Using iPad as DSLR monitor

[Tommy David]

I have two monitors, a 100 dollar lilliput and a 900 dollar Manhattan monitor. The lilliput is my preference. The expensive monitor has higher resolution but it’s heavier and you can’t see it from all angles. You have to be starring right in front of it. The cheaper monitors like the lilliput use Canon or Sony batteries so you can get a bunch of off brand ones for cheap and the monitor weighs hardly nothing. The resolution isn’t as high but you don’t really need it to be over 1080p on a small screen like that. My lilliput isn’t even 1080p, I forget what it is, but I can pull focus and see everything very clearly.

Thanks, Tommy. I’ll look into the Lilliput. What size are you using? If it really weighs that little, I’ll rig up an adapter to hang it off to the side of the camera.
