This helps. Thanks. But one question. Where on earth are you supposed to mount a rode mic if the monitor mounts on the top where a mic would usually mount? No video on RU-vid ever explains that.
Is's not a Proprietary HDMI cable. It's just a short micro-HDMI cable, that you can pickup at any place that sells electronics. I have 6 of these cables that came with my Canon cameras. It features a single micro-HDMI input on the SmallHD 5.5" Focus OLED HDMI Monitor. Just FYI.
i am confused, so since it has a headphone jack am I able to use this on my Canon T7 (Which doesent have a 3.5mm jack) can I use this monitor + an external mic along with it to record audio with video?
One question? Whenever I see a review of these monitors it seems that are geared towards film making. How about for viewing what you shoot as a photographer to make sure an image is well focused and also to compose using the monitor? I use a Nikon D-810 and the monitor in that camera is fixed, for low angle shooting I am visualizing that this monitor could be handy, and also for above shooting too. Would it display the camera settings too? Good review, and I hope for photography could work. Cheers.
I've been wondering the same thing for a long time. I have a sony a7iii and the resolution of the evf and lcd are terrible. The only thing I don't like about the camera. I've been in search of an inexpensive monitor I can use to better see my image while taking it, as well as for showing clients. I might pull the trigger on the feelworld as it's so cheap. I'll report back if I do. Good luck to you Gino!
MA5 updates polarizer film screen with 30% improvement of light sensitivity and 10 ms quicker response time, achieving the most colorful neutral performance. Also, we offer a swivel tilt arm for free for selfie mode or different monitoring angles, and three 1/4 thread points for wide applications. And the feelworld f5 is just a 5 inches monitor. I'll be reviewing these soon!
@@BartJohnsonProd I have a question. Have you ever had issues with this monitor and Sony A7III when you are recording in 4K? In my case, the monitor remains on, but the screen of my Sony A7III goes to black. Any way to avoid this problem? Thank you in advance. Bes wishes!
Seeing both the camera and monitor at the same time depends on your camera. If your camera can do HDMI out and still display its built in screen then yes. This monitor does not have a touch screen and has no camera control.
@@BartJohnsonProd , well, I assumed that is the same one I have , as your title only says Feelworld F5,, OK, They look very similar as all the features you show appear to be the same, this Fw568 is 5.5, where yours is 5".? Thanks.trying to get a link to purchase a wall adapter, I reached out to Feelworld with no reply... Thanks for your reply.
So I have this exact monitor. The first time I used this the monitor was “full screen”. Now it’s out of nowhere a bit smaller. But I didn’t change any settings. Can u please help me?
I have a Feelword 7" that I'm very happy with, especially for focusing. The SmallHD does have that hard to find waveform assist feature. If you rely on those for exposure, it's probably the only monitor under $500 you'll find them on. Pretty frustrating .
I just got this monitor in the mail today and I’m having trouble for when I start recording. When I push record the screen goes black and says now recording video. Do you know which setting I gave to change to make it so I can film while looking through the monitor? Thanks
Nice screen with lots of cool features, unfortunately it only works when im not recording, when i hit the record button, i get a black screen that reads “recording in progress” . Im using a Lumix G7
Thanks for your video, thumbs up! I'm puzzled about one thing if you might have an answer. My new FeelWorld F5 5.5" 4K monitor has a "volume" control. But I hear no sound coming out of the monitor when I play back a video. I only hear sound coming out from the camcorder external speaker, nothing from the monitor. I made sure to unplug any cables from the camera's mic-in port and headphone-in port, but still no sound coming out of the monitor. This should be a simple no brainer thing. Any clues?
That sounds like a setting or limitation of the camera itself and not the monitor. If the camera can send play back audio via HDMI then the monitor should receive it. It sounds like your camera either cannot send audio over the HDMI, or there is a setting selecting internal speakers.
@@BartJohnsonProd Thanks for your reply, I figured it out. It turns out that the monitor can only output sound via headphones. I wrongly assumed there was an external speaker on the monitor for putting out sound, that's false. Can only hear sound when plugging in headphones. Thanks for replying back!
By the way, the only one main gripe I have is with the placement of the USB-C port and Headphone-in port. When using the supplied L bracket to hold the monitor, both of those ports mentioned are blocked by the L shaped bracket because there is not enough space to pass a cable in between the port(s) and the bracket. However, I was able to resolve that problem by getting a right-angle USB-C cable. Plus I also have a right angle cable for a simple wired headphones that will fit into the tight space. Here's a link to the UGreen right angle USB-C cable that will fit into the tight space while using the bracket: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PFHB3R4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
@@BartJohnsonProd New info here. I just ordered the FeelWorld F6 monitor on sale for $149 at B&H ($40 discount good through tomorrow last day). I'm going to refund my F5 model for the F6 which has better features including 12 volts in and out, plus an improved L bracket that allows swivel without needing to loosen the screw, plus LUT support too.

Hi again, one more question please? Might you have a recommendation for a 12 volt cable connecting to a USB-C or USB-A port on an external battery pack? I was checking out various 12 volt cables on Amazon and found it confusing for all the many sizes available. I also wasn't sure if this will work due to 5 volts versus 12 volts specified on various cables. I am currently able to use a USB-C cable into the USB-C DC port to power the monitor, but I also want to try a 12 volt cable as well. Thanks!
It will all depend on what battery pack you are using. Usually USBC and USBA outputs are only outputting 5 volts from those packs. 12 volt battery packs usually use a DC barrel type connector. However, I am a bit confused by your setup. The F5 does not have a USBC input. It only has a DC barrel input for 12 volts. Are you somehow adapting a 5 volt USBC output into the 12 volt port and it still powers the monitor? It is possible the monitor will run on 5 volts, but I have not personally tried it.
@@BartJohnsonProd Hi and thanks for your reply. The FeelWorld F5 Pro monitor I have positively has a "DC IN 5V (Type-C)" port, in addition to a "DC OUT 8.4V" port. Click on this Amazon link and check out the thumbnail pics 5th one down on the left side: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0895VSXT2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 These are the 2 different battery packs I have: Anker 20,000 mAh: www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerCore-Essential-Portable-High-Capacity/dp/B07SQ5MQ6K/ref=sr_1_5?crid=38LXL1ZESF7TS&dchild=1&keywords=anker+20000+mah+battery+pack&qid=1606501837&sprefix=anker+20000+mah+%2Caps%2C212&sr=8-5 AND RAVPower 20,000 mAh: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B082PGS78L/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
So with the included DC IN 5V Type-C port, I'm able to power the FeelWorld F5 monitor via the Anker 20,000 mAh battery mentioned just fine. But I'm curious to see what it's like to power the FeelWorld F5 monitor using the DC OUT 8.4V port. The RAVPower 20,000 mAh battery mentioned earlier is rated for 60W of power, so I'm guessing that has sufficient power for the monitor. But I'm uncertain which cable to get for 12 volt DC power. It's not super important, since I'm already able to power the monitor using the USB-C port, but I'm just curious about the 12 Volt port.
@@caseyonlocation8257 Interesting. My F5 does not have a USBC input port. It has a mini USB port for upgrade purposes only. Make sure you DO NOT try to send power to the monitor through the 8.4 Out port. This is an output port only, and is intended for sending power to a camera dummy battery.
@@BartJohnsonProd Aaah, didn't know that. I was going to try to send power into the DC port. But you're saying power should only go out of the DC port to a dummy battery? If so, then I'll just forget the whole thing. The USB-C port on the monitor works great connected to my Anker 20k mAh external battery, so I'll just use that method.
Just purchased this for my canon 70d and so far seems legit other than i can't get it to display full screen. This might be the cameras fault but would have been nice to know ahead of time since all my cameras are similar :(
hey bart I have 2 questions, 1 what size is the DC input on the monitor and 2 how come it uses 7.4v at the batter and and more at the DC, can you use a plate to connect the battery and run a DC line from the plate and still power it up at 7.4v, thanks
I am going to research this for you and get back ASAP. But I believe it takes 7.4v using battery power because that is one of the highest voltages in commonly used (NPF) batteries. This means the monitor can run at 7.4v and you should be able to power it with a separate battery plate and a cable into the DC port. I want to check the voltage range for the DC input port just to be sure. My guess is it is something like 7.4 to 12v, but I want to make sure I give you the correct information.
I think I have some answers for you! I broke out the calipers to measure the DC barrel connector and it appears to be the common 5.5mm x 2.5mm. I also connected a 9V battery pack to the monitor through the DC connection and it powers up and works fine. I managed to find a product spec sheet that states the DC input is 6-24V. Not sure I would trust the 24V part, but it does appear that it has a good range for DC power input. I hope this helps! www.feelworld.cn/UpLoadFiles/Shop/2018/9/F5-DM-02.jpg
@@BartJohnsonProd thank you so much for taking the time out and doing this for me, I was looking at a battery plate from small rig so I don't have to put a huge battery at the back of the monitor but can attach the plate else where, so I wanted to know the sizes of everything first and make sure it would work. thank you again and fyi I enjoy your page. God bless
@@BartJohnsonProd Yes, the feelworld monitor goes blank when recording video and a message saying "Video now Recording" pops up on the monitor screen, But the monitor is on when navigating through the camera settings before going into video mode
Bart Johnson Productions Canon SL2. I looked through every setting I think it’s just an old model that doesn’t have that functionality. I just want to head and bought a touchscreen monitor
Can you pls send me the link where you got the cable from? I have a canon 80D and the USB part of the camera is different from the cable that came with the monitor. Id gladly appreciate if you shared me the link. :)
Hello friend, good video! A query ... how do I make the screen appear complete ?, I have tried everything, like changing the resolution, pressing the info button repeatedly and I still see more options on the edge of the screen and instead of having the 5.5 of An inch that my feelworld offers I only have 4.5 to give you an example. I wish you could help me a thousand thanks!
If you need a larger screen to view your image, then it can help. It would need to be a mirrorless camera, as DSLRs will not show you the actual final image until after the photo is taken.
Could you use Falsecolor and focus peaking at the same time? thinking that you could control your export and focus att the same time lookin at the screen?
Hello thanks for your videos. I bought a feelworld 5 monitor. Can you tell me please how to upload luts in this version. I thought it would be equipped with a SD card slot. But it's actually equipped with a mini usb. I bought a converter today in order to be able to read a usb drive.
Just got mine with the rawpower charger + 2 Sony npf550 batteries. The battery mount on the display is too big for such batteries and if I slightly move the monitor the battery just slips away :( any solution will be highly appreciated thx 🙏
That's interesting. I did notice that some batteries are a bit too large and will hit the swivel arm when trying to flip the screen. You can always flip the screen the other direction. However, I have not had problems with the batteries not remaining attached.
I haven't used the T7, so I don't know much about it. But if the specs are comparable, the decision is really going to come down to size. Is 7 inch too large for you to comfortably work with, or do you need all that screen real estate?
I'm not sure I understand your question. What recording delay are you referring to? There is a slight delay over HDMI, but that is the nature of HDMI and will vary from camera to camera.
@@BartJohnsonProd the delay between what happens in front of the camera and what you see on the display. Some or most ( I'm still doing research) cheaper monitors have a huge delay, so you actually can't use them for proper filming with getting the focus manually and such.
That will depend on your camera. If your camera can output a lower framerate signal over HDMI while recording in 120fps, then yes. I don't know of any cameras that output 120fps over HDMI.
@@jasonmedas603 I’m not sure on a GH2. You can try connecting the camera to an HDMI TV or monitor you already have and see if the images comes up with the menu system visible.
I was looking at the FW279 the 7" with 2200nits. I like the larger screen for anamorphic and I have heard that these use way less power than my Atomos 7". For a 5" size, it seems if you're looking at the SmallHD the Atomos Ninja V should also be considered too.
I haven't used the FW279, but I will try and look into it! I also haven't yet had the pleasure of working with the Ninja V. This little F5 came across my desk and I was actually pleasantly surprised for the most part.
@@BartJohnsonProd They also have a 7" 2200 nit with SDI for about $350 on Amazon too. I haven't used the Ninja V yet either. Still using the Inferno 7" and it is thirsty for power.
