i ordered an ikan 8000w today directly from ken at the company.i don't know how well it will work with my canon a1,but ken took real good care of me in promising me the high def version of their monitor in a month in a half once its out.the deal was i could return my sd monitor and pay the difference of the high def monitor once available.the hd monitor will only be $799 which is almost half of what marshell is robbing us poor indi filmakers for.so in a nut shell i get a monitor now that flips my image but a high def for an extra few hudred bucks in another month.for me a win win situation.i hope all the ma and pa manufatures will overthrow these highpriced companies like marshall and mini 35 makers.
