Does this monitor work OK with the BMPCC4k or GH5 at 4k 50P or does down res to HD get around this limitation in the specs?
Asked by: Peter
The native resolution of the monitor is 800x480 so it definitely does down-res a 4K signal to show on the display but I have no issues outputting a DCI 4K signal from my GH5s to view on this ikan monitor. I wouldn't rely on it for critical focusing - use your camera's peaking or focus assist functions for that - but it does provide a decent view for framing up shots and monitoring the video signal. I use it with my stabilizers so I have a better view of what I'm shooting than what the screen on the back of the camera is showing, which is often obscured. Very light, quite reliable after about 3 months of use and pretty long-lasting on one battery.

I want to use this with an iPad - when the iPad is held vertical the images rotates on the iPad. Will this also rotate on the monitor???
Asked by: Mark
That actually depends on the iPad and its capabilities, not the monitor itself. However iPads in general will send out the video through HDMI in the orientation it is currently showing on the screen.

question

Has anyone found a good loupe for this other than Ikan's loupe which I have heard repeatedly is poorly designed?
Asked by: Adam
The Kinotehnik loupe that you can find on B&H is a superior loupe and the magnetic bracket it comes with fits the VL35 perfectly.

Hi, the focus peaking only work on black and white ? It is possible to see the red pixel (on focus) on color screen ? Thanks
Asked by: Jean Patrick
According to ikan, The VL35 is equipped with Monochrome Peaking features which highlight the desired focus area in a bright, red outline. So monochrome only, on this model.

Can I put a Sony battery plate it?
Asked by: Ruben G.
Yes you can. While the VL35 comes with an LP-E6 plate, you can purchase B&H # IKBP5S to go along with it. This is a Sony L style battery plate.https://bhpho.to/2gqKtrP
