Test Desview R7P and Desview R6

This 7 inch monitor exceeded my expectations. Reading the specs I wasn't sure if it could live up to its claims but I was very hopeful. IT really delivered what was said. I particularly like the Focus Assist function. I used to just connect an LED TV to the camera's HDMI output, but that didn't give me the tools to see proper focus, lighting, colors, and more. Build quality was very good and being powered by a D-Tap power bank or Sony NP-F battery is great. I didn't mention in the video that it also has a built-in speaker (along with a headphone jack) for audio monitoring. PLUS, it has on-screen audio levels alongside the battery level indicator and more. The touch screen was another feature that I really liked! When this monitor is connected to a camera or hot shoe adapter, it's nice not having to press buttons to navigate the menus. When I'm recording a live event, I can easily navigate through the menu items to see the different screens and settings. This is a HUGE deal when you're shooting something live and on the fly! Feel free to watch my video for other thoughts I have. I would recommend you try this. With Revain.com there is no risk. I always appreciate it. I'm interested in other products Desview has to offer and will look into them in the near future. DESVIEW R6 REVIEW: I would like to take a moment to review the Desview R6 UHB (Ultra High Brightness – 2800 Nits) HDMI HD Field. Monitor that I recently bought. I have a video production business in Michigan and often have to shoot outdoors in bright sunlight. There are many field monitors on the market (I have several other field monitors) but it can be difficult to get a very bright, high quality, feature rich monitor that is inexpensive. I wanted to say that I am TOTALLY impressed with this field monitor. There are many features I could cover, but I just wanted to focus on a few key features that are critical to me. The first thing I would like to note is the brightness. This Desview RS UHB is amazingly bright! I was in Florida recently and was able to take advantage of this brilliant sunshine on a day when it was almost 90 degrees outside. I was able to see the video on the screen with no problems. I was honestly surprised. It performed way better than I honestly expected, even in direct sunlight. What also impressed me is that this device can automatically adjust the brightness based on the current lighting you're shooting under. This helps extend the device's battery life by reducing brightness in the shade or in low light. This unit also has a built-in fan that can be manually set to Low, Medium, or High - and my favorite is AUTO. It's important to note that the fan is VERY quiet and works great. The next thing I would like to point out is that the touchscreen is VERY easy to use and navigate. Touchscreen responsiveness is better than many other field monitors I've used. I have thumbs and have no problem navigating menu items. I would also like to list a few other key features that I particularly liked. You can use this device with regular NP-F batteries or with a DV adapter for a very long life. I am currently using the NP-F970 and have been able to use it for a very long time. I also like the headphone output, which allows me to control the audio not only with the on-screen audio levels, but also with the headphones. I will be using this field monitor with a live streaming device (ATEM Mini Pro) to monitor video outputs and inputs. This is where the headphone output comes into play. In addition, this device has HDMI input and output, which is very convenient. I also like the top and side 1/4" mounts, which give me the options I need to attach it to my camera, tripod, or any other mount I need (it also comes with a cold shoe adapter and mini and micro HDMI cables supplied). . I would also like to emphasize the viewing angle. It's really impressive! There are times when I need to step away from the camera for a moment or move between cameras for one reason or another and I found the viewing angle of this monitor really impressive! It has many other great features (an SD slot for downloading LUTS and firmware updates, and many settings to control your video recordings. There are many other features to read about in relation to this Desview R6 UHB, but I hope my review Some things that were particularly important to me have come in handy. This is an amazing brightfield monitor with lots of great features - all at an exceptional price. You will NOT be disappointed. This is my honest review.
