Hi
Looking for a in-expensive monitor to only view what I am looking at when I have my camera on a crane.
Anything from ebay or amazon you recommend. Would like HDMI input , but it might be cheaper to go with rca input or composite.
I can make it work with my HMC150 and Canon vixia cameras.

So if anyone has any recommendations like a car video player, or monitor they have used, send me a post here.

I assume on the field, you want something small like 7 inches?

Thanks
 
Lilliput is popular. Pick the one that meets your needs. I have the Lilliput 665gl (7") for the jib. The 7" is enough if you can keep close enough to you. I'm going to add a rod that will keep the monitor angled towards me regardless of the angle of the jib. I also have a 13" monitor, but having used the 7" with a closer proximity, I prefer it. I like the 665 because it has an HDMI pass-through, which I find handy when using it with multiple monitors. It comes with 3 battery plates so I can use the same batteries as I use on my LED lights.
