SmallHD Cine 7 Reviews

nice monitor but difficult to connect to Red Camera Control

By Clarence

Date: 2026-04-10

The monitor will not connect to Red Camera Control. Since you can operate the menu for Komodo on the body, I would go with a different monitor with SDI input.

Purchased on flash deal- great for my gimbal work

I have one particular client for whom I shoot Alexa Mini on the MoVI Pro and have to pull my own focus. I was looking for a 7 monitor and the Cine 7 came up on a flash sale. I can see focus well and with a hood it's bright enough for exteriors. Using the touch screen to control camera functions allows me to adjust ND, ISO, frame rate, etc. and look at playback without connecting a viewfinder. It does take a bit of time to learn the functions, but worth it.

Asked by: Edward
The SmallHD Cine 7 does have a Crosshatch tool that can put a number of horizontal and vertical lines from 2x2 to 9x9 grids. You could also use a custom aspect ratio overlay for this purpose. https://guide.smallhd.com/m/cine7

Cine 7 will not do any of this. The only monitors that will do PQ are the production monitors and the 503U and 703U.
