Really great to see this! Also i'm glad that it has so many views. It seems like more creative content like this could get featured on YT rather than the all the paid /sponsored content that doesn't look for simple/ creative solutions first. Congrats!

woooow. i was looking for cheap external monitor but never think about using my phone as external monitor! great idea! thanks! 😘
Just picked up one of the cables and capture cards and for the 15 USD including next day shipping i'm definitely happy with the results. Just need to pick up a few more of these capture cards now and see what else I can use them for!
yo, i cant believe the ammount of subs you got compared to the quality video you produce - i cant recall when anyone ever had such a great idea like that, i think this video will skyrocket aswell as your channel - cheers man!!!! +1 sub ;]

It's because it's my idea!
Thank You SOOOO Much Sir!! This will hopefully help me to obtain a sharper focus. I'm tired of missing the mark due to bad eyes. My SL1, I can not rely on the lcd display, nor the viewfinder, for sharp, crisp images due to my issues. This just may be the solution. I have found everything you listed. (3.0) and about to purchase them!! Thank You Sir :)
Saved my life, I have a Nikon D3500 and my vision sucks, this is what I needed. You got a new fan and subscriber.
Thanks. Needed to use my phone as an external monitor because the one on my DSLR is mounted to the back. I got everything up and running with an HTMI to HTMI mini cable and an Inland HDMI to USB-C adapter. It's not the best quality, but it works and shows me whether things are in focus or in frame for overhead shots.
I'm a total beginner to video. Thank you for this!
Hey thanks for this. Did exactly guiding your instruction. Also did the purchase from your links to support your channel. Subscribed too.
Thank you for this set up I have a drag race to live stream in may and this will help alot with my chest mounted camera stabilizer
Thanks for the great review and walkthrough.
I'm a still shooter and I needed a front facing monitor. I was just going to use the native app to see captures on my phone but this might be a better solution for me. Thanks!
Wonderfull, it actually works! I can now very comfortably take videos with my Huawei P40 Pro in all sorts of awkward positions with the help of a selfie stick while seeing what I'm recording on my Pixel 3a. Thanks for this great advice.
Great tutorial! I found this HDMi device and a couple of useful cables lying around. I tried connecting it to my camera Panasonic Lumix G7 and it actually works! Now i just need to find a phone holder. Thanks alot. But i think endoscope HD only saves video without audio. Or maybe i didnt set it up properly.

I know the g7 stop sending hdmi signal when recording, does that happen when you try to record with the phone attached?
Thanks for the content, very helpful!
Incredible. Thanks for sharing. I find the setup perfect and applaud you for creating this detailed video. I am very interested in recording this incoming signal and wanted to ask - do you still recommend this Endoscope app? Any other solutions?
Thanks for the information. I love this tutorial video. It's so informative, and I'm sure it's gonna help me a lot. Amd for the love of your content, I've subscribed to your channel too. 👍🏻 Great job. Keep going.

does it work with shooting videos with the camera?
Wow! I have a GH5 and been struggling with the small flip screen and too broke to buy a proper monitor. Funny thing is I have all the things required on your setup just gathering dust on my cupboard. haha automatic subscribe!
Thank you! Perfect solution, to use my super bright OLED panel from my pocket.
Fabulous, thank you Sir! I was poking around with the assumption SOMEONE would have come out with a simple cable to go from camera to phone/tablet. But nope. At least not that all of us could find. I am wondering though, as you say even this solution has some latency, how much more it is than the wifi solution already available with Lumix cameras? You do mention this comparison quickly. But as the larger monitor is of most value when setting up a shot, framing, and for checking focus, the latency may not be as big a deal as I can look at the small screen while shooting. All good options, though, thanks!
I do satellite TV installations and have long thought it would be handy to be able to use my phone a monitor for a satellite TV receiver. This for situations when a customer does not yet have a tv in the room where they want a receiver which actually is quite common with movers. Sounds like this might be just the ticket.

At first i was gonna buy a cheap lcd screen, make a cutout in my computer case, bolt it down etc.. but it's disgusting, great we have solutions.. else i'd have had to create a script that automatically starts broadcasting the video on wifi and catch it on my phone, but i'm sure i'd have had to change the setup every use.. superb video
I have an old Kindle Fire (like really old: the one that still had the 400ppi screen) that this is perfect for. Cheers!
Thank you so much man!!!! Helped me a lot!!!
you just saved me a tonne of money. thanks!

You're the best - brilliant idea!
fantatic - going to try it on an android tablet that spare for my atem mini pro monitor system
I have that video capture card. It may do well for this purpose, but with raw YUV, it really gets bottlenecked by the USB 2.0 connection. The MJPEG option used most commonly also has stuttering problems when there's so much motion - it saturated my USB bandwidth trying to record a high-action video game. If you need something less...laggy, look for a USB3.0 capture card.

Jittery movement/Latency": Your video is just what I was looking for as I try to setup my Galaxy Note 8 Android phone to monitor my Panasonic GH3 on the new Weebill-S gimbal. I already had cables, a new 4K Cam Link capture unit and Samsung's own OTG adapter that came with the camera, so I thought I would be all set. The problem is that when I monitor the camera on the phone the view is very jittery with bad latency and would be unusable. I am testing with the Endoscope app that you suggested with the intention of buying a paid version if it worked well. Do you have any thoughts on why this latency would be happening? Could it be the app itself or some settings that I might be missing on either the phone or the camera? Any tips would be greatly appreciated as this seemed like a great solution for use with my new gimbal that is arriving tomorrow. Thanks for sharing these great tips with the KZread community!
Freakin genius! I’ve got an old tablet knocking around. Will give it a go with that. Can’t use my phone as I use it with my parrot teleprompter
Wow, thanks for this video.
fantastic idea. I've got a Nikon D3400 with no flip out monitor but now I know I could use it as a vlog kit or I can use it as an external monitor for larger viewing range. Thanks!

That's one of the thing I was thinking about. There's millions of great quality display screens out there just waiting to be recycled and if you can open that converter and mount it on the board, you'd have something for cheap.
My panasonic lumix do it over Wifi/BT connection! The quality is not the same for sure! But its a good beginer combination! And of course i have no latency full control over the settings! IDK maybe other companies do the same! Try it.
Hey!! Soo many doubts sir!!! I've got a hdmi elgato but it works only on 3.0 and sadly otg that I own its an 2.0. Was thinking to buy an otg 3.0 but i didnt found it with the normal android female charguer hole, just found it with usb C so.... Wich way could i go, should I buy your capture with 2.0 using my 2.0 otg cable? Wich should be the proper way to use my ElGato camlink. Congrats for the video, very very usefull!!!!! And thnks a lot.
Great video. Regarding the capture card, is there a specific reason, why usb 2.0 and the 3.0 card?

Nice video!
does it accept other audio input like the audio jack in the phone or is it just the HDMI source? I really want to know if we can use the phone as an easy mixer for the cameras that don't have an audio in jack
Interesting. I'm doing a lot of fiddling around, and have lots of alternative equipment, one good-enough Android with a reasonable screen and reasonable memory, one getting-on-a-bit-now Android with an amazing screen and lots of memory, a Linux box, an HMDI signal source, that HDMI/USB converter, and a dodgy-looking OTG cable which might just be a normal USB lead. So the lead could be a weak link, and it won't work with the new phone. It does work with Cheese on Linux, used for testing webcam feeds, which are much the same thing. So maybe I can test my phone software (and cable) with the webcam.
@robinhodson9890

Update: USB webcams can indeed provide a ready test feed, although all feeds are not created equal, and results will likely vary with varying feeds. I tried an OTG Hub instead of the recommended cable at first, and although it detects and identifies the webcam feed, it surprisingly doesn't have the bandwidth for the actual feed data. The recommended cable fixes that issue.
Thank you...
im using my canon 6d for astrophotography on A SKY WATCHER az gti mount and there is no flip screen on the camera so this is going to help me a lot
It works good on my android tablet in combination with a Sony A7III but, as you mentioned, a little bit of latency. I can connect the camera with usb c directly to my laptop with sony software but sony refuse to make make an app for phones that works the same way. The standard sony app works wireless with wifi direct but is useless because of terrible latency. Sony advised me to by one of their field monitors and ensured me ther is no way to make a wired connection to a phone. This appeared obviously not true. ThAnks for your tip. Now I'm waiting for the perfect app.

Hi, is it possible to tell me what equipment to buy for vloging but the cheapest way please. Thx.
Thats aw3some!
Do you know which is the state of the art app tu use for livestreaming the hdmi-captured video to youtube, instagram and facebook? One time payment would be perfect - I do not like continuous payments for apps... (CameraFi live does the job, but for 1080p you have to pay monthly... so that´s a no go for me).
@NEON AIRSHIP What you're demonstrating here may just save me. I think I heard you mention that this can work with a phone that doesn't have USB-C, is that correct? I have a Samsung Galaxy 6 which has a mini usb port. Will you please let me know what I need to accomplish what you have done except on my phone? If I have to I will upgrade phones but I was hoping to use the one I have. I also have an IPhone S6 but I know you mentioned you haven't tried on Apple devices. Thank you so much for sharing this.

fyi my use case for your hack is for an Ordo Head Cam which I want to stream from. The phone broadcasts wifi which you can connect to with a phone, but then I lose my internet connection and can't stream. It has a micro HDMI output so I am hoping to feed the video to my phone and stream from it. Thanks a lot. I hope it works on my Samsung Galaxy 6. I just order an HDMI Capture Card HDMI to USB 2.0, Micro USB 2.0 OTG Adapter, and a Micro HDMI to HDMI chord. Am I missing anything? Thanks again.
Great channel
A better capture card will have less latency? if yes can you recommend one for me?
Will this work if you want to live stream from your phones cellular data but used the Dslr for your visuals?
The idea that you can use a phone as a monitor is actually so big brain - I may be wasting tons of time tweaking an edit that won't be noticeable on such a device.
