Rated 5 out of 5

Great Bang for the Buck!

Pretty impressed! It's surprisingly full featured for such a cheap monitor. Not the "best" screen (I wouldn't do color grading on it) but it's definitely sharp enough for critical focus and large enough for framing. Few things to share. 1) It has an auto flip feature! 2) The mounting arm comes with a cold shoe attachment. I like using my cameras hot shoe for a wireless microphone. I also put my camera in a SmallRig cage to protect it. I suggest, with any larger camera attachments, that you attach them to a cage to protect the shoe from being damaged. I bought this hoping I could figure out a way, and it was super easy! Use an Allen key wrench to remove the one screw attaching the monitor bracket to it's shoe mount. The good news? That screw is 1/4-20! Yay! This means you can use that same screw to easily attach it to any cage in almost any configuration. This is a definitely a monitor that was clearly copied from another brand, but it's decent build quality, clever battery attachment, and ease of use are exactly what I need. It's pretty light, as it's made from plastic. I haven't had a chance to test it long-term, but everything seems pretty good. The full-size HDMI in port is even fully shrouded to protect it from accidental damage. If you want something cheap, light and good enough to do the 90% of all jobs, get this.
