Essential buy! Sure you can use other monitors and there are better ones, but for the price, compatibility and ease of use it can't be beat.

Become immersed in the world of professional filmmaking with the Blackmagic Design PYXIS 5" Full HD Touchscreen LCD HDR Monitor. This versatile 5-inch HDR touchscreen monitor offers full camera control and can be mounted almost anywhere, making it an essential tool for filmmakers and videographers. Designed to complement the Blackmagic PYXIS and URSA Cine cameras, this monitor provides an additional monitoring and camera control option, especially useful when rigging or other accessories obstruct the camera's internal display.

The Blackmagic PYXIS Monitor boasts a bright 1500-nit high brightness screen, ensuring easy monitoring even in direct sunlight. It comes equipped with a removable sunshade that not only enhances visibility but also folds up to protect the monitor during transport. The monitor's machined metal design ensures durability and strength, perfectly matching the industrial design of Blackmagic's professional camera lineup.

Setting up the Blackmagic PYXIS Monitor is a breeze, thanks to its single USB-C cable connection that handles video, power, and camera control. This streamlined setup allows for quick deployment, making it ideal for use as a viewfinder for precise focusing and framing or as an assist station for crew members to monitor shots from any position on set. The monitor features a bright tally light visible from a distance, along with three customizable buttons for quick access to essential functions like zebra, focus assist, and false color.

The HDR touchscreen interface allows users to control all camera features directly from the monitor, effectively turning it into an extension of the camera. Users can navigate through Blackmagic PYXIS menus, adjust settings, enter digital slate information, and even load custom 3D LUTs for a high-end cinema workflow.

The Blackmagic PYXIS Monitor offers multiple mounting options, compatible with any 1/4" mounts and industry-standard locating pins. This flexibility means the monitor can be mounted on-camera or off-camera on accessories such as cranes or gimbals, maintaining full monitoring and camera control even when the camera is out of reach. Precision mounts designed specifically for Blackmagic PYXIS and URSA Cine cameras are available, featuring a compact two-part design with a dovetail for quick attachment and removal without tools.

When mounted on the URSA Cine, the Blackmagic PYXIS Monitor transforms into a large screen viewfinder, utilizing the same USB-C connection for seamless integration. The mounting hardware is compatible with the URSA Cine Handle, allowing for versatile positioning and use as a large electronic viewfinder (EVF).

Elevate your filmmaking experience with the Blackmagic Design PYXIS 5" Full HD Touchscreen LCD HDR Monitor, a robust and adaptable solution for professional monitoring and camera control.
