The 1iv for me. But if you really need that battery swap capability, the original Xperia Pro allows you to live stream via hdmi leaving the usb-c port available to attach a power bank
SUCH A BEAST! Sony have constantly been making statements with their XPERIA range. I remember when the first version came out and it was touted as benig a monitor for Alpha cameras....Couldn't believe it when I first saw it on Unbox Therapy. Definitely looking forward to more videos showcasing this phone from you James.
The thing is though, the phone hardware is what enables those features. A barebones external monitor doesn't have 5G, it doesn't have the processing power to package video data for streaming. It makes more sense to use the phone especially if you already have one.
1 hr is def too little for most professional shoots but I think it’s still useful to have as a backup. I view the Xperia lineup as a good supplement to the alpha experience.
The Monitor+ app (iOS and Android) for around 20€ works great. Especially with a USB C to USB C cable on Android because you avoid all that messing around with wifi and Bluetooth.
I always really enjoy your videos. Just one question. Where did you get the cable on your review?( around 2:00〜) It seems official cable by Sony But I couldn’t find it on the web.
Could you negate the problem with charging and using it as an external monitor at the same time with a splitter cable? So you can plug a charger in and the cable to be an external monitor?
You can use the Monitor+ app with USB cable and it is much more loaded with video monitor extras than this Sony app that is available only in those crazy expensive phones.
I've had the Pro i for a few months. it is outstanding. But it tends to be very real. lots of photos outside in the sun and there is an overheat warning. I can live with it, but this point could get even better.
James is there a difference in versions of the external monitor app on the xperia pro and xperia 1iv or is the app recognising the hardware? You can charge the phone by using a USB C to USB Adapter with Type C Charging, 2 in 1 Type C 3.0 OTG Splitter Also you can use any hdmi to usb capture device for cameras without the uvc output My biggest issue is when you go above 720p output on the A7iv the phone switches to its internal mic rather then usb input ie the cameras mic.
Hey James, great video, as always. I still use an A9ii (and an A7R4 for stills) but have just got my grubbies on a Xperia 5V. I’m not having any luck hooking it up as a monitor. Using a USB C. Any tips?
How about wireless charging while using as a monitor. Sorry I dont know how that would work? If you have an old sony camera you could use this phone as a video cam pretending to be a monitor.
heyyy nice video, but i am wondering what is the usb-c cable you used at 2:14 because i can't find any good quality cable that isn't straight (i'm looking for bent cables)
I have the A7C and Xperia V IV. I still can't get it to work. Literally bought the phone for this. I got the Sony monitor app on but when I connect it to the camera it says it's not connected. I bought a USB-C cable that specifically said it transfers video.
I have xperia 1 iv and zv e10. I can connect the camera and mobile phone using usb c cable and external monitor app. Xperia 1iv can act like an external monitor. But when I press the record button on the zve10 it said invalid during USB streaming. Actually the app is in the monitor mode. None of those who talked about this feature did not show how to shoot video with external monitor app. So I do not know what I am doing wrong.
Hi mate, I got the xperia 1 IV and a sony a7rIII but for some reason I cant make it work and use it as an external monitor, do you know if the a7riii is capable?
I watch over and over this channel regarding about Xperia 1iv, some reviewers holding me back to get one bcz of overheating issue. And ask for today im still waiting for a fully updated software to fix the overheating issue or skip the 1iv and get a iphone 14pro. What you recommend for me, thanks by the way
It sucks as an "external monitor. I had to go into usb streaming mode which limits my fps options. and it basically just screen records. It doesnt control my camera at all. Ill stick to my atamos and choose my resolution and frame rates independent of what available for usb streaming.
Which Xperia would you choose? Would definitely be the 1IV for me 👌🏻
The 1IV is the one I ended up getting. Still to do something with it though!😂
The 1iv for me. But if you really need that battery swap capability, the original Xperia Pro allows you to live stream via hdmi leaving the usb-c port available to attach a power bank
IV if you need something to warm up your food
Definitely the Pro i again

Sony just needs to put out a 5" monitor so we can have these great video features without needing a phone to do it.
The thing is though, the phone hardware is what enables those features. A barebones external monitor doesn't have 5G, it doesn't have the processing power to package video data for streaming. It makes more sense to use the phone especially if you already have one.
At a cost of what?……$3000?
If you have a phone, you don't need a computer to live stream.
1 hr is def too little for most professional shoots but I think it’s still useful to have as a backup. I view the Xperia lineup as a good supplement to the alpha experience.

It's actually better than the Sony software from most perspectives!
@@andersberner But the app is very low resolution.. FYI
link to the cable used?
I always really enjoy your videos.
Just one question.
Where did you get the cable on your review?( around 2:00〜)
It seems official cable by Sony
But I couldn’t find it on the web.
Hi,
1:31 Does it only work with Sony cameras? Or can it be done with other cameras?
man, we are so missing your video,pls dont go away !!....we are all with u ..Love from BENGALURU-India
Could you negate the problem with charging and using it as an external monitor at the same time with a splitter cable? So you can plug a charger in and the cable to be an external monitor?
Does any usb c cable work? And is that phone holder same as Sony vlog monitor to kit to experia?
Where is your mounting and the usb-c cable for the smartphone from?
Congratulation now you become the ambassador of new Sony Xperia 1V. Your artworks always amazing!!!!
Does the Xperia IV work with the FX3 and/or the A7RV?
You can use the Monitor+ app with USB cable and it is much more loaded with video monitor extras than this Sony app that is available only in those crazy expensive phones.
Wireless charge should be possible while using as monitor or live streaming while usb-c port is connected to camera
Can you tell me which cable was used to connect the smartphone to the camera?
If you're using the USB-C connection, how would you keep the A7 charged up on the go?
Buy a dummy battery and a powerbank
James, I miss your content that isn't just adverts for Sony. Let's get it back to basics mate. Top lad.
when you actually showed live footage as a monitor it wsa super laggy, is that the case ?
Thanks for the content. Can you see the menu or eye focus points and record the screen for tutorials?
Do you know if these sony phones work with A7C II?
James, does the Sony phones come with the hot shoe clamp in the video? Thanks
Do you think 6300 will get this feature ?
when in USB streaming mode doesn't it force your camera out of 4K24/25 though?
I've had the Pro i for a few months. it is outstanding. But it tends to be very real. lots of photos outside in the sun and there is an overheat warning. I can live with it, but this point could get even better.
Insane video as always Thanks James !
James is there a difference in versions of the external monitor app on the xperia pro and xperia 1iv or is the app recognising the hardware?
You can charge the phone by using a USB C to USB Adapter with Type C Charging, 2 in 1 Type C 3.0 OTG Splitter
Also you can use any hdmi to usb capture device for cameras without the uvc output
My biggest issue is when you go above 720p output on the A7iv the phone switches to its internal mic rather then usb input ie the cameras mic.
Hey James, great video, as always. I still use an A9ii (and an A7R4 for stills) but have just got my grubbies on a Xperia 5V. I’m not having any luck hooking it up as a monitor. Using a USB C. Any tips?
Does this work on Fujifilm too?
How about wireless charging while using as a monitor. Sorry I dont know how that would work? If you have an old sony camera you could use this phone as a video cam pretending to be a monitor.
Can you touch focus on either of these phones when using it as a monitor? Can you also load in LUTS when shooting in SLOG?
James, what is that mount for the phone ontop of the camera?
That's what I'm wondering as well. Cant find it anywhere
but.. can you charge it wirelessly WHILE streaming? sticking a charging dock with ductape somehow...(?)
Nice vid James, cheers for the work. Can I hook up to an A92?
Can I connect it to my older A6500 too? (Sony Xperia 1 VI)??
Where do you get the mount and the cable???!
Thanks for the video. Really well explained.
Nice video! And I also wonder if it is possible to take photos while using the phone as an external monitor?
WOW 👑 SONY GOD FOREVER#1 ✌️ 👑
heyyy nice video, but i am wondering what is the usb-c cable you used at 2:14 because i can't find any good quality cable that isn't straight (i'm looking for bent cables)
What the name of the mount??
Which phone do you prefer if you could choose only one for a similar price? Pro-i or 1 iv?
I have tried to connect my Sony a6700 to the Xperia Pro I, but have just got a black screen. What have I done wrong?
Does this feature only work with Sony products? Or is it universal?
Hi! Please let me know the product name that shoe
xperia combined with alpha camera
Can you use it with the FX3 & FX9 if you're only using it as a monitor? I want to use it for the false color features.
How's the latency?
How is the brightness in direct sunlight? Not sure if i missed that. Thank you
I have the A7C and Xperia V IV. I still can't get it to work. Literally bought the phone for this. I got the Sony monitor app on but when I connect it to the camera it says it's not connected. I bought a USB-C cable that specifically said it transfers video.

My Xperia 1v was working perfectly fine but stoped recognizing the chapture card after android 14 update any advice?
Hi mate, I got the xperia 1 IV and a sony a7rIII but for some reason I cant make it work and use it as an external monitor, do you know if the a7riii is capable?
Can you use the Sony A6400?
Do you know what cable is needed to connect the Experia 1 iv to my Sony FX3
I watch over and over this channel regarding about Xperia 1iv, some reviewers holding me back to get one bcz of overheating issue. And ask for today im still waiting for a fully updated software to fix the overheating issue or skip the 1iv and get a iphone 14pro. What you recommend for me, thanks by the way
Can you tell me the name of the cable used to transfer the image ?
Whats the holder attached to the camera that holds the phone?
can you record viewfinder from the Xperia phones? for pov content
How about the new xperia1v，lighter screen，less overheat？longer battery light？
What is the name of the mount????? Pahleeeasse!!
Can use any phone?
maybe using a portable bank that have qi charging will solve that? sure itd be hot tho.
whats the name of the sony hot shoe phone mount?
Do these phones work well on non Sony DSLR as external monitors?
Hey bro, what is name of the mobile's on camera mount?
does it work on Fujifilm?
I use this setup with my Sony ZV-E10 and only get 1280x720 as monitor resolution. Tried all settings ... no way to go to 1920x1080
We love you Mathew. I hope you realise what a true living legend you are. You helped inspire me more shooting.
It sucks as an "external monitor. I had to go into usb streaming mode which limits my fps options. and it basically just screen records. It doesnt control my camera at all. Ill stick to my atamos and choose my resolution and frame rates independent of what available for usb streaming.
First ever holy me I loveee ittt❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥
dang I only have the a6400. Hope they can add the a6000s to the app
Have they updated yet?? I have a a6400 as well and want to pick up a Xperia phone but won't if i can't use the app
Sony phones are very wonderful
So... it does not work on the flagship A1?
I have a question, does anybody know if I can use an external mic, if so can you tell me how to do it. Thanks!!
does it work on my xperia 5 mark iii???
Not bad but I want an Atomos Ninja V 👌😁
Do you have to use a Sony camera to use the phone as a monitor?
That opening sequence was penggg can't believe what phones are doing these days
Those are from marketing videos which should be taken with a HUGE grain of salt.
Thanks for the topic. A bit less hands waving please (Ricky Bobby lol)
My Xperia 5 iv can Work as a second Monitor, but it seems it doesnt work on the a7iii...so annoying. I cant afford a new camera.
Did you know that they have overheating problems?
I am connecting the phone and the camera and nothing works.
What about a7siii??????
good question
Been doing it for ages! These Sony are cool, but most android phones will work the same with a USB 3 to hdmi capture card!
Can it be done using the latest Galaxy? And can you stream to Instagram?
@@ArtKingjr yap
@@ArtKingjr dunno about Insta, but I don't see why it wouldn't work with the last galaxy
@jjmaia What app do you use? I have a usb c capture card but I couldn’t find an app with a good rating.
@@philgq otg camera, not on play store
Bare interesting
Don't use smart pH as a monitor .it's laggy
Buy monitor
Be a man 😉😉
@jamesMattew im trying to find the phone holder with the camera shoe anybody ?
So much value from this video...Killing it like always🙌 Thanks James😎🙏
Can you record the Focus Green Box?
