PORTKEYS LH7C Reviews

Great GH7 Monitor and Remote Control

By Russell
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-06-07

I now have three, each attached to a GH7 in my studio. The latest firmware automatically attached to the GH7. An earlier version did, but the process was not automatic. I did a lot of testing to get all three cameras and monitors in sync, not an easy task given the complexity of the GH7 menus. The impeccable autofocus of the GH7 has made a huge change of my work routines. Adding a 7" touch screen monitor with all the scopes I use is a big part of the update. Using the touch focus control on the ProtKeys monitor is a game changer. Touch an object on the Portkeys screen, a box appears, and if you have focus peaking turned on, focus is nearly instant. A 7" monitor with an integrated sun screen on a studio camera is a perfect setup. Add touch screen control of all the camera settings on the PortKeys monitor means I am never touching the camera. I became aware of a few other technical gains. I use constant aperture Panasonic zoom lenses exclusively that integrate with the GH7 body. The autofocus of this Panasonic combination has essentially converted these into parfocal zooms. Ponder this for a moment. Add to that touchscreen autofocus selection and you can get rid of your focus lens motors. I moved the dial setting on my Nucleus NII's from the focus motor to the zoom motor. At times one of my cameras is on a crane mounted RS4 Pro. So, I tested the PortKeys monitor with both HDMI and USB-C extension cables. No problem, the monitor flawlessly controlled the camera. . So, the crane operator has touch screen control of the camera the could be 18' away. The HDMI output fed to a DJI SDR Transmitter to get the image to the video village as well. All is good and i have a level of remote control I have struggled to attain for years.

I run a gh7 on a dJI ronin 4 pro with a DJI SCR transmitter/reciever and a DJI tracking module on the Ronin. How will this monitor integrate into that rig?
Asked by: Russell
The PORTKEYS LH7C 7" High-Brightness Touchscreen Monitor with Sunshade can be mounted to any NATO rail or 1/4"-20 mounting point on the gimbal or any accessories you might own. As for cabling, you will run HDMI to the monitor from the camera, then out of the monitor to your transmitter.
