I really like my 24" samsumg LCD 1080p. $250 bucks, pretty lightweight. I set it up on a cstand with a 30 foot hdmi cable. The director loves being able to see the footage asap. Without it there is no way I could get the rack focus right while I dolly. 640x480 isn't enough.
I didn't have it on a shoot and totally missed focus on some shots. footage at 11 @ www.ochermedia.com
There's a long thread on it at cinema5D.I'm building a kit that will fit in a backpack/roller carryon and a 24" is out of the question. Anybody used the 7" Lilliput?
keep in mind....if you use the HDMI port and try to record audio to the camera, you will record noise. I've tested this in two 7d and same result.
