as someone who's still using an a7iii that can't connect multiple USB devices for camera control (it can but with lots of limits), just using HDMI is a great option, thank you.
finally, a very well made and presented video. I'm so SICK of all of those "run-of-the-mill" videos with the lazy-ass intros of; "hey guyz, hi-guyz, whutz-up guyz, or, hey everybody..." and ever goddamned variation and connotation of the lazy-ass intros that everybody & sister loves to use and thinks is so cool. It's not cool... it's just lazy. This young man had an Excellent presentation. His intros and outros were clean, well thought and exceptionally well presented. His demo, descriptions and presentation were exceptionally well done. His appearance could have been more professional. But he has a good onscreen presence and a fantastic speaking voice. You answered a lot of questions I had in mind during your short video presentation...Thank you.
@JerryFallwell-bt3py yes you can. Just need to find the right cable(s) and/or adaptors. On my Android phone, I was able to use a USB-C to HDMI cable that can plug into a TV or monitor.
Thank you for this, it will save a lot of stress, now my question is. Some cameras 📷 like Canon 60D, which ordinarily when you plug and output it doesn't display on the camera preview monitor, how do we go about it?
Great video! I managed to get an HDMI to USB-C cable to capture video feed from my Sony a7 into my smartphone. Problem is, it turns the camera screen and viewfinder OFF. Do I need to get an OTG cable and place it in-between the HDMI cable and the phone to have both screens work (camera and smartphone)?
Awesome to hear! Yeah, using OTG and HDMI cable mirrors your camera screen/viewfinder and it seems using the direct USB-C to HDMI replaces the viewfinder.
This is very helpful sir thank you, but I think the one that you are using is a micro hdmi, because mini hdmi is a bit bigger than micro and almost similar to the standard hdmi
I'm not 100% but in theory that sounds like it should work. Only way to find out is to try it (the cables are pretty inexpensive. A brand I like for these cable conversions is Vention)
The paid version only removes ads. But there still wont be zebra or focus peaking, because the app's original intended use is for connecting web cams to smartphones and not really as a dedicated professional monitor app for dslr/mirrorless cameras. You would need an app like Monitor+ or Acsoon SeeMo to get those monitoring features.
Such a great video. Thank you for the info and for linking everything. I know my cord will be different because my R6MII requires the Micro HDMI to HDMI Male. I am hoping to use to this to record when I'm taking photos. I think it would make for good additions to the Instagram posts of my photos. Thanks again!
There are actually. Filmic Remote and Protake have that function to use a separate device as a remote monitor. I heard there's another app too, just forgot the name.
Why so many wirres and connector i think there r lots of wires ( hdmi to C type ) available on Amaozon Will this work..? I have sony fx 30 which has full size hdmi out. Pls help as im new to this and havent tried anything like this.
Idk about a direct hdmi to usb type c cable, but since you have a sony camera, you can use the Monitor+ app and a single usb type c to type a (no need for hdmi adaptor)
can u configure the camera settings using the phone? the lcd for my Fujifilm xa3 broke and im considering this as an option than replace it. i dont have money lol
Unfortunately you cannot control your camera settings from the phone with this app. It mostly acts as a clone of your camera screen with bonus record function
@@RJBaculodoes this method work on Fujifilm xa3? i tried hdmi out to a television first cause the video capture card is not yet here, it only shows output when i clicked playback but it seem to not show what the camera sees
Do you think this method's gonna work on Canon EOS Rebel T100 (3000D/4000D)? I'm looking for a cheaper way to have an external monitor as I don't have the flip screen capability and too broke to buy a field monitor. 😓
Hey thanks Neil, it should work as long as you have a HDMI Out on your camera (which it does). Just grab yourself the right cable and a cheap HDMI capture card and you should be good to go!
I want to connect my EOS R to android tablet S8 ultra ; to use it as a monitor for my cam . how can I get the best quality 4k results?? And do u recommend a specific Vedio capture card ???
Hello dude. Thank you for the creative solution expressed in detail. I would like to shoot videos using my smartphone. In 4K or FHD recording, I would like to monitor the screen of my phone using any other external device such as monitor or TV. Is it possible and feasible? I have an Android phone.
I bought a cable like that and tried it awhile ago and it didn't work for me. But lately I've been using a USB-C to Micro cable and the Monitor+ app and its been working great for me! Here's a video where I show how to do it: th-cam.com/video/APhRqXg8HjE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=cVs8QBeIjUmkLjE2
Unfortunately this didn't work for me Unsure where the issues lies with it but its great idea for those that can get it to work! Video production value 📈📈📈📈
I got this working with an iPad because it has a USB connection (not lightning). So I assume this might work with the latest iPhone 15 with USB-C but otherwise you'd have to use a different method like the Monitor+ app (for Sony cameras) via wireless connection.
@eddieleathwood5373 you could try a Lightning to USB adaptor, but im not 100% sure if it would work. I might try it out with my iPhone 13 later when i get the chance.
Hi Murathan, thanks for supporting the channel. If you own an iPhone 15 (or iPad) with the Type-C connection then theres a few "USB Camera" type apps that should work. If you have an iPhone 14 or older with lightning cable, then it seems the only option is to buy the Acsoon SeeMo device (a hardware and software solution), which turns your iphone into a professional monitor. But if you already own a Sony mirrorless camera, then you use the Monitor+ app which can be used as a wireless remote monitor for your Sony camera. Hope that helps you my friend. Greetings to Vienna!

Anyone have alternative for older Cameras? I use an A6k and it is not compatible unfortunately.
CAN you use hdmi to usb c câble?
Or the capture card is a necessity ?
With this particular app, a capture card is necessary. If you use an app like Monitor+ or SeeMo app, a hdmi to usb c cable works.
Really nice Video RJ
Thanks Peter. I'm about to upload an updated video this week using the Monitor+ app
If I want to use my phone as a monitor only, can I get away with usb-c to mini hdmi cable only?

Sorry to hear that. What model camera are you using?

im assuming this is only applicable to android and wont work with IOS?

Thank you !
No worries!
Great video a
Thanks!
The app didn't work very well with my Lumix s5ii. Try next camera app it's much better
TY!
No worries!
Does it have mf assist on phone monitor
Not with this app. You'll have to use one of the other apps like Monitor+ or Accsoon SeeMo to get more advanced features like focus assist
