I have used a ton of monitors including products from SmallHD, Atomos, and others. This particular monitor offers features not found on others in this price range. First, let's talk about the build quality. It's made of a polycarbonate plastic material that makes it light weight which means strapping this 7" monitor to a camera like the A73 is possible without adding a ton of unnecessary weight. It's suitable for gimbals and shoulder rigs as well. There are plenty of physical buttons including a few customizable ones if you do not want to use the touchscreen at any time. For example, I like to disable the touch screen when out in the field to avoid smudges and smears. They interfere with the visibility and light reflectivity when in direct sunlight. So, having the option to go touch-less means less wiping down my monitor which ultimately means I have less of a chance scratching my display. Speaking of the display, it's a great. It has a crystal clean image, with pretty accurate colors, and great peak brightness. It's a pretty reflective display but it gets bright enough that it shouldn't be a problem in most scenarios. The touch OS Andycine is using is great and super intuitive. It also offers tons of customization for quickly accessing modes and settings on the fly. The modes I typically use in every shoot are false color, zebras, 1:1 zoom, focus peaking, and I also add the horizontal and vertical flip options to the quick access bar. This is because this particular monitor comes with a nice mount with a cold shoe attached to it. It allows you to quickly flip the monitor from front to back in case you're filming yourself. Having the vertical and horizontal flip options in the quick access menu allows me to ensure I'm also in correct orientation. There is also audio controls built right into the monitor which is great for cameras that don't have headphone jacks. It takes Sony L style batteries which can be picked up super cheap however it does have 1 in the box along with a charger and a travel case. I've used AndyCine monitors in the past and what I love about them is how much value they bring. They always include tons of additional accessories giving you the ability to pull a monitor out of the box and use it right away which is nice. This is the same case with this particular monitor. If you're in the market for a great 7" monitor that's for the most part day light visible and you don't want to spend a fortune, make sure to check out this one.

I wanted a bigger alternative for me Andycine A6 for tripod work and especially shooting outside. I gave C7 a go, and was not dissappointed:C7 offers features (touch controls, wide variety of colors meters etc) unlike any other monitor in this price group. Color accuracy is good, you even get colorscopes to make sure that your skin tones are illuminated and colored precisely. Anamorphic modes included.The screen brightness is wonderful: I took pictures of the monitor in the worst and most unpresentative surroundings possible: sun blazing behind your back around midday, and still had no problems seeing what's happening even without a hood! You can see that my BMPCC4K:s own screen is almost unusably dark in that environment but had no problems seeing what happens on C7:s big screen.Will absolutely recommend for: tripod or shoulder rig shoots, stream monitoring, focus puller or directors screenPros:-Touch controls-Color scopes and metrics-Screen brightness-Surprisingly efficient battery life for a screen this bright and bigPro/con-This is not a screen for hand held shooting -> shoulder rig definitely recommended (stick with 5" in HH)Cons-A little bit plasticy but still feels durable and high quality

I'm very surprised with the quality and especially performance of Andycine C7 monitor. It is big and bright. First of all the image it produces is crisp and bright. Size of display allows to turn on parades, vector-scope plus histogram and still comfortably frame your shots. The picture in the monitor is very clear and bright. Pictures above were taken in harsh sunlight and you can see the difference between Andycine C7 monitor and EOS R built in display (which is one of the best you can get on DSLR/mirrorless cameras market). C7 is just 4-5 F-stops brighter. Built quality is OK, monitor is light. Attaching it to gimbal is easy and does not double the weight fo the rig. 3 programmable function buttons are a great feature and make life easy. OSD is easy to use, touch screen is responsive and fast. Video features like zebras, false colors, focus assist are similar to A6 plus, work great and allows to really precisely expose and sharpen your image.Overall I'm very happy with this purchase and can recommend it to anyone.

This is the perfect field monitor for the Panasonic GH4 (or any DSLR or Mirrorless camera.)One special feature that no other field monitor in this price range has is the incredible performance outside in direct sunlight. The screen is so unbelievably bright outside it makes it easy to film scenes under sunlight. See the attached photos on this review that show the brightness of the Andycine X7 outside in the sun, and compare it to the LCD screen on my Panasonic GH4. The GH4's LCD screen is very dim when sunlight hits it, but the Andycine monitor stays super bright which will be so helpful when filming an outdoor scene.

First thing, wow this monitor is super bright in the midday sun!! My main reason for purchase was it's 2200 nits. Compared to my other 7" monitor this blows it away in that regard. It's definitely a nice size also, 7" seems to be my preferred monitor size these days no matter what rig i'm using. Build is nice, it's lightweight and most importantly easy to use. Customizable buttons on top also help a lot when operating quickly. I do most of my work shooting outdoors so this is a no-brainer. Has all the features you need too like false color, LUTs, all the scopes, anamorphic etc etc...some competitors may have slightly more rugged feel, but how can you beat the price point of this monitor? Definitely recommend this to anyone shooting video...loving it!!

It's revealing that this monitor doesn't even ship with a sun shade. Even in direct sunlight (see photos) — you won't need one! So much brighter than the camera's screen. Once you've used an ultra bright monitor like this one it's difficult to go back to using anything else.The Andycine C7 has a few unique feature we especially like. The monitor comes with an NP battery (you can never have too many!). It has a handy photo sensor on its top bezel enabling auto backlight brightness mode, so you won't have to change the setting if you are heading indoors and back outside often. The pixel-to-pixel zoom function is also really handy for cropping into the 4K image sent from your camera to check focus. You also get 1/4-20 mounting threads on three sides for various rigging options.This touchscreen is also well thought out. You can change the backlight brightness or volume level by just dragging up or down on either side of the screen. And adjusting menu settings is quicker with touch than it is with multiple button presses (but that option is also available). For an affordable option the setup also looks pretty slick.

I have a camera that I use to take photos mostly outdoor, but as you can see, the screen is small and dark. Not ideal if you like to check your work right away for any flaws. So I was looking at options for portable monitor which could be used for that exact purpose. My criteria for the monitor was resolution, brightness, and size. Although bigger the better, a standard photo print size is more applicable IMO.I decided to give C7 a shot, and boy I am in love with my new gadget. The first reaction I got when I turn on the screen was "Geez that's bright." Then I had to lower the brightness by more than 50 indoor to protect my eyes haha. When I was testing it outdoor on a sunny day, I find it very comfortable to look at with 80 to 90 brightness. The 4K screen beats the little crappy screen on the camera hands down. Also, I have noticed the screen is non-glare, I can comfortably see the pictures without shielding the screen, like I always had to with any camera, even my iPhone.Very satisfied with it so far. I would update if I find anything else worth sharing! :)

I love everything about this monitor. The touchscreen makes everything so much easier and faster to navigate plus the pinch to zoom makes adjustments a snap.The 2200nits shooting in outdoor is convenient and so is the bracket allowing from some carefree run and gun. The 7'' monitor viewing angles are also great and brightness to boot. Overall for the money you'll love it.

Didn't know how much I needed this until I took it out for the first time for a outdoor shoot. It's amazing how much more you can see on this monitor than the one built in with the camera. Having trouble with focusing? This makes it way easier to see what is in focus and what isn't. amazing in 7‘’ 2200nits touchscreen shooting outdoor shooting.

I have one of the A6PLUS monitor and was very happy with them so I was excited to try the C7. I love the fact that it has 4 power options. -2200nit Daylight Viewable,the 7" monitor not only has the resolution and pixel density to make every shot look amazing,this makes it easy to see outdoors without a hood, making it easy for outdoor shooting in bright daylight!-Accurate waveform monitoring,when you need to analyze image quality more accurately than simply looking at the picture then use C7's built in waveform monitoring! -Easy Touch Controls with 3D luts, the innovative touchscreen LCD user interface provides incredible control. You can uses simple tap and swipe gestures for the important monitoring functions. Scopes can be enabled via the touch screen as well as focus and exposure assist. There's also an extensive range of settings all controlled from the large LCD. Plus you can load 3D LUTs!-Innovative Power Supply Design,the new design also features upgraded batteries and supports two standard Sony L Series batteries. You get 2 rear battery slots for mounting Sony L Series batteries, so you have enough power for the brighter screens. Plus with 2 battery slots, you can change batteries without interrupting monitoring! I overall am very pleased with this monitor as I am with every other Andycine product that I own.

It comes with a really nice quality hard case, shoe mount, battery plate but be aware there is no battery included. It does include a mini HDMI cable and power cable. It would have been nice to include a battery for this price, but I have a few of these at home already and the monitor is such good quality I have no regrets with my purchase. Hopefully it will last a very long time.
