    best monitoring solution

    I'm switching to a 5D from a 60D and am trying to figure what my best option is for monitoring. I've never used an on camera monitor and had a loupe that I really only used if I was outdoors and it was really sunny. I've pretty much narrowed it down to:

    Zacuto Z-Finder
    Small DP4
    Small DP6
    a manhattan LCD, I'm not too familiar with their line, but have heard many times that they're a great middle ground in price and quality/features

    My work is pretty evenly split between Narrative/Music videos, event videos, and action sports (BMX, Rally Cars, etc.). Right now, I'm leaning towards one of the Small monitors. The DP6 is looking awfully attractive, but how is it as far as weight/manuverability compared to the DP4?

    Zfinder and a cheap Lilliput if on a budget.

      5.6" TV Logic with waveform is the best I've used for its price point. Even converts HDMI input to HD-SDI output.

        I love my DP-6 personally, but if you do a fair bit of handheld (something I almost never do) the DP-4 might be a better option.

          DP6, DP4, and Zacuto EVF are the best options in my opinion but it still depends on your budget.

            Love my Zacuto EVF but making the switch the full-frame like you, I wish it had red-colored focus peaking. If I were to re-buy a monitoring solution for the 5D, i'd put peaking as the number one priority.

              I might be selling my lilliput monitor. It is brand new, but after the purchase, I think I want the small HD for the build quality.
