On-Camera Monitor Solutions for HVX200

[lboyce]

I'm needing to buy a monitor for my HVX and I was wondering what the best solution would be in this market. I would prefer to have it on-camera (so, like, a 7" something or other), and if at all possible have image-flip capabilities for my Micro35. Can you use any TFT, LCD monitor with the HVX for HD monitoring? Or do you have to get a bigger standalone HD monitor?

If someone would be able to give me some solutions, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

That's pretty much what I was looking for. Although, does anybody know if there's one similar that has image flip so I could use it with my adapter, or if not, does anybody know how you mount one of these mobile monitors upside down or something?

another question...I noticed the monitor only has BNC outputs. Can I just use a regular bnc to rca adapter for component cables? Excuse the idiocy, I'm not used to working with HD.

From what I've read, the Marshall comes with a mounting plate that can attach to any edge of the monitor,
so you can mount it upside down.
The plate is mentioned in the bullet points here.

And yes, you can use regular RCA-to-BNC adapters.

If you're in LA, go to EVS. They have one on their HVX200 rental, you can check out.

That would be awesome, but unfortunetely I'm a bit far from L.A., I'm all the way over in Chicago.

This may seem like a silly question, but what is the drawback in using a high quality SD monitor, besides not being the native resolution.

My buddy bought the Marshall. Great monitor and really solid.. built to be utilized for sure.

He also mounted it to the screw mount on the top of the camera... Really looks great. I think for image flip.. you would have to flip the monitor physically

My guess would be critical focusing. But I've never tried that, so I don't know for sure.

This one is less expensive, but I think it's SD only:
