Portkeys Monitor Not Able To Connect

Unfortunately, the onscreen overlay is right over the overlay on the Z-Cam menu, so it covers it up and makes it hard to work with. I'll probably just end up using it as a normal monitor and not worry so much about the camera controls. It's a nice monitor overall.

For MFR #LH5P II -S there is a "S" which Portkeys does not list as a list. Is this the same model they list as "LH5P II?"
Asked by: Peter
The PORTKEYS LH5P II 5.5" Touchscreen Monitor with Camera Control for Sony a6000/a7/R II/a7S III (B&H# POLH5PIIS) (in other words, with the S), is the specific LH5P II model with firmware designed (and licensed) to work with many Sony hybrid cameras and cinema cameras. The hardware requires that firmware, however, so there is no sort of universal camera control monitor option. The monitor and its camera manufacturer-specific firmware are purchased together only.

As PORTKEYS does not list the PORTKEYS LH5P II 5.5" Touchscreen Monitor with Camera Control for Sony a6000/a7/R II/a7S III as compatible with the Canon EOS R5 C Mirrorless Cinema Camera, it would be highly unlikely that camera control would be possible.
