    I'd suggest to Sony to create an actual monitor - something like the Atomos Shinobi - and make it integrate seamlessly with their cameras, i.e. allowing camera control through the monitor. It will fly off the shelves!

    Or maybe just create an API so it could be integrated into(any monitor)like the Ninja V or Shinobi lineup through HDMI. The DJI transmission system kinda reverse engineered it and you can do it with their monitor wirelessly, but its really expensive. Even a collab/partnership with Atomos and SmallHD would be awesome.

    Yeah, I’ve always found it funny that Sony never really got into the on camera monitor market, considering the fact their monitors are the standard when it comes to post production. I also believe their monitors would fly off the shelves. Small HD Needs more competition, not really a fan of the Atomos stuff anymore.

    HI I currently shoot with an older Xt3 and im looking to upgrade. Im trying to decide between 2 full frame cameras. The new Lumix s5iix or the older Sony A7siii. My use case is video only and im currently focused on realestate videos and some weddings, client work ect. My main concern is for filming real estate in 4k60. What would look better a7siii 4k60 or the lumix s5ii 4k60 cropped? Most high end videographers in the real estate industry use a7siii. Taking everything into account, noise, low light, Dynamic range, image quality ect which is better. My goal to get the best quality 4k 60 video. Thank you

    Once again fx9 is left out, I used Fx9 at work and it makes no sense that we would have to buy a $3000 attachment on the back of the camera to get raw output but the fx6, fx3, fx30 a7siii can all do raw output from the start. Spend $10,000 on a camera and have less features than cameras much less.

    Just tried it with FX6 s…can’t use it to focus (image on screen is very soft), no peaking, no waveform, no zebras nor histogram. It’s good for setting custom buttons and starting stopping recording. Wireless is slow. Connecting to multiple cameras is only possible when wired, but only on FX6. @Sony make a real monitor with full control and SDI connections… we’d definitely buy it!

    Sony does such a brutal job with these apps.

I can connect with my FX30 with an intermittent connection (so basically useless), and of course only FX series cameras work. Back to my third party app I go!
