Pretty Good On-Camera Monitor

By Richard
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2024-01-22

I haven't had a chance to use the Portrays LH5P II monitor outside in bright light yet but overall it seems like a nice product so far. Most of the models were backordered so I got the one that will control a Tilta Nucleus-N/M, which I don't have. My camera is a Leica SL2-S and unfortunately none of the Portkeys models will control it. Because of the Leica fixed LCD screen position I was mainly needing a monitor with a good bright picture for shooting which I think describes this model. The menu is a challenge to learn with the touch screen swiping right and left but there are several Youtube videos to help. Inexplicably the monitor comes with a Display Gamut enabled which doesn't look good with the Leica LUT I use out of camera. It was only by accident that I saw a Youtube that explains how to bypass the Display Gamut setting so the monitor matches what comes out of the camera with HDMI. Overall though seems like a good monitor that I'm happy to use if you don't mind looking under the hood to figure out how to set it up.

Asked by: Jake
Yes It should. While the Canon R5C is not listed on the tested list we believe it would work as the Canon R6, R5 and EOS R cameras do with USB-C connection. See this compatibility chart. https://bit.ly/3XfWClu

Asked by: Zak
Portkeys has not added the Panasonic GH7 to their compatibly list. However, the GH5 and GH6 are on the list. Portkeys has indicated that the GH7 will also be controllable via USB-C.

Any Portkeys monitor for full menu control on the Z Cam E2 F6 Pro?
Asked by: Hayk
Portkey monitors like the PORTKEYS LH5P II 5.5" Touchscreen Monitor with Camera Control for ZCAM E2-F6/S6 were not tested yet with the Z CAM E2-F6 Pro Full-Frame Cinema Camera with 5" Touchscreen Monitor (Canon EF) for complete menu control. It will likely follow control like the Z CAM E2-F6 Full-Frame 6K Cinema Camera (EF Mount), but clarification will come when the camera is widely distributed in the field.
