Actually just picked up the monitor from the Brooklyn location...was cheaper if you pay cash.

The monitor works well for focusing and composition with the hpx-170.

Hi, is it you, who bought it from Sigma4Less, and now wants to return it?
David told me about it, and I'd like to know what reason do you have?

I've got one for myself, to use with Canon 5D Mark II, and try it, but with video-cable, ( I don't have HDMI cable yet) , but I hope it will be even better....

Actually 5D2 in RECORD-mode gives us only 480i resolution, not 1080, but seems OK for focusing...

After waiting a few weeks to see what the SmallHD pricing would actually be and then a couple of days ago seeing Ikan drop the price of their V8000HDMI by $200 down to $795 (further discounted at major online retailers) I finally made the decison tonight after reading a lot of this thread to take the plunge and order the Manhattan "A" 8.9".

I was so excited by checkout I opted for the two day Fed Ex to get it here a little faster!

Just so John knows what pushed me to go ahead an purchase now was his post offering the $20 off that expires tonight. Every little bit helps.

I like the idea of helping a small company grow and just experienced for myself the great customer service that I have read about on this thread. I called the phone number listed in John's posts to ask a question about the Tekkeon MP3450i vs the MP3450. I fully expected to get an answering machine as it is night time but John answered the phone himself and kindly spent a few minutes educating me. Made me even gladder I made the decision to purchase.

Now only if I had remembered to ask him when those Sony battery plates are going to come out! (maybe he will see this and post an update).
 
We are offering a new coupon for dvxuser people, Free Fedex 2 Day Air, 48 States Only, Good untill end of month.

Johnzo,

Any date yet on when the Sony battery adapter plates will be available and how much they will cost?
 
Notland, we are in testing stage for the 7.2/12v adapter. Looking at 8-10 weeks before it starts shipping. At that time it will become available through Manhattan as an option for ordering. It will be probably priced in the ~ $100-$120 range.

Does this include the version for the Panasonic battery? I'll be in NY from May 17 till Jun 3 and I had hoped to buy one.
 
It sure will have Panasonic, Canon and Sony configurations. But I am afraid it will not be available soon enough for you to pick up.
 
adolgin,

I am going to try and hold out for the Sony battery plate. I have one outdoor wedding in a couple of weeks so I have to make sure there is a AC outlet there. If not I will have to go ahead and get the Tekkeon MP3450i.
 
Will 9 volts do?

Will 9 volts do?

Hi!

I was just wondering if it is ok to feed monitor (8,9") with 9 volts from tekkeon 3450 since it seems to be working ok?
 
9 volts does work for some reason but the controller's spec says it requires 12v dc, 9v may cause some instability issues but it should not damage anything.
 
I took a few pics of my setup: Manhattan LCD, ProAim FollowFocus with everything..

The only problem I see so far - monitor HDMI controller don't work properly with 1920X1080 resolution, so - in Zoom-mode, preview looks ugly.. till I press the Set-button..
5D2 in recording show 720 X 480 resolution, so, ... the image fit screen perfectly..
I'd like to have preview in monitor to fit entire screen, when camera not start recording yet..
I hope the "Monhattan LCD" will make new firmware, which can fix this...

Serge, nice pictures.

There is nothing wrong with the firmware of the controller, if you want 1920*1080 to show up properly you need to set the monitor to anaphormic which is 16:9, instead of "zoom". The "zoom" is not a standard aspect ratio thus why it does not look correct.
 
Sucks for me right now. I have the monitor and the Tekkeon Battery and can't use the damn thing because I don't have way to mount it anywhere. Next week I will buy a noga arm or the micro mount to attach it to my redrock shoulder mount. I have not even calibrated it yet.
