Review Summary

Paired with my Canon C100 MK II, this is exactly what I was looking for out of a monitor. The GUI set up to have screens preset to your need/workflow is worth the price alone. I have found this easier and more enjoyable to use than the Atomos monitor I had rented in the past.

5-inches of Full HD
The SmallHD 502 on-camera monitor features a Full HD, 1920 x 1080 LCD display. With a pixel density greater than the iPhone 6, the 502 is the sharpest 5-inch camera-top monitor in the world. As far as color and contrast are concerned, the 5-inch display is again, best-in-class. The 502's LCD display is able to produce 85% NTSC Color Gamut (greater than the REC. 709 color standard), rivaling the color capabilities of OLED technology.
Simple and Powerful
The 502 makes signal processing simple. Using a custom-built processing engine, the 5-inch field monitor will accept nearly any resolution and framerate from nearly any camera. Building upon the 3D LUT functionality of the DP7-PRO Series, the 502 will allow shooters to apply an even higher resolution, more accurate 3D LUT, in real-time. The value of a tool with this much processing power is amplified when you consider its extremely low profile and compact size.
Durability: Futureproof Your Investment.
Cameras come and go; SmallHD oncamera monitors are built to last. Housed in a milled aluminum frame with a rubberized coating, the 500 Series has durability in its DNA.
Exposure Assist: Professional, Accurate Exposure Tools.
Whether you prefer Waveform, False Color, Vectorscope or Zebra, the 500 Series has a uniquely customizable tool set to help you properly expose your shot. Through the use of Pages, you can organize and optimize your monitoring workflow for speed and agility.
LUT Preview: Creative Confidence During Production.
Most largescale productions have a crew dedicated to producing and distributing live color grades on set. The 500 Series brings the benefits of post production LUT preview to an affordable, 5inch oncamera monitor.
Easy Image Analysis
The foundational purpose of an external monitor is to help shooters quickly and accurately analyze the image the camera is capturing (framing, focus, exposure, etc.). As advancing technology provides powerful analysis tools, how the user engages with these tools is often overlooked or neglected. The goal when designing the user interface behind the 500 Series, was to create a powerful and flexible system that's easy to learn.
Updated 2.2 Firmware
SmallHD has updated the 2.2 Firmware on the 501 with many new features.
