FOTGAA50TLS 5inch FHD IPS DCI-P3 Wide Color Gamut Touchscreen Video DSLR Camera Field Monitor,Waveform,Vector,3D LUT,700nit,1920x1080 HDMI 4K & 3G SDI Input/Output,Dual Battery Plate,Sunshade Hood

This is my first field monitor as I transition into videography from photography. I bought this monitor from amazon and an AK2000 gimball from another vendor (store credit purchase). Not having used one of these before, I opted for the higher end model after researching what SDI was. My theory has always been to have and not need then to need and not have. I'm previously familiar with BNC connections as well so I knew just a bit for starters.The image seems to be super sharp. I tested by not only plugging in my camera to it, but also plugging in my 4k Nvidia Shield and playing back to the future since I've seen it a thousand times and am extremely familiar with all aspects of what's on screen including sharpness. The screen stayed sharp and clear to me even when I used the gimbal to rotate, making my viewing angle go to the extremes to either side. The menu seem straight forward although I had to look up some terms since (again) I'm just beginning to understand videography. Do note that you can be up and running out of the box without having to do anything with the menu. The touch screen is responsive which is what my worry was before buying this. I did have some NP-F batteries already so I utilized them to get this thing powered on and in use.I'm sure I have much more to learn but as a beginner, this seems to cover all bases and then some.

FOTGA has truly out done themselves. This lightweight 200g Monitor (weighs less than my iPhone 7s) has so many features packed into a small 5” hard plasticky body. I wish it was aluminum! I wish they would’ve made it 300-500 nits brighter with an aluminum body for $350-$400. I’d still buy it. SDI-IN/OUT (perfect for future proofing the monitor for when people make the move to a Cinema Camera). HDMI IN/OUT, DC Out ( I run a dc cable to d-tap off my RED camera or use a d tap on a v mount, BAT OUT ( dc to dummy battery, or DUMMY battery to tap), and it has headphones in case you wanna use that — probably isn’t any good haven’t tried — doesn’t matter honestly. OKAY! Really the biggest draw back is the brightness but they supply a really nice and functional sunhood that can live on the monitor, so that helps. Also, second drawback like aforementioned— hard plasticky body. You get 4 customizable function keys, brightness adjustment buttons, input for hdmi to SDI button, AND it’s a freaking TOUCHSCREEN! All for $260. Crazy. It beats the SMALL HD FOCUS without even trying when it comes to features. It has 3D LUT support and you can load those via the USB on the monitor. FOTGA truly took advantage of every inch when it comes to this monitor. Honestly, it even beats the ATOMOS Shinobi when it comes to features but not build or brightness.

I haven’t used this in the field yet, but my first impression is I’m pretty impressed.I got it to use for my C100 Mark II so that’s what I’ll be comparing it to. The image is surprisingly good. Sharp and bright and the color looks very accurate. More accurate than the C100’s OLED actually, which tends to be a little on the green side. It’s also slightly brighter than the C100 screen, even with luminance turned on. Not by a ton but definitely noticeable brighter. 1080 resolution on a 5” screen is very sharp and easy to check focus. Great options for mounting and customizable buttons. It’s very very light which in this case is a benefit rather than a detriment. Comes with a DC cable too so if you happen to have a 9v battery pack, you can just pop the cord in and go without attaching batteries to the monitor adding extra weight. The included HDMI cable is quite thick, stiff, and longer than necessary so I ordered a 1’ coiled right-angled cable instead. When the fan is on, it’s almost completely silent. The touch screen sort of reminds me of one of those old GPS systems, not like a smart phone. But there’s very little lag and the pinch to zoom feature works really well.Overall I’m really happy with this purchase and recommend it to other Canon cinema owners.

I wanted a decent sized field monitor that could bring some functions to my Nikon D750. Focus peaking and false color to be exact. I dint think I would need the other features, but the thing works so well, it's my new favorite interface for shooting interviews.I can easily get my focus tack sharp, take a freeze frame to show the talent, check my histos, exposure and white balance, then monitor my audio levels on the nice bright screen. It will carry a few LUTs on board as well which can be helpful.The only thing I'm not sure of is how the brightness holds up outside because I don't shoot outside. But, for indoor use, it's great. Sometimes, I'll attache hood if the room is particularly bright. But, even then, it's bright enough without the shade ... but the shade is helpful.

I am very impressed with this monitor. I love the fact that it's small and light. Seems very sharp, having touch controls is great, "squeeze zooming" with your fingers to assist with focus is fantastic. Gives LUT support and having both SDI and HDMI inputs make it very versatile and helpful. I also love that it comes with a sun shade that snaps on, and best of all folds up nicely and can stay on and protect the screen when it is in a case. For my needs, this little monitor is fantastic.Oh, and last but not least, I love that it can run on 1 battery, but has two battery slots for extended use and also can be hot swappable so you never lose power! That's fantastic. Highly recommend this monitor.

Great product, but to access the volume you have to walk a nonlogical path! The quality of the audio amplification is of low quality generating noises. Brightness of the screen is ok, but for outside monitors in the sun I indicate other monitors. His building is very good! The fit that comes with it is the best I've had, even though everything is plastic.Ordered on June 17, 2019 (1 item)after these years the screen started to present problems such as:Lighting variation.Color inconsistency.I do not recommend it for professional use.For those who want to use it as a joke, it's great!Not trusted by professionals.

Un superbe moniteur un peu difficile de s’y retrouver dans le menu mais reste parfait! Malheureusement pas le budget donc j’ai du prendre le A50 TA quand un partenariat via Instagram ? 🤟
