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.

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.
While the Blackmagic Design PYXIS 5" Full HD Touchscreen LCD HDR Monitor Kit is a versatile and essential tool for filmmakers and videographers, its standout feature is the comprehensive camera control it offers. This 5-inch HDR touchscreen monitor is designed to be mounted almost anywhere, providing flexibility and convenience on set. The kit includes the monitor, a foldable sunshade, a locking USB cable, and PYXIS Mounts, which are compatible with Blackmagic PYXIS and Blackmagic URSA Cine cameras. The innovative dovetail design of the PYXIS Mounts allows for quick attachment and removal, enabling seamless repositioning without the need for tools.
The Blackmagic PYXIS Monitor's large 5-inch LCD touchscreen serves as an excellent viewfinder, enhancing focus and framing capabilities. It can also function as an assist station, allowing crew members to frame and monitor shots from various positions on set. With a bright 1500 nit display, this monitor ensures clear visibility even in direct sunlight. The included removable sunshade offers additional protection and convenience, folding up to safeguard the monitor during transport.
Constructed with a robust machined metal design, the Blackmagic PYXIS Monitor is built for professional use, perfectly complementing the industrial aesthetics of Blackmagic PYXIS and Blackmagic URSA Cine cameras. 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. These buttons are strategically designed for easy tactile location, even when operating the monitor from the front.
Setting up the Blackmagic PYXIS Monitor is straightforward, as it connects to the camera via a single USB-C cable, which provides video, power, and camera control. The locking screws on the USB cable ensure a secure connection. The HDR touchscreen facilitates full control over the camera's features, transforming the monitor into an extension of the camera itself. Users can navigate all Blackmagic PYXIS menus and settings directly from the monitor, including metadata settings and digital slate information. Additionally, custom 3D LUTs can be loaded for a high-end cinema workflow.
The Blackmagic PYXIS Monitor offers multiple mounting options, compatible with any 1/4" mounts and industry-standard 1/4" mount locating pins. This versatility allows it to be used with Blackmagic PYXIS cameras rigged with rails, cages, and other accessories. The single USB connection also enables off-camera mounting on accessories like cranes or gimbals, maintaining full monitoring and camera control even when the camera is out of reach.
For precision mounting, the Blackmagic PYXIS Monitor is available with mounts specifically designed for Blackmagic PYXIS and URSA Cine cameras. The compact, high-end design of the PYXIS Monitor mount ensures the monitor remains close to the camera. Its two-part design with a dovetail allows for quick attachment and removal, facilitating easy positioning without tools. When mounted, the monitor can be rotated 180 degrees for use as a presenter monitor.
The Blackmagic PYXIS Monitor seamlessly integrates with Blackmagic URSA Cine, transforming into a large screen viewfinder. The URSA Cine supports the same USB-C connection, providing video, power, and camera control through a single cable. The mounting hardware is tailored for URSA Cine, allowing attachment to the Blackmagic URSA Cine Handle or use as a large EVF with the same mounting hardware as the URSA Cine EVF.
