Why YOU might need a field monitor? | Portkeys PT5 II Field Monitor

Have this monitor, anamorphic desqueeze ?

Touch to focus?

Nice video, but one stupid question but did you figure out how to power it with usb A?
All cables I have just don’t fit into the plastic frame around the port 🤔

I got the PT5II and its nice BUT the HDMI whires SUCK! Why there is no 90 (down) angled soft whires???? Is there any shop in the Internet to sell high quality angled HDMI cables?

Thanks for the video, I am looking to buy my first field monitor and I might stick with this one. Thank you! :)

Does it allow you to see false color ?

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 ?

Can you playback on this monitor? With an fx3

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 😅

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

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)

What do you think? This one , or the PT6 ?

Which one is better pt5 or pt6?

Great video and amazing monitor...
I want to know if the "Touch Control"... actually changes the "Camera Settings"

Hi Mark, I have a quick question. Can you control iso, shutter speed, and aperture?

Usually all this cheaper monitors just unusable in daylight, and 2000+ nits cost +- $300 for start.
So easy get what you pay for...

Does this monitor have a focus magnifier mode?

What is the best way to mount this to a tripod? To look down and see what I'm viewing.

can i change what aspect ratio i'm viewing it in?

Nice review, is the brightness enough outside ?

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.

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

Another great advantage is for people with not the best vision and need things a little bigger. Lol. Getting older sucks.

How do you set the screen so that you can see the camera settings?

Can I download a lut from davinci resolve to load in this monitor?

Hi Mark what is the difference between this pt5 and this pt5 2?

This was helpful thanks mate 👍🏼

"The screen on your camera sux..." hahahahahah So true...

Thanks Mark ... pease let me know what your camera settings are to send the mage view and the camera's LCD info ..fstop, Shutter spped ect .... thanks

Look at the HDMI this one sucks man😂

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?

My Lumix S5 Screen sucks big time at night when Constant Preview is turned on. Would this monitor overcome this one truly annoying foible of the S%?

Another thing: I find it RIDICULOUS that they don't have any BASIC REMOTE control buttons on these external monitors like PRESS RECORD / STOP ➞ WTFFFFFFFF. Seriously, I coudln't believe there is none when I got mine PT5. AHHHHHHGRrrr

perfect

Just bought one because of this video! Keep up the great content!

can you zoom in using the monitor to get critical focus? its a make and break for me as i use fully manual lenses. focus peaking can be unreliable at times.

Mark, can you please tell us about how long it takes for it to boot? Unfortunately there was a cut there in the video but I’m sure that’s an important factor for most of us.

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.

Fantastic review!! Thank you for your efforts Matt.

Great review!!!

wait what im so early. I just got my camera last week, do you think its worth it for a beginner?

You have a typo in the title😇
