External monitor for 5DmkII ?

[Eric Papa]

Any models with an HDMI input?

Eric get on over the the cinema 5d forum, this is covered quite a bit =]

The 5dmkII has a HMDI output, but unfortunately it reverts to VGA resolution while recording. Not enough horsepower to record, compress, and output full-resolution at the same time.

I know it works with my SD steadicam pilot monitor - by you cant focus without zooming (ie prefocus check only)

I'm interested in the Ikan 5.6" model, but don't think it is on the streets yet.

I would get this Marshall with Peaking Filter

Expensive!

I wonder if it's worth it?

Have you used one yet?

I have Peaking Filter/Focus assist on my JVC HD...it does help in studio situations

 

[Eric Papa]

Yes I'll check out the 5D forum!

The reason I was asking is because I get these emails from Digital Juice. Right now they have a special where they are selling the ikan V8000HDe for $545, normally $795 it says...

So even though the hdmi downconverts slightly, would the workflow be getting the ikan, and finding an HDMI to component cable and hoping for good resolution still?

Looks good in terms of price compared to the Marshall and iKan but $150 for a battery seems steep.

I would rather spend $150 on a battery set-up that last hours and I can use it for just about everything, than batteries for $75 that only work for my monitor and nothing else (and don't last as long).

I traveled last year with the Ikan and shot with the Canon XH-A1. Ikan was sony batteries, which I had two, but that was all they supported.

I didn't know much about that battery. You can use it to power other things? How?

For me its absolutly Ok for 1. focussing, 2.contrast and 3.colour (so lala)
