5-5.7inch HDMI Monitor

  • My trusty old super-cheap on-camera monitor has served me well for some years, but it was time for an upgrade. After some thought and research, I decided upon the Andycine C6… and I’m glad I did. It’s a great piece of kit and one which I am certain will help me hugely with my filmmaking.The monitor comes very nicely packaged, along with a a mini HDMI cable, a micro HDMI cable, a seriously useful tilting arm and even a smart carrier pouch.One of the first things that attracted me to the C6 was the six-inch full HD touchscreen. (You can use physical buttons is you prefer.) It’s a really nice size and is bright, vivid and responsive. Definitely easier to see than most camera screens. Boot-up time was just a handful of seconds, which is more than acceptable. The brightness is automatically adjusted by a sensor according to the ambient light. Love it! Then there’s a plethora of imaging tools, most of which I am going to have get used to utilising: histogram, waveform, vectorscope, false colour, peaking focus, audio levels… all available for adjustment with a tap and a swipe. I can have as many or as few displayed as I choose. I devoted a bit of time to studying the functionality of the screen; time well-spent as it’s now a doddle to use. I have also enjoyed being able to load LUTs via an SD card (maximum of 50) – this is a fabulous addition which I made full use of during my first test ‘run’.I haven't weighed the unit, but it didn't strike me as being overly heavy and it was certainly comfortable to handle and attach.I am very happy with the quality of the display image, especially as it can be altered via hue, saturation, sharpness and contrast. Colours are vivid and visibility is spot-on.Build quality is fine: the monitor body is made of plastic but, with careful handling, should withstand the rigours of filming. Everything seems well-made and I must confess to being rather taken by the overall design.Something else I noticed was that the operation is surprisingly quiet. I was concerned that the fan would be a distraction, but not so. Not a problem. Plus it promises to prevent over-heating, which is a valuable touch.In conclusion: this is a fabulous monitor. Not the cheapest by any means, but equally not the most expensive. After an initial test, I am in no doubt that this is a sound investment and one that I am going to make full use of for years to come. How did I manage without it?
  • Display is very bright and easy to view during harsh daylight. Lots of monitoring tools like waveforms. Construction is ok...
  • This is a must have monitor for any camera, especially for the blackmagic pocket cinemas. It’s not only 2600 nits, but the 1920x1080 picture it produces is beautiful and not valued enough! It’s a light enough monitor that won’t add any extra weight on rigs and gimbals and small enough to fit in your camera bag.
  • This monitor will certainly do the trick if you want an external monitor to help get better exposure and to make sure shots are in focus. Those are the main tasks of this monitor for me because sometimes I find that the flip screens on smaller cameras like my sony a6400 and sony zv-1 can make it a little hard to judge those things due to the size. The 5.5" screen is a great size for seeing everything clearly. On top of that there are added tools to help you such as false colors, zebras, focus peaking and picture zoom. One of the nicest features is the touch screen. You can use it to quickly adjust the brightness of your screen or adjust the volume of your headphones. If you swipe up from the bottom of the screen you can get access to a quick menu of your favorite functions and it is very easy to change those functions to be whatever you want. Also I like the feature that allows you to flip the screen upside down and horizontally when filming yourself. It's so easy to operate if you set it as a quick button too. For an added bonus there are two physical buttons that can be programmed as well. I really like that feature. They are in a very easy place to access so muscle memory sets in very easily. And it comes with a battery that lasts for about 2 hours at full brightness. This monitor is a great buy!
  • Amazing quality and feature set at a very affordable price. It comes with everything you need.
  • Say goodbye to your tiny stock camera monitor. The picture quality of this device is unmatched and for someone on a budget you can't beat the price with all the features and extras. The ability to upload and preview LUTs is SO exciting and the amount of customization in the UI is incredible. If you're new to videography and on a budget this is a MUST HAVE!
  • This monitor has so many great features ill just start with the few i love. Luts this makes shooting in log or whatver format you shoot in so much more simpler just load your lut and shoot it can load up to 32 luts "via usb c" .Then next thing is the power pass through . where you can mount your wireless video module it takes a Np series battery id suggest np--770 since your powering your monitor and wireless video transmitter.my only suggestion is that it have more NITS, This is great for a director’s monitor or client visuals
  • This monitor is amazing! It is bright enough to see everything even if you are on the beach.This item is very affordable and a complete. I would highly recommend this monitor.
  • This monitor is AWESOME! I got this for its brightness since I tend to shoot more outside in the sun for run and gun purposes and it's perfect! The features are great and I love how the menu is super simple to access via touchscreen. I also love the 6' size vs the 5'
  • This monitor is higher quality than I expected at this price point. The size is perfect for me and I really like how bright the screen is, it's even visible outdoors during the day which is priority number one for me. It has plenty of inputs which means plenty of options for a variety of setups. Overall this is just a really dependable, easy to use, simple, affordable monitor and I like it a lot.
  • Monitor is hard plastic, has a solid feel. The two buttons (other is menuwheel also) feel snappy. Touchscreen works well even with the screenprotector still on, pinch to zoom, quick menu from swiping bottom of the screen, double tap to all the settings, everything is quick to access and can be learned in 5 minutes.There was sunshield, carry case, hotshoe arm, hdmi to micro hdmi cable, UK style power adapter but not Sony NP style battery or charger (like in one video review I saw). 3D LUT import did work with new SD card that was formatted ntfs (old 4gb card in FAT32 did not). There is small lag in monitor image at least with omd em5 mk2 but external hdmi signal out from monitor was lag free. Audio monitoring works thru headphone jack with the cameras that support hdmi audio while recording (omd em5 mk2 only supports it during playback of videofile) and the Firmware version of this monitor was 1.0.2.Amazing monitor with a lot of features for the price in a easy to use package.
  • Great Budget monitor, I love the LUT option and power the camera with the andycine battery. Have in mind that this monitor doesn't récord. I really recomend it.
