SmallHD DP4 vs DP6

[Lobotany Pictures]

This may have been somewhat covered already (i did search) but this requires a bit more of a personal opinion.

I'm in the market for a external monitor and like the quality of the SmallHD. My budget isn't huge so I was looking at the DP4 (potentially as the EVF) but should I just bite the bullet and go DP6?

I still am pretty small scale still. But here are a few points of interest.

- Don't have anyone hanging over my shoulder looking at my monitor.
- Don't have any batteries lying around that would power the DP4.
- Would the DP4 become redundant sooner?

Any input or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

*More info: I'm using GH2 with Lanparte rig & rails.

I'm using the DP4 and I love it. Would I like a bigger screen - sure. But I often go to jobs by public transport (yes really) with all my gear (camera, tripod, lights,) in one massive sports bag.
So smaller is better.

It's a godsend for focus - especially with the assists. A great bit of kit, I'msure the DP6 is equally well made.

Yes, they are very similar. I guess it depends on how large of a screen you want, plus the ability to turn it into an EVF if so desired.
