on-camera field monitor

  • Extrem gut und wertig verarbeitet (vergleichbar mit teureren Monitoren wie SmallHD oder BlackMagic).Nicht vergleichbar mit anderen No-name Produkten wie Feelworld oder Liliputt...Der ANDYCINE X7 ist mit abstand der hellste Monitor den ich je in den Händen hatte. Hatte auch schon mit dem Video Assist von Blackmagic und diversen SmallHDs gearbeitet und würde diesen ANDYCINE X7 deshalb den anderen sogar vorziehen. Natürlich kann man keine Wunder erwarten, ich bezweifle zum Beispiel das selbst der ANDYCINE X7 gegen eine Mittagsonne ankommt die direkt aufs Display knallt. Aber das funktionirt wohl auch bei keinem Monitor wirklich.Obwohl es kein Touchscreen hat, ist das Menü sehr übersichtlich, intuitiv und einfach einzustellen. Konnte es auch ohne Handbuch ohne Probleme bedienen...Farblich sieht das Bild genau gleich aus wie was ich auf dem BMPCC4K-Monitor sehe nur das er sehr viel heller ist und dadurch viel mehr Kontrast aufweist.Der allereinizige Minuspounkt den ich geben würde ist das extrem spiegelnde Display und das kein Sun-Hood mitgeliefert wird.... Beide Punkte kann man aber wohl mit wenig Kosten/Aufwand beheben...
  • This monitor is excellent, having used it for the last couple of days I must say I am impressed. First off you get the monitor, sunshade, power adapter, mount and various booklets .Looking at the monitor it doesn’t feel too heavy and it is mainly made of good quality plastic which means it doesn’t feel too heavy and the quality is very solid. It has improved from previous models as the battery mount is now stronger and feels more secure and it can now accept Sony and canon batteries.
  • The Andycine X7S is a great entry level professional monitor!Having SDI makes this a valuable monitor. If you know you’ll eventually get a camera that has SDI, spending the extra $ will be well invested.I use a small hd monitor on a daily basis. the main difference I can make is the matte finish. The small hd looks more crisp, because of the glossy display. That’s more of a personal preference.The one battery slot means you don’t get as much battery life compared to twoThe metal construction is nice and feels like it can take a few knocks. But I’ve also noticed this monitor gets warm to the touch after 30 minutes to an hour after being on.Would like to see an improvement in build especially keeping it cooler. Perhaps a rubberized grip would provide better ergonomics.
  • What I like:1. The usability is just soo much better than the previous model! 
-touble tap for menu 
-swipe up for assist features. [double tap the feature to costumize it]
-swipe up on the left side of screen (screen brightness).
-right side swipe up (volume)
- pinch to zoom2. Lots of assist features built into the monitor that help with the exposure and focusing.
histogram
Focus assist
audio metering
zebra
monochrome
false color [I wish there was the IRE numbers as well]
safety marker
centre marker
scan mode
video aspect
anamorphic modes
flip modes
zoom
freeze
pixel to pixel
Lots3. Audio monitoring has no lag! On the previous model I couldn’t use the monitor jack input since it had a lag with the live. Not anymore4. 3D LUT support,[.cube] oh, this is so helpful!!! The monitor already has some LUT’s built in for slogs and vlogs and clogs, but you can add your own via the sd card slot. Soo helpful and easy to use.5. The battery mount has 2 battery options, one way Sony F style and other way Canon LP-E6 battery. So which ever ones you have you don’t need to get extra converters to fit your batteries.
  • It is a great on camera monitorWorks great with my Sony A7iiiLight weightIt has three sides standard screw interfaceso I can easily mount with smallrig cage or any brand gimbal (weebil lab
  • 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 X7 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! :)
  • Love this little monitor. I use it for my pocket 4k. Being that the pocket screen does not tilt this is the perfect companion. I can pinch to zoom and check my focus. It gives the use of the histogram. It's very bright when filming in day light.Great little monitor.
  • I had been trying to decide which monitor to buy for a while now and after doing a bit of research decided to buy the X7 by ANDYCINE as I was looking for a monitor that would work really well in bright sunny conditions; as reading the screen on the back of my Lumix camera in a nightmare in bright sun. I was a little worried when it arrived as it didn’t come with any type of pop out of Velcro on sunshade but as you can see from the video this was no problem. The monitor is so bright it really doesn’t need one.As for the features it contains most of what you would expect from a top end monitor. It has a pass-through HDMI out, it displays Histogram, False Colours, Focus Peaking. The Focus Peaking is such a useful feature as this is quite difficult to view on the back of my Lumix camera but using this monitor means it’s easy to make sure everything is in focus.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.
  • Having not really appreciated the value, I decided I needed to buy a monitor after filming a few YouTube videos blindly, and having done a few corporate jobs where the client wants to review the footage on set.Andycine was always going to be the monitor I bought as I was only after something easy to use and small, and this had some great reviews. The a6 is an awesome monitor - the screen is incredibly sharp, the menu is so so easy to use even for somebody like me who has never used a camera monitor before, and it's small enough to carry around.This price range for monitors is becoming more and more competitive and there might even be 1 or 2 monitors that have more features for this price but you cannot fault the quality of this monitor in both the build and the software, which is why this is the monitor I recommend to most people at this point!At this point I'd normally say something I don't like about it but honestly I haven't found anything that really bothers me yet, but I'll be sure to update this review if I do!
  • As a professional that shoots films, I've become more and more obsessed with that perfect focus and exposure as well as good composition and framing. I think the A6 Plus has helped me achieve that overall. It has some nice features of focus peaking, as well as false color. It also has good 1920x1080 resolution, supports 4K input that gives you good overall brightness at 500cd/m at 440ppi. I also thought perhaps the touch screen would be a nice improvement. I honestly find the touch screen to be not as helpful as I thought, but it does pretty much function as intended. It supports L series as well as Canon batteries, but I've only used the L Series and found it to be acceptable. the included sunshade is fine and works as expected and you will need it
  • This monitor works like a charm and does everything I hoped it would do.Had to figure out how to place the battery so that it wouldn't pop out. I think it was more user error than anything else.
  • I have a Canon M50, and the one feature I noticed it was missing was some picture assists, like zebra patterns for anything over exposed. I wanted a way to see that easily, as well move the display "above" the lens rather then the flip out to the size (I always feel it looks a bit more natural looking up rather than to the side when in "selfie" mode. This fit the bill perfectly. Great picture, feels sturdy, and does exactly what I need. The only complaint is the battery goes dead a little quicker then I would expect, nothing terrible though. And being a common battery type, it is easy enough to get others. It is nice how it comes with "Everything" you need in one "kit". I would recommend this to others.
