Review on FEELWORLD Monitor Waveform External 1920X1200 by Chad Carter

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good field monitor but too weak for this price, only about 500 nits

They include a full size HDMI to mini HDMI cable, so if you have a full size HDMI port on your Computers have, like I do my GH5S, you will need a different HDMI cable, which I did in the photos of this review. On the back of the monitor, the second battery compartment has been removed and replaced with an NP-F connector. That means you can mount and power devices like a wireless video transmitter or LED light. Be aware that you're draining the battery quickly when powering something like a wireless video transmitter, so I wouldn't use anything other than a full-size NP-F970 battery. They got rid of the usual bracket, used to mount most field monitors in favor of a small cold shoe mount. The mounting hole remains, but a more traditional mount was chosen instead. The only problem here is that the included bracket doesn't have the ARRI-style mounting holes that prevent the monitor from rotating. I have to say that the screw used to attach your camera's cold show mount is good. It's very easy to grab to get a nice tight connection. .They also added a USB-C port that can be used to power the monitor. I could be wrong but I believe this could be the first Feelworld field monitor, which can be powered via a USB-C port. These are the main differences between this particular field monitor and others. on the market. The problem with this field monitor is the screen brightness, which is only about 500 nits. So if you intend to use it outdoors, you definitely need the sun visor that comes with it. Maybe it's just me. But I just don't think you can charge more than $200 for a field monitor with just 500 nits of brightness, even with the dummy built-in battery and the other small differences I mentioned earlier. Recommendation for a Feelworld field monitor and you NEED this dummy NP-F battery slot. It would be better to spend about $50 extra and get the Feelworld Lut7 Pro. It's essentially the same monitor, but with a screen brightness of 2200 nits. If you don't need the dummy NP-F battery,
