Does using an external hdmi monitor save or drain DSLR battery life?

Well-known member
Anyone here notice if battery life is longer or less when using an external monitor for their DSLR camera when shooting video? ie. Canon 5D mark III using a 7inch HDMI external monitor.

If so, how much more or less are you getting by using an external monitor?

Thanks
 
I havent noticed it...I use the Zacuto EVF on every shoot with the Canon 5D3 and I have not noticed an improved battery...I dont think you would see that much of a difference. Besides, Canon batteries are small, easy to change and cheap.. get a few more batteries!! :D
