    I have the 5” version and I find the best feature is the tally light!!!! It doesn’t show up as red on my monitor but it creates a white box along the border to show that it’s recording and all touch screen/ camera control glory aside, KNOWING that I’m recording from my monitor is so clutch.

    I have this monitor and one of the tings that stood out for me was the fan noise. Though not as loud as the Atomos Ninja, it is there. Another thing, and this might just be my version, but touch focus needs to be initiated on the Sony camera first before it becomes active on the monitor itself.

    I'm currently in the market for a new monitor and I'm between this and the M1 Mars. Although mars also has a terrible interface, it has a built in wireless transceiver that allows phones and tablets to also view the camera so clients and collaborators can also see what the camera is seeing via a downloaded app. However, being able to control my Sony camera from the monitor would also be amazing. Urgh!

    If I have a Canon EOS R10 could the monitor still be used on it at all or just the wireless feature controls can't be used. Ultimately, I like the crop guide to film horizontally with vertical guides for the 9x16. If it can't work with a Canon EOS R10 what other 7-inch external monitor would you recommend with crop guides?

    After using it I would describe it as pretty much useless for users of S-log3, since rather than displaying the actual ISO, it just says "AUTO" rather than giving a numeric value: due to this when the ISO clips below 640, you are completely unaware of it, unless you're staring at the smaller monitor, which completely removes the purpose of this monitor if you're constantly having to check your camera's monitor, especially outdoors. I'm saying unless this problem is fixed in a firmware update its a 100% waste for 10-bit Slog3 users.
