SmallHD CINE 5 Reviews

Wonderful Monitor!

Rated 5 out of 5

I have been using other monitors for some years now, but this one seams to just put that YES into it. lol. The screen is very nice and bright and it's easy to navigate through the menus.

SmallHD charges what they charge because no one else makes what they make. The display brightness, quality is great, but can be replicated by other cheaper options, what you are paying for however, is usability. This is the most useable and well thought out monitor I have ever used. It genuinely speeds up my production workflow, and that to me is worth the cost.

Is this compatible with the Canon C70?
Asked by: Boruan
Yes, the SmallHD CINE 5 Touchscreen On-Camera Monitor can accept an HDMI output from the Canon EOS C70 Cinema Camera (RF Mount). Please note that the Cine 7 can only accept up to a 1080p60 signal and so the output of the C70 may need to be adjusted to output at that resolution.
