You can diy this, albeit not as nicely packaged without some technical knowhow. You can save half the money (or free if you already have the components (which many of you do). If you are using android os by buying a $8 hdmi capture dongle, requisite cables, phone mounting hardware, and download the accsoon app. The app still works with all features!! You can add a battery plate and USB splitter to add in phone/camera charging. I had all the components already at home so free for me! It does have more cables tho...lol 😂😂. I may need to 3d print myself a housing and it hack together

One of the best videos on RU-vid. Much of the new stuff is confusing but Gordon is always focused on you getting to the next level. Bravo 👏

This looks awesome! I've been looking for a way to use my LG v60 with it's great screen for monitoring from my Fuji XT4. The fact that unit records 1080p and livestreams is a bonus especially at this price. I'd just record internally for the most part for the 4K, etc. I was planning at some point to maybe get the BMD Video Assist 5" 12G HDR. Thanks for sharing this.

Thanks for the review - was thinking of buying it . It helped !

Looks like a pretty good option. But I was unclear what was coming from the camera and what was built-in, like the audio monitor, and the VFx. Also would be nice to have a stereo mic in for audio if that's possible bc of the USB-C being needed for both.

amazing video. thank you a lot. i have a question about that , you suggest this (accsoon m1) or a connectivity with someone cheap capture card?

overlay image alone makes me want to get this. will get a dedicated phone for it though, just to have my phone handy and available. without the need to mount and keep unmounting etc.

Hello good day. I have a problem and I can't figure out why. When I connect the device to the phone, everything works correctly, but when the camera screen is turned off, the hdmi signal stops emitting, that is, it is cut off. How can I do so that even if the camera screen is turned off, it continues to emit a signal? My camera on a Nikon Z7. Thanks in advance.

Hey Gordon, love your videos. I've bought the M1 and trying to connect my Sony A7RV to Samsung S23 ultra. It seems there's a connection because I lose the camera screen but I\m not getting a camera view on the mobile monitor. Do I have the camera on PC connect? Is there any settings in the phone I need to change? Appreciate any help.

As always Gordon, another great review. This is a excellent product. I just hope they design a more durable light weight metal version with a internal battery and less latency. Then I'm buying two!

My concern is that clamp will fail very quickly as you mentioned.

This actually looks really useful, needs to have a version that's large enough for tablets . Does the app record in MP4? (I've noticed the free apps for these usb video devices seem to use strange codecs like MJPEG)

Does anyone know, does it record and stream stereo audio?

Can it connect with Camerafi Live App as external camera source? Is it works with Samsung A series like Samsung A33 or Samsung A53 ? The reason why is because i want streaming a basketball game with a scoreboard overlay and Camerafi Live App provide that feature and also has option to get source from external camera if we use HDMI to USB-C / UVC camera capture .

Looks interesting.. the battery output jack could powered bmpcc 4k/6k camera 👍

A no-brainer for streaming, where you'd need a mobile internet connection anyway, but with prices for dedicated field monitor/recorders having dropped as low as they are now, maybe not ideal solution.

This is way good. Thanks. What are specifications for the android phones for this gadget?

Just to clarify, you can use this as a monitor alone and still have 4k and 10bit internal?

Focus assist and Exposure Zebras, Nice touch.

What I need to know if the lut is baked into the footage

Returned mine. My genuine NP batteries would not fit properly and it would not output 1080i only 1080p

Cool device! :) Have a good week!

Should be perfect for "box-type" cameras like BGH1 or BMMCC.

Great review!!!

Anyone know where to get one ? Seems to be no stock anywhere

Only mirrorless, DSLR can use it?

Great review and I really like the light portability recording option compare to say a Ninja V...quick question, in one segment of the video you show side by side comparison of two videos--does that mean you can simultaneously record to your phone and internal memory card of the larger camera? Please clarify and thanks in advance!

Thanks for the video! Just checking, can it also be used for just monitoring while recording to the in camera SD's? I'm very intrigued by this solution.

live not work on youtube. , they are working on still

Good One Sir..I like it🙂✌️

Note, does not work with all the cameras and older camera either which I just tested

Ooo I love this energy

Brilliant little device

Interesting device, thanks for doing a video about it! I could definitely see myself picking one of these up. Just to clarify, am I right in thinking that the full rez (4k etc) files still get written to the camera's SD card, and that the lower limits only apply to what's recorded to the phone or for livestreaming? Also, do you know if the mic level monitoring also works when using an external mic, or does it just register the camera's mics? (Or maybe it's measuring what's going thru the camera's pre-amp, regardless of external vs internal mics?) Thanks!

Thank you so much for this video. I guess it is exactly what I need. Just wondering if this will work with the Canon EOS R7 and the Huawei Android P30 Pro phone? Thank you very much for your help.

Pretty cool and useful device

The price is really good considering those cheaper capture cards on amazon tend to be really hit-or-miss. I've heard of them going kaput after a couple days. If you were buying a reliable cap card to compare with this, you're looking at $60-100 easily.

been doing this since the G9 :)

Hi Gordon! How do you find the lag? Is it bad? I'm thinking of getting either this to go with my Samsung S10 or buying a dedicated monitor like Portkeys PT5 II to help me focus manually while filming on my new Panasonic S5 :)

Hi. what is the software that you have installed in your Android Phone? and how you got the same?

Whats is the name of app

Somebody put a bit of thought into that little device. That's for sure.

Gordon, i was asked by someone if the new ios version can also be used for stills photography as well as video?

Would the Accsoon SEE app still work if I use a hdmi capture card?

The evolution of this would be a device that was either wireless to the camera at the same time or connected via USB C to the camera instead of HDMI. Then the phone has Monitoring and Camera control all on the one app.

Hi Gordon, hi have a samsung S20+ and I can't seem to use my phone as a monitor. A pop-up on my phone always says " OTG Switch" I need to turn it on, any idea on that? Thanks

Can you control audio levels on this device - or is it just to view the levels

I did notice the moiré on your hat on the 1080p recording, but it still seems like an interesting device.

Were you able to stream using data on the phone? I saw some person wasn't able to. Thanks

Hi, I liked your review. I am trying to find out if I can use this as a monitor for still photography and will the app control any of the functions for still photographs. Cant seem to find any information directed at stills. I looked at the app but without the device connected, it doesnt show me a lot. Also checked their website and did not find out any more. Sorry if this seems like a no brainer question, but dont want to spend money on a solution that wont work for me. I have old tired eyes and just need a better screen than my camera's built in screen. Thank you for your time.

As a Sony shooter this looks interesting. I do have one question though, will the screen or evf of the camera turn off when recording with this device? Mainly interested in showing camera settings.

Now if this would have good quality 4K output I would instantly buy it as a match for my S21 Ultra. Also at lets say double the price...ok do throw in a sturdier construction and quick charging of the phone then. But I suspect that the device is mainly limited by many phones. Although those have a USB-c port they are still USB 2.0 devices at the interface. So I'll wait for Accsoon to maybe release an upgraded version in the future 😀

Good day! Is this compatible on canon 80d? Thanks in advance

PSA! I tested the Accsoon app with my $15 capture card and an otg adapter and it works really well. AFAIK this is the only usb video app with focus peaking and other camera related features, so this is really cool for the frugal videographer as it's a free app with no ads.

How is outdoor visibility on the Samsung s20? I have one too and am looking at the monitor but only if viewing outdoors is okay. Thanks

Yes it does work iOS it’s just that you get a lighting cable .it’s called the so so from same company .

do you know by any chance if it would work with a 5d mkII and a mobile?

If I'm using this can I just record 4K through my camera and just use my phone as a monitor?

ACCSOON M1 work will all camerals or only fuji film?

hey Gordon, can this bypass the 30 minutes limit record?

Good video, is facebook livestreaming possible

Has anyone actually used this to live stream using 4g/5g from phone? Reviews on amazon sate saying streaming only works with WiFi... 🤔

Great video! Does it defeat HDCP copy protection?

any idea if the newer one works with android devices?

What is the recorded fps on the phone?

NEED this for iPhone.

support sony a7iii?

I use an android phone android phone so this is great

If you don't have 4k and need a monitor, looks like a solid-ish solution.

Hi Gordon ! Are you 100% sure that this Accsoon M1 records in H264 codec like you stated at 7:30 min.? because on another revirew (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-r2SxwTCIwDM.html) in the comments, someone from Accsoon stated that "The M1 uses the MJPEG codec, which is less efficient than the H264 codec used in SeeMo. 20 Mbps in M1 is equivalent to 2-5 Mbps in SeeMo". This info about the codec is missing on Accsoon1s website and online user manual. Thank you very much and all the best in the new year!

minimal lag ?

It's nice that it's for android, which is what I happen to use, but I really don't think I need this. Or any other external recorder for that matter. And although it's much less expensive than a NinjaV, it's still quite a bit of money. My Canon cameras have flip screens so I don't quite see the point. Those who do video professionally probably know why they need these things. I always seem to forget what the benefits are.

Only downside is that it is already too difficult to move files and photos from a phone to a windows or Linux computer. This is especially so if you don't want to use Google services

Nice solution over Jerry rigged setups

So now use android phone as a streamer? Title of video is very confusing. Tricked me into watching whole video.

I see the phone is bigger than the camera.. LOL! You need to buy a 'phone' strap and 'phone' bag to carry the phone.. You could put the camera in your pocket and the phone around your neck...

Take my money haha

Can't buy these any more. Out of stock.

That does look very interesting! Great video as usual. (funny enough the Ninja V won't flip the image for making self shooting easier, though I like mine a lot for its efficient add-on h.265 codec).
