SmallHD INDIE 5 Reviews

Pretty Good.

By John
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2026-03-10

I'm an owner operator of C300 Mark iii and have had a small company for 20 years, the Best monitor I've used is a Video Devices Pix-e 5, 10 years ago it was $1400 It's a beast with everything I need, however, they discontinued them. I have an Atomos Shinobi ll , a Mars M1Enhanced and a cheap OSEE for my Canon R1 and those don't really do it for me. My Pix E5 needed to be serviced and it costs $795 to make it like new but before I sent it in for service, I happened to check the Small HD Indie on B&H and it was on sale for $799 in which case I sprung for a new monitor instead of a 10 yr old Pix e5. The Small HD Indie is Good build quality and once I learned the OS (it took some time) I liked it. The EL Zone feature is great for skin tones better than False Color which was never great for me. The Indie 5 is customizable so I can have as many pages as you like. I use just 3 pages of tools with a swipe of the finger.I also like that the sdi ports and power are at the bottom of the monitor. At $1300 I probably wouldn't have bought it, but at $799 it was well worth it. (It's currently $850 I think) FYI when I first opened the new package and tried to update the firmware with the SD card slot, the spring was broken and I had to manually hold in the SD card. So I returned it and B&H sent out another. Customer service at Small HD is not quick on email, but they do respond. If you are tired of plastic monitors get into the Small HD Eco system, although I doubt I will be dropping $400 for their Camera control software. That being said you do get what you pay for in this business of ours. I don't always review products but thought I'd be thorough in case anyone who has a small company like me is interested in High End Camera Monitors. Because at our level if you invest in something it better last and be worth the investment.

A near perfect on-board monitor, with two big flaws

By Alex
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2024-08-15

PROS: Generally speaking, the build quality is fantastic, and probably the main reason to get this monitor. The OS for SmallHD is also great and intuitive. The newly included cine ei method of using false color is very useful as well. CONS: Sadly, the screen only being 1000 nits makes it very dull in sunlight. I wish they had made it 1500 or so. Even with a sun hood, it's tough to use for critical focus. the other big flaw is the back plate where the batteries are mounted is made of a cheap feeling plastic, as opposed to the rest of the body which feels made of premium materials. The last con, which isn't unique to this model so I'd say im use to it with my other smallhd monitors is just how hot they get. The metal body gets very hot to the touch, and if you forget and put your whole hand on it, it'll give you a nice burn.

Differences with cine 5?
Asked by: Carlos
When comparing the SmallHD CIne 5 with the Indie 5 using the B&H item comparison tool, I can see that the Indie 5 has half the brightness (1000 nits compared to 2000 nits). The indie is powered with a 10VDC barrel and the Cine with an industry standard 2 pin LEMO input,.The Indie has Micro-USB for firmware updates and Cine 5 has a 5-pin LEMO. The Indie has SingleSlot:SD/SDHC/SDXC and the Cine 5 does not.
