Unboxing and Setting Up a Budget Field Monitor - The Feelworld FW568 5.5" 1080P Monitor
Ойын-сауық
I've been pondering picking up a field monitor / external monitor for filming for a little while. I wanted something small enough I could use out and about, as well as being worthwhile having over the viewfinder screen!
I didn't want to spend tonnes of money on something I might hardly use, so I plumped for the 'budget' end of the market. The Feelworld FW568 5.5" 1080P Monitor (UK - amzn.to/37IPKpy / USA - amzn.to/3sqU3xB) seemed to tick those boxes.
In this video I unpack it, navigate through some of the menus, and test it out with my Canon M50 Camera.
As well as being battery powered, you CAN power it from a 5v 2A USB Power supply by using this - (UK - amzn.to/3dHOxTj / USA - amzn.to/3sssunC)

I have this monitor. If feels cheap, lacks vector scope BUT, my god it looks so damn good and has all the features a beginner will need. It makes a huge difference if you love to focus manually.

The V2 has vectorscope, and you can import LUTs too!
I'd never heard of a field monitor before seeing this video. I love how your videos are educational while being entertaining 😊

Ahh thanks Bobbi! I try to make my boring nonsense at least SEMI watchable. 😂
I just got this monitor. I like it so far!
“That’s what she said” joke killed me 😂 Well done mate, nice unboxing and review, i will probably buy this monitor and give it a shot because it is low budget and seems pretty good for the price of 130$😎
Another great video. You really lucked out with that gadget, considering you weren't holding out much hope for it. Look forward to the content you'll be able to film once lockdown has eased.

What battery does this monitor take ??
Nice video... Can u suggest me which battery should i purchase can u please send me the link...so that I can purchase the right one
Does the HDMI out put work on this item? I bought it specifically for that feature. Anyone?
Could you provide the battery link? Thanks
Great video cheers. Just to confirm the “v flip” is a mirroring what the camera sees? Cheers.

Yeah. It is just for the output on the monitor, doesn't change what the camera records.

I'm having an issue with this monitor, or my camera and im not sure which. I plug it into my Nikon D3400 just like you plugged it in and the screen on my Nikon goes black and the monitor doesnt give me any options but PLAY or SLIDESHOW and it lets me view the photos/videos I've already taken. Doesn't work as an external monitor whatsoever. I've gone through settings in the camera and the monitor to try to find something and I cannot figure it out. The D pad on the camera controls the stuff on the monitor so clearly they're communicating. I try to hit the Live View button on my camera, doesn't do anything. Cant take pictures with the camera while the monitor is on.

Excellent presentation sir. I do have a question, I am a DSLR shooter (no video) and need something a bit better to see my images than my backscreen (Nikon D700) Would this be a viable option for that. (Let's face it my eyes are getting old!)

Oh absolutely buddy! The Focus Assist is helpful too!
I hooked the passthrough to one of the inputs on my ATEM mini and it only feeds static to my ATEM. The image on the screen looks good though.

@@skeanetubes nope. Upon further testing I can't even passthrough to anything. I'm guessing it's a quality control issue on their cheaper monitors.
Good review. Does focus peaking works with cameras without native peaking ? (Canon 6dM2) Thank you 😊

Wait Im a bit confused. How did you activate the sound? I purchased one because of this review but my audio doesnt seem to be working.

I don't think I needed to do anything to activate it, if there is audio coming through the HDMI connector then it should be heard through the headphone socket on the monitor.

How do you set it up to play video while you're recording, kind of like a mirror so I can see where I focus

I don't really understand the question... You just plug it into the HDMI output of the camera and it shows the shot live.
I use this for selfies on my sony a6000 because it doesn't have a flip screen lol.
