Dude that was my exact reaction! I came across this myself when just messing with the camera and can't believe it's not a feature every Sony RU-vidr is talking about! I am not a pro but was looking to get a monitor as the Sony screens are just too dim for daylight shots, and this solved all my issues even better than I could imagine plus it's all so clean and doesn't require additional batteries. If I drain my phone battery after a very long shoot I carry a quick charger with me and juice up but it's been so great, especially the tap to focus track. Best $20 I have spent on camera gear in a long time!
I just found out about this app today by total chance. I can’t believe its not being talked about more. I’m using the Pro version on my A6700 and Iphone 14 Pro. Wireless worked “OK” but as you mentioned it was laggy. I ordered an OTG cable and should be up and running soon. As long as it remains a stable app I can’t imagine ever spending several hundred for a monitor again! Great video
Dude I know! I was blown away because I found it by chance from just thinking about what happens if I plugged my phone in, would it charge it or be able to transfer photos from the camera but when it showed it could monitor I was sold. I’m not one to upgrade phones often, every 3-4 years but now with the 15 Pro being USB-C I was instantly sold and being able to use the same cable to charge, transfer data, live monitor on phone, and tether to gimbal I would upgrade again in a heartbeat to not have to deal with other accessories. Hopefully the OTG cable works, others mentioned you’d need the lightning to USB Camera Adapter.
@@PhilipBlank can confirm the cable works perfectly. Its just a USB-C straight to Lightning. Perfect length to attach to the phone on the folder. App is working absolutely perfect with no lag whatsoever. I’ve got a shoot tommorow and will get to use it extensively. Very excited about this
I can’t say I have any experience on that, I only have USB-C to USB-C cables and most likely only the newer cameras that have USB-C would have this capability. Some people have commented they are using USB-C to Lightning Cables with Apple’s Camera Adapter, and it’s working fine on older iPhone, but nobody has commented yet if they got it to work with HDMI. I do think Monitor Plus is a Sony specific app. Maybe you could order a cable on Amazon and give it a try! If it doesn’t work then a return should be easy.
hi , i used on ipad pro and sony a7iii in wired mode , it worked but when i take photo on camera it only saves photos on my ipad's storage , it not save any photos on my sony a 7iii sd card. do u have any idea about where is the videos and photos are going to save at ?
Monitor’s website says it works only in wired mode between the Sony a6100-a6700 but you can’t access the camera’s storage, just see a live view. The Sony a6000 may be too old for this as that came out 10 years ago.
I do not believe it can go higher, I think it is limited by the output of your camera but I’ve not found a setting on this. I think the capability is more focused on the monitoring and not recorder like an Atomos Ninja.
Yes! Works the exact same in photo mode, just toggle switch on the camera but the function is the same. It unlocks drive modes such as continuous shot, single shot, pressing the “shoot” button in the middle of the screen releases the shutter.
That’s the best point, I don’t think you do need the Accsoon! If you have a Sony compatible camera and USB-C iPhone 15 Pro this should work, though I don’t know which cameras this would work with. I was about to buy an Accsoon so I could do this exact thing but didn’t want an extra device to deal with and just plugged it in and it worked. I’ve used this for several hours of filming so far. I charge the phone up before use as it does drain battery rather quickly with the iPhone screen on full brightness, but it keeps the camera mostly charged up. I carry a Anker Battery Pack in my camera bag to quick charge my phone if it get’s lower.
I have multiple items strewn together on this, most from Amazon. It’s a Small Rig Magic Arm, PGYTech phone holder. Now I have additional MagSafe mounts I use for the iPhone and also F22 quick release mounts. I plan to put a video out on Falcam F22 items soon!
@@leslieblak4496 personally I’ve not experienced any! In all honestly this is far smoother than I had expected and usually adjust via the phone screen instead of on the camera when I am wired up. I’m sure someone out there can get the latency numbers, but for me it’s a non-noticeable issue.
@@leslieblak4496 Someone commented you might be able to use Apple’s Lightning-Camera Adapter, but I have never used this personally so I don't have any experience to verify! I've only used the USB-C on the 15 Pro.
It works flawlessly for my Sony, it’s been amazing actually! Hopefully they expand to other brands. What camera are you using with the Accsoon converter?
i am running black magic gear pocket 4 or 6k. can use camx for ipad but no other solution that i can find except accsoon. for iphones, hopefull that some other s app will come possibly from black magic themselves or monitor + expand to work with other cameras
