  Hmm… i believe it is possible to connect your 5Dmk2 to a computer and view live-view mode from it… i believe it just requires installing the Canon EOS software onto your laptop:

  There’s also a way to use your ipad or iphone as a monitor as well:

  But there’s a lag from real-time and what’s showing up on your monitor.

  Hope this helps?
