular data but used the Dslr for your visuals?
Incredible. Thanks for sharing. I find the setup perfect and applaud you for creating this detailed video. I am very interested in recording this incoming signal and wanted to ask - do you still recommend this Endoscope app? Any other solutions?
can be connect an Android phone to a satellite receiver , where the phone acts as and you dont need a tV for tuning
is the setup for live streaming camera and phone using your phone monitor and internet connection?
all control (focus) stay in camera or change in smartphone sir?
Does the phone monitor screen go black when you press record on the camera?
I can plug my Nikon z6ii to my Android Phone with usb-c to usb-c and use Camera Connect+Control App. The live view on the App works perfect, no latency at all. The only "small" problem is, that when you plug a usb into the camera, it won't record. The record icon is crossed out and the camear is probobly in datatransfer mode. That's total sh**t. With Wi-Fi it is a huge latency, though the autofocus works. Thank you for the solution, though it is overkill with adapter count.
A better capture card will have less latency? if yes can you recommend one for me?
Can we attach intel PC stick for display in mobile?
for bmpcc 4k work?
Interesting. I'm doing a lot of fiddling around, and have lots of alternative equipment, one good-enough Android with a reasonable screen and reasonable memory, one getting-on-a-bit-now Android with an amazing screen and lots of memory, a Linux box, an HMDI signal source, that HDMI/USB converter, and a dodgy-looking OTG cable which might just be a normal USB lead. So the lead could be a weak link, and it won't work with the new phone. It does work with Cheese on Linux, used for testing webcam feeds, which are much the same thing. So maybe I can test my phone software (and cable) with the webcam.
Update: USB webcams can indeed provide a ready test feed, although all feeds are not created equal, and results will likely vary with varying feeds. I tried an OTG Hub instead of the recommended cable at first, and although it detects and identifies the webcam feed, it surprisingly doesn't have the bandwidth for the actual feed data. The recommended cable fixes that issue.
Thanks for the content, very helpful!
does it accept other audio input like the audio jack in the phone or is it just the HDMI source? I really want to know if we can use the phone as an easy mixer for the cameras that don't have an audio in jack
Hello. Thank you for this video ! Is the latency due to the phone or the capture card? The latency is too much for use, so I would like to know if a higher end card or phone would reduce the latency to near zero. Thankyou.
Probably mostly the capture card but hard to say
@@NEONAIRSHIP Thankyou for replying. It's such handy idea, because the video monitors are so heavy and require large batteries. This way makes it possible to keep very light and work in a more ad-hoc way.
I will try it out because i have this cheap one and also a expensive one
Hey!! Soo many doubts sir!!! I've got a hdmi elgato but it works only on 3.0 and sadly otg that I own its an 2.0. Was thinking to buy an otg 3.0 but i didnt found it with the normal android female charguer hole, just found it with usb C so.... Wich way could i go, should I buy your capture with 2.0 using my 2.0 otg cable? Wich should be the proper way to use my ElGato camlink. Congrats for the video, very very usefull!!!!! And thnks a lot.
Did you measure the current consumption?
Very nice TIP. Thanks!
Does this work if you're shooting in 4k?
Specifically using Sony cameras (a7sii and a6400).
by connecting the phone to the camera how to record video
Will this work to get a larger screen for viewing purposes on a camcorder? Please advise. Great video!!!
If you have a Hdmi output on your camcorder then yeah :)
@@NEONAIRSHIP Thanks for responding. You've opened up a new viewing world! Thank you. Thank You!! THANK YOU!!!
@@NEONAIRSHIP I'll connect the device to an flat screen TV. Won't miss a beat now. 🤗📽️
Great vid! Thanks for sharing!
Can i use for canon 77d same method for that typ of screen tell me bro
I've never used the 77d but it has hdmi so I guess so!
Bad what about the battery in old smartphone?
Why "bad" ?
For old smartphone's batteries, you'll need external power provided to them with an adapter allowing to split the USB port between signal & power delivery (there are videos about it as well), &/or to replace the battery if it's not usable at all.
@NEON AIRSHIP What you're demonstrating here may just save me. I think I heard you mention that this can work with a phone that doesn't have USB-C, is that correct? I have a Samsung Galaxy 6 which has a mini usb port. Will you please let me know what I need to accomplish what you have done except on my phone? If I have to I will upgrade phones but I was hoping to use the one I have. I also have an IPhone S6 but I know you mentioned you haven't tried on Apple devices. Thank you so much for sharing this.
fyi my use case for your hack is for an Ordo Head Cam which I want to stream from. The phone broadcasts wifi which you can connect to with a phone, but then I lose my internet connection and can't stream. It has a micro HDMI output so I am hoping to feed the video to my phone and stream from it. Thanks a lot. I hope it works on my Samsung Galaxy 6. I just order an HDMI Capture Card HDMI to USB 2.0, Micro USB 2.0 OTG Adapter, and a Micro HDMI to HDMI chord. Am I missing anything? Thanks again.
I have a question. I dont have a high end PC and I want to stream using my phone. Is it possible to do the same way you did, but instead I connect it to my console (xbox/ps5) and use my phone as a monitor. Then Im gonna use a screen capture maybe streamlabs on my phone to stream to facebook. Do you think that would work?
I haven't tried it but I think it should work
@@NEONAIRSHIP Thanks!
Thanks for this amazing video, I was about to purchase a monitor for my Blackmagic Pocket 4K.
I already ordered the two recommended accessories, I just have a problem with the Endoscope APP.
The link to the Play Store no longer exists and the search for 'Endoscope HD Camera' does not give a consistent result, even searching for the developer that I saw in the video.
If you can give information about the updated link, or any other alternative that you have in the meantime, I would be grateful.
Thanks again and have a nice weekend.
camerafi works pretty well straight from the play store on android 11 onwards
@@NEONAIRSHIP Thank you!
The only problem is the monthly subscription :-(
Can I connect a console via hdmi to my phone using this method?
Should work yeah
@@NEONAIRSHIP ayy, thanks
wow wow can we do this iinverseee i mean use my cam as a web cam but as dslr cam i mean no droid cam or other app just video capture
Does this also setup also ouput audio? Im planning to use my phone as a mobile ps4 monitor.
It depends on the app, some support audio and some don't. But yeah with the right app
Doesn't work for me on Android 10. It seems like Google has blocked UVC signal to USB on the system level. :(
Samsung S10 5G, downloaded the Android 10 App version - does not recognise when camera is connected. Think I have tried everything and still get "Also make sure your Phone OTG Mode is opened" message when trying to connect. Thoughts?
Hmm does the phone recognise anythings been plugged in at all? I get an icon in the top bar when a USB device is plugged in. You could try plugging in a mouse to check the otg adapter is working
@@NEONAIRSHIP Fixed. Plugged in a USB stick, and the phone prompted me. Plugged the camera back in and presto! Thanks.
@@RoyDunn nearly had an heart attack reading that.....just ordered the lot and read that you couldn't get it working haha. Phew 😅
Tried on 3 phones. Pixel 4a, works. Huawei P40, does not work. LG K61 sees only black... I have no clue what the phone has for requierements.
Huh interesting, I think it just has to support usb otg
@@NEONAIRSHIP All 3 mentioned phones support OTG.
I assume it has also something to do with power delivery, because the HDMI USB Adapter needs power from the phone, to function correctly. Only the Google Pixel 4a obviously can manage everything correctly.
Huawei P40 kills the apps constantly. And the LG K61 manages to give only as much energy as the device is being turned on, but the picture decoding seems then to be to much.
I assume the apk file is safe to use as my phone warned me it could harm the phone. Using FPveiwer, but it does look pretty bad on my G7.
Yep no issues for me. Ran virus scans etc all good
Please help me!!... i concect everything to my sony a6500 in Android (samsung a51)... and i have this message from android: Device connected(9) :dev/bus/usb/001/002 - MACROSILICON (null[239:2][2109:534d])
Great vid! Got me exited to buy one.
Does it support 4096x2160 60fps?
The output is only 1080p 30 fps but it'll accept a 4k input
@@NEONAIRSHIP the output works for me, but for the input, I read it accepts 4k (3840x2160), but I record at 4096x2160 60fps. Do you happen to have tried 4096x2160 60fps?
I've not but you can usually configure your hdmi output on the camera to be 1080 regardless of what you record at
@@NEONAIRSHIP i feel like such a noob... didnt know that haha. Thanks man!
brilliant!!!! thank you!
Will it work if i use USB-C to HDMI cable?
Nope you need a capture device
Hi, this all looks great but the app thing went over my head a bit, can you link the website where you downloaded the APK .. what is an APK btw ? I probably missed your speech being a bit fast and slightly muffled . I want to try this with my GH5 and obviously want the best poss result . Thanks in advance .
Apk is just an android app format. If you download the endoscope HD app and plug in the capture card it will pop up with a link to the APK download
@@NEONAIRSHIP Thanks , i'll order up a capture card , I have all the other bits . PS, really cheesed off Panasonic are killing off the image app home and baby monitor functions....maybe you know an alternative that does the same job.?
Mm not sure sorry I haven't tried those
Question...
First thank you for the idea..
Ive got it with my Z6 now.
But the only app who really Works on my P20pro is
USB Camera pro from ShenYao.
So far so good.
But there is no cheep small Actual Android Phone on the market.
The P20pro is too big for that Kind of Job.
For that size i would better Use a feelgood 5 or 6.
But i have there a 2016 iphone SE.
Perfect Size for this use and it's Actual on ios 14.
So Anyone kows of and with wich app this Works on ios?!
Awesome! I Want To Use My Phone As My Desktop Monitor. I Have A Fairly Small Form Factor PC With A RTX2060 Mini ITX GPU (I say this Becasue it's not raspberry pi small). Sounds Crazy But I Want To Use My Phone As Emergency Monitor. I Don't Own A Laptop And Want To Use My Computer In My Car lol. My Car Has Alot Of Batteries And A 1500Watt Pure Sinewave Inverter. This Would Be The Budget Way Of Using My PC In My Car For HPTuners And Flashing The Engine Computer Without Driving Up To My Window And Using A Long Cord Out Window Of Room hahahaha
Hi, if I turn off the camera and the screen of the phone, how long does it take to resume the video feed after I turn it back on? Thanks.
Endoscope App is now a dead link :( Betting google killed it from the play store, but it's still available directly.
Sony now do an android phone that will take a HDMI input, but it's US$2500
I've found camerafi and camerafi live work straight from the app store now
@@NEONAIRSHIP Gotta wonder if this feature is on Filmic Pro's roadmap.
Awesome
This is a MUCH CHEAPER way to have a portable monitor for my crypto mining rig.
Thank you!
I knew this could be done in some or other way. And here it is. Thank you so much for the video!!!
Hi if u tried it and if you have brought these things please tell me from where I can buy these things
Brilliant Hack, this is what TH-cam is for! Well done.
Really great to see this! Also i'm glad that it has so many views. It seems like more creative content like this could get featured on YT rather than the all the paid /sponsored content that doesn't look for simple/ creative solutions first. Congrats!
grrr.cant fine this EXACT APP> I had that when someone point a VIDEO....says look for a spafic APP and google PLAY changes the NAME or DESIGN OF THE APP.
yo, i cant believe the ammount of subs you got compared to the quality video you produce - i cant recall when anyone ever had such a great idea like that, i think this video will skyrocket aswell as your channel - cheers man!!!! +1 sub ;]
It's because it's my idea!
woooow. i was looking for cheap external monitor but never think about using my phone as external monitor! great idea! thanks! 😘
Freakin genius! I’ve got an old tablet knocking around. Will give it a go with that. Can’t use my phone as I use it with my parrot teleprompter
CAN I use my ps4 instead of the camera????
IM LITTERALLY CREAMING AAAAA
holy shit.
Do you know why i cant download the android 10 version ?im install the app and click for download for androind 10 but nothing happened ... Or do you have apk that support android 10 ?
I'm gonna use this for my n64.
It work bro??
@@bawanghijau6645 it did!
Thank you for posting this video 🎥🍿🍺🇺🇸👍. You have a new subscriber 🎉. Keep up the great 👍 work 🎉.
Just picked up one of the cables and capture cards and for the 15 USD including next day shipping i'm definitely happy with the results. Just need to pick up a few more of these capture cards now and see what else I can use them for!
3:20 xD
Can this method works on a hard drive? Like instead of using a phone, the video capture card will be plugged directly to a hard drive or a storage where it has GB memory to it like sd card or something. In that way the video or files that you’ve recorded will be saved to the device like hard drive or sd card that i mentioned. Please respond thanks!
Nope
@@NEONAIRSHIP thanks for letting me know sir!
i DO NOT LIKE to stick cameras where the sun dont shine sir HOW DAAAAAARE YOU!!!
Just curious about latency. Also what capture devices have you tested? This is very interesting
Is there not a way or an app to do it with straight with a USB-C to HDMI cable?
Great tutorial! I found this HDMi device and a couple of useful cables lying around. I tried connecting it to my camera Panasonic Lumix G7 and it actually works! Now i just need to find a phone holder. Thanks alot.
But i think endoscope HD only saves video without audio. Or maybe i didnt set it up properly.
I know the g7 stop sending hdmi signal when recording, does that happen when you try to record with the phone attached?
I'm gonna run my raspberry pi on a garbage old android phone. Recycling, save the planet and all that
Ahh I found this again. Trying to search mostly just comes up with videos about obvious wifi connection. I have the adaptor so just need to try it out now
does it work with shooting videos with the camera?
Thank You SOOOO Much Sir!!
This will hopefully help me to obtain a sharper focus. I'm tired of missing the mark due to bad eyes. My SL1, I can not rely on the lcd display, nor the viewfinder, for sharp, crisp images due to my issues. This just may be the solution.
I have found everything you listed. (3.0) and about to purchase them!!
Thank You Sir :)
I tried this setup and it works nicely but my issue is, it is not plug and play. I have to insert a flash drive first on the OTG cable then plug to the capture card before it can recognise the output from the HD Video card. Is there a way to automatically recognise the output from the capture card.
My smartphone is a Samsung Galaxy S9
Thanks for this solution. I have to do the same too.
In the playstore I found a great app after a few days of loading and trying and uninstalling. I HATE ADs so if it has a single ad it is deleted. I found OTG Viewer 2 and it works really weell and NO ads.
Unfortunately, it did not work for me.... I'm using a GH4 and a Xiaomi F3.
The next step would be to use the smartphone as a recorder in the same quality as a Ninja V, for example.
Perhaps Filmic Pro can use an OTG connected camera - would be perfect if they did.
EDIT: the OTG app asks permissions to record,....
How about the 30 minutes time laps recording period? Their is possible that it prolong the time of dslr camera using android phone?need your help please🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
did you found the solution yet?
My monitor will take a while to get replaced, till then can I use this method to use my phone as my monitor for my PC, as parents are for not allowing me to flag my PC to the TV?
If this works, its a perfect server monitor for when you have issues with your server :-) !!!
Yeah i was thinking that too. I've previously carried a car reversing camera monitor and VGA to AV converter - never mind the quality, just smell the cheapness.
I ordered the cables using your links and it works! I just ran into one issue. The screen does not stay on continuously and switches of after about a minute. Did anyone else run into this problem? I tried this on a Samsung galaxy note9! Thnx!
i'd imagine it's something to do with your phone's power saving settings, worth having a play with those!
I found it! It was actually a display setting on my canon m50. Thnx for the support!
Hi, I'm trying this with a note 9 but it's not working. Is there something specific I need to do? Which app are you using? Thanks!
Will this mathod effect the Croma sampling and bit depth of video?
I have a Canon 70D and a Samsung Galaxy S22+ and cannot find the right app to work. I have the cables but no dice. Any help would be appreciated
I have a conon 80d cam I cont hdmi in my cam camera display is off please salushun
Have you found a way to keep the phone charging during this setup? I've I've found a way for my camera to be charged which is with a dummy battery
Thanks video please not very clear can you give link for REC in my samsung phone from camera in hdmi with Android platform best application for REC
Can I stream a football game using this technique using my data from my phone live streaming threw Facebook?
tryed that app full of ads not good at all going to need one that dose not have ads
My cameras micro hdmi port is broken . Do you think this will work with the cameras micro usb port? I have a canon m50
How about iPhone? Can it be an external monitor?Ex iPhone 6
Tried it with my phone, a Samsung a54 and my tablet, a Samsung tab s6 lite. Both did not work. Are they usb 2.0 and is usb 3.0 required.
My camera only has a CB-VC1 to NTSC Video Out can you show me how use my phone with that? HURRR
I bought everything in the video except one detail - I noticed the Capture card i purchased is a USB 3.0. I am using a Note 20 Ultra and I am having issues with the phone recognizing the Video Camera. Not sure where I'm going wrong.
My camera lcd doesn't turn on, can I use this as an external monitor to replace my inbuilt LCD.
I tried something similar with hdmi to hdmi cable + video capture + lightning to usb 3 camera adapter, i tried to connect my Canon r7 with iphone 12 pro, but it showed error that accessory such a usb 3 adapter need more power, so i plugged in charger and it doesnt show error anymore, but still doesnt show view from camera, i used blackmagic camera and CamX app, aby ideas ? Maybe iphone 12 pro is too old?
Does it work only with HDMI? can it
connect with OTG adapter on phone and Micro usb port from camera?
I tried using a micro hdmi for the setup on Panasonic G7 and Huawei Nova 2i and it works!
