[Yes] I bought 2x for my Canon c70's, I have them paired with the Wooden Camera Hinge for the c70, the custom function buttons adds great speed to my work flow.

[1920 x 1080] SmallHD charges what they charge because no one else makes what they make. The display brightness, quality is great, but can be replicated by other cheaper options, what you are paying for however, is usability. This is the most useable and well thought out monitor I have ever used.

It genuinely speeds up my production workflow, and that to me is worth the cost.

[443 ppi] This in combination with the wooden camera mount and a goldmount d-tap adapter will make your work flow made easy

[Aluminum] Great!! Thans

[443 ppi] This Cine 5 checked almost all the boxes for my requirements for an external monitor - the Ultra 5 has the extra function buttons that I would like, but at a much higher price than the Cine 5. Everything works as expected, the touchscreen has been very responsive, accurate, and definitely viewable in direct sunlight. It can get warm after a while, but that’s to be expected. The design is well thought out, with a quiet internal blower fan that blows air through a heatsink, but also spreads the heat to its aluminum chassis. The Page OS is so intuitive and fast, I am never waiting to scroll through the different pages I set up with focus assist, false color and waveform for example. I am not a pro videographer, but I do appreciate all the features that make this monitor easy not navigate and use. The only minor issue I had was a frequent request to register the monitor or skip. After an email with customer service, and a factory reset, all is well now. I did have all my configurations saved to an SD card, so after the reset I reloaded the config file and was up and running. My previous SmallHD DP4 still works, but it’s nice to see the progress that has come to the company’s product line over the years. This is a very nice monitor, and I highly recommend it.

[100% DCI-P3] Having the ability to see what's being shot remotely is such a necessity, pairs great with other 500 bolt systems

[Aluminum] The original focus monitor was a game changer. This opens doors to bigger productions, higher production value, and convenience when working with a gimbal or a crew. It's not cheap, but it levels you up.

[443 ppi] Perfect monitor for a director or attaching to a follow focus

[Yes] I understand SmallHD monitors are not cheap and that filmmaking, in general, is already expensive enough to justify dropping $1500 on a monitor. That being said, the alternative is more expensive in the long run. I originally bought an Atomos Shinobi because of the above reasons, but after terrible experiences with Atomos products, I decided to try SmallHD—and I was blown away by its ease of use and quality.

This monitor offers so many customizable options compared to its competitors that it's difficult to even begin to list them. I've never missed focus using it. Even in low light or super bright conditions, this monitor delivers. Tools are supposed to solve problems, not create more problems that need to be solved. This is an excellent tool for your filmmaking kit.

[Aluminum] I almost didn't buy this monitor because of the negative comments I read here on B&H about the fan noise this monitor has. But I finally decided to trust SmallHD and their reputation, and invest into this monitor... I'm so glad I did. Fan noise IS NOT a problem at all. And I am primarily an ENG style shooter with a shotgun mic mounted to my camera. You can hardly hear it at all. And you definitely DO NOT hear it in a recording. Also the colors are excellent. The images on screen look beautiful. It's super nice having a button on the side, so I don't have to use the touch screen all the time. And there are awesome tools that help me with focusing, luts, framing, and all sorts of things. The build quality feels great. It get's hot when you use it, and it's performed flawlessly for me since I bought it. I am so so so happy with this purchase and highly recommend this monitor. I think the reason there are so many negative reviews on this monitor, is because a few people got a dud, or didn't like something about it... but most people know how good SmallHD is, and most people have heard stories about SmallHD monitors like the 502 bright lasting people 7+ years, so they don't really feel like they need to leave a review. But I feel like I was mislead by the reviews here, this was my first SmallHD monitor, and I thought I'd share my experience. This monitor ROCKS!!!!!
