Compact and featuring a Full HD 1920 x 1080 display, high contrast, and histogram and other confidence tools, ikan's DH5 5" HDMI Monitor is an excellent fit for handheld applications with mirrorless and DSLR cameras. It has an HDMI input and output and a headphone output and audio meters for sound monitoring. The contrast ratio is 1000:1, providing for a sharp image, and brightness is a relatively high 450 nit. Moreover, the LED backlight intensity and color temperature can be adjusted and fine-tuned to varying conditions. This monitor is also very thin at just 0.7", and very lightweight at 3.2 oz, making it even more attractive for handheld productions as well as keeping it in your bag with your camera at all times. Yet despite its compact size, it's equally suitable for all other camera sizes and applications, especially considering its Full HD display.
The DH5 comes with a Canon LPE6 and a Sony L Series battery plate, which are quickly interchangeable by snap-on attachment/detachment. It also includes a sunhood and an AC adapter for continuous power. Confidence monitoring features include the common Peaking, False Color, and Zebra, and the not-as-common Histogram and Audio Wave (audio meters).
