I have a question... what if you are using strobes or a flash trigger? Do you have a mounting solution for that as well? I recently did a shoot and my LCD was too small to get accurate feedback regarding focus. I believe a larger monitor would help that. However I still need the shoe for triggers.

@kbqvist Год назад

Thanks for sharing Kevin! If you have a camera that can be used as a webcam (such as some Fujis) via USB output on the camera, I am wondering whether there might be a shorter route. After all, the camera delivers a USB signal that the computer app understands, so is there a need for a seperate HDMI2USB conversion? Just a thought..🤔

@kevinraposo Год назад

it might be possible, but would be specific to the manufacturer. I assume if they had a mobile app which could interpret the USB-C data and record, you could successfully bypass the HDMI output

@Muhammad_Wahyudhi Год назад

For some reason, the USB out is terrible and capped at 1080p, like USB Live Streaming mode in Sony ZV-E10

@Muhammad_Wahyudhi Год назад

Using 4K HDMI Capture (both 4K in and out) could works, theoretically. Camera (HDMI) > Cheap Osee Monitor (HDMI out) > Elgato Cam Link 4K (USB 3 out) > Mini Intel 12th Gen (powered by D-Tap to 12V/2.5A 5.5 2.2mm
