I would suggest the 702 touch or the Cine 7 with Red control. It’s waaay more versatile than that DSMC3 monitor. Both the 702 touch and the Cine 7 have the same OS as the DSMC 3 monitor because they are all made by Small HD.

Beautiful rig, man. In my opinion I wouldn’t use a left handle (I’m right handed), cause I like to use my left hand to control the lens, but all the rest was great. One of the most beautiful advantages of RED is that app, so you don’t have to buy an expensive monitor (mostly at the beginning), but yeah, as you said, that monitor (the one from the Raptor-cable less) is a beauty. Expensive, but a beauty. Thanks. Happy to be part of your gang now 🙏
