Is there a cage and sun hood kit for this monitor?
Asked by: Chris
The SmallHD ULTRA 5 Bright Touchscreen Monitor (B&H# SM160527) does not come with a sun hood, but one we will be selling is the SmallHD Sun Hood for ULTRA 5 Monitor (B&H# SM171231, https://bhpho.to/3GUJxJh). As for a cage, you could use the CAMVATE Adjustable-Height Monitor Cage Kit with Handgrips for 7-10" Monitor (B&H# CAC2765): https://bhpho.to/3GwYKyK

Can this monitor be powered off a Tiffen M2 ...

Can this monitor be powered off a Tiffen M2 Steadicam sled since it has a lemo? Anybody do that? Thanks.
Asked by: Mark
The Steadicam M2 Top stage uses 3-pin LEMO connectors for accessory power and the SmallHD ULTRA 5 Bright Touchscreen Monitor uses 2-pin LEMO for power input, so the Steadicam M2 cannot be used to power the monitor.
