A few people have mentioned this, and they appear to be correct. At the time I made this video, even while testing, I assumed that the battery was being charged but it isn't, despite what was mentioned in this video. I appreciate that this was pointed out, and I am pinning this comment for others to reference.

Holy crap! GREAT video and WOW! Now that’s a killer monitor. This is probably the most advanced and feature filled monitor I’ve seen recently. Thank you. Did I say GREAT video? No? GREAT video man!!! 👍👍👍

You're too kind lol. Thank you 🙏

@frankfarago2825 3 года назад

Blackmagic has superb pre-sale customer support. Unlike for example Atomos or Odyssey. This monitor-recorder records in Apple ProRes and Avid DNxHD and DNxHR. However, just so you know, there are cameras out there that record already using one of these two codecs internally.

@paulaquipel7472 3 года назад

@2:00 the blackmagic does not have a battery charger builtin, you have to use an external charger. @6:06 this is not used to change screen brightness. it changes the brightness of the tally LED. screen brightness is controlled through the monitor overlay controls in the upper left.

Excellent video. Thank you for all the information. One quick question, if I may. This video is a few years old now, has this monitor been updated since, or superseded by another brand, since you made it? I'm shooting on a 4.6 Ursa mini, looking for a monitor/recorder, 7" lightweight. Is this still the best option? Many thanks.

Dave Andrade - Post. Color. Gear. Now, is there a mounting solution for USB-C hard drives? 🤔

@frankfarago2825 3 года назад

Secure connection and device mounting problems due to the fact that BMD had placed the USB-C port on the bottom of the monitor-recorder, and very close to the center 1/4-20 mounting hole. Using an SD card or two with these recorders would be the much safer way to go IMO.

I don't believe so. As I mentioned around the 3 minute mark (maybe just a little bit after), if your camera can't export a resolution or frame rate that the Assist records in, nothing will happen. You can always verify with Blackmagic, however.
