What is a field monitor for, and do you really need one? If you're not sure, the Portkeys PT5 is a great budget field monitor, and for many will be a great first monitor.

Just purchased. Solid aluminum body, surprised given the price. The cold shoe mount is good too. Great first external monitor. Pinch zoom can be enabled under Settings>Gesture Zoom (page 2)

Hi Mark, I hope your health is getting better. Crystal clear explanation on this monitor. Btw, how do you compare this one with the Feelworld F5 Pro X ?

I wish I had seen your video sooner. I just returned a monitor I bought. Lousy controls, silly menu progression, and it would randomly turn off, then I had to “reboot” the battery on the charger. Like what?! I’m going to give this one a try based on your excellent review.

@docrock1069 2 месяца назад

Hi Mark, not especially on the Portkeys, but on external rig monitors in general: When I have an external rig monitor connected (via HDMI/Feelworld F6 plus X), then everything on the external monitor is reproduced exactly as it was on the Canon R10 display, except for the 'spirit level', which doesn't make it onto the display. Is this the case with other cameras, too i.e. normal?

@Subfrequenz 11 месяцев назад

Hey, does the Portkeys have 1:1 pixel mapping for focus checking? Cheers!

Great Review. What kind of rig is that on the camera that allows you to move the monitor to the right instead of the hotshot. Thanks in advanced

@markwiemels Год назад

Smallrig cage. If the cage does not have that feature, you can just buy the small rig cold shoe part, and put it anywhere there is a threaded hole on the cage.

@armandmensah Год назад

Nice review, is the brightness enough outside ?

@markwiemels Год назад

In bright sun, you need the sun shade. All the on camera monitors, that I have tested, that you can see in full sun, have fans on them that make the on camera mics, or mics near the camera, unusable. So thats the trade-off.

@Shawn-nd6ew 2 года назад

Hey Mark : ) I wanted to ask you if you know of a better alternative to Canons Image transfer utility software? I am not getting consistent results with the handshake between the computer and camera for whatever reason - it's like it doesn't initiate image transfer at times like it already did or something , without option to say I know you think you already grabbed the goods but you haven't lets let me make that choice it just doesn't do anything.

@markwiemels 2 года назад

Are you trying to import wirelessly? If so, I have never had much luck with that either.

@Shawn-nd6ew 2 года назад

@@markwiemels Yes wireless I mean it works then it doesn't then it does IMO it has everything to do with the utility side the camera says it is uploading? I was hoping a 3rd party solution as is it is bare bones barely. I should look my brand new M6/viewfinder bundle was missing the USB cable maybe it wasn't supposed to be in there the camera side looks proprietary or different than the on on the M3, yesterday I couldn't find our USB card reader so I ended up switching the memory card from the M6 into the M3 then uploading it with the M3 USB cable LOL good times : )

@dennissiu9942 10 месяцев назад

Great video Mark. But wait, from any external monitor I will lost all the info and data provided by the camera such as the aperture, shutter speed, the zebra, the exposure comp. Am I Right or wrong ? In the other words, i still have to look back to the original monitor to check it out, back and forth 😅

@markwiemels 10 месяцев назад

Depends on the camera system. Most of them move all the info to the monitor, depending on the settings you set in the camera, this is can often be configured either way.

@dennissiu9942 10 месяцев назад

I just bought a PT5 for my M50. I have a problem. When I connect the PT5, my M50 monitor turns off and I lose its touch screen functions for auto focus and for browsing and watching recorded videos. How to set both screens to work simultaneously?

Form memory, that's how it works with the M50.

I agree with the comment above. The gear will not be your limiting factor at this stage, there is some basic gear you should have, like a tripod, and on camera microphone if you are doing video.
