Damn near perfect: my feedback

The monitor itself is amazing. Really bright, great functionality, and having 7 function buttons is awesome. It's lightweight/plastic while still feeling solid. It has all the ports you'd need and the mount is almost perfect. As far as the grip between the mount and the monitor, it's been better than the Smallrig metal mounts. I love that it spins at the top and not the base! My only complaint is that you can't get the shoe tight enough, and if you do, good luck taking it back off. I took off the metal shoe piece to try and swap out the tightening disc with a stronger one, but it's held on by a hilariously small screw, it works, but you can't really fix it unless you 3d print a new part. If they made a pro version of this mount with sturdy but lightweight aluminum with a better tightening disc, I'd buy it in an instant because it really is damn near perfect aside from that one major flaw. If you do decide to make a pro version, being able to rotate at both the base and the top would be great!2 other downsides I've found is there's no horizontal screen flip option, and it doesn't show the status of both batteries. It's just one combined readout, so there's no way to tell which battery needs replaced.Update: Died in less than a year with light use. Too expensive to ship back to have repaired.
