FieldMonitor

I really love the app. Big screen. Almost instant video feedback. The only problem is that the display isn’t clear enough. Hoping the dev will find a way to increase the display clarity. Enough to see which subject in focused.

It didn’t work for my cámara I want my money back 🥲

Life saver. Panasonic doesn’t offer external monitor support on the G7 and their official app doesn’t offer full screen monitoring (why???). You could shell out $300 for an atomos recorder (more than I paid for the camera body), or you could spend $20 on this very capable app. It’s surprising usable. I’m not sure if you could rely on this for super professional work, but for my use case it does the job. It seems like the developer maintains the app fairly well, so hopefully this can be a good long term solution for me. Keep up the good work!

Testing iPad 2 and iPhone 13. I tried messaging will have to email, but I was trying to run both off of one camera. I am also still inquiring over black magic? (GH4 GH5 BMPCC4 cams I use)

Is it suppose to be so blurry, and laggy i have a 13 pro so it cant be my phone 😩

Recent update broke support for my Sony X70 cams, app is useless to me now, very disappointed.

I recently downloaded field monitor to get a feel for using a monitor for the first time. I am currently shopping for a professional grade one like a ninja v. It’s been a great tool for me to learn to use things like false color and some of the focus checking modes. I truly believe you can improve your focus capabilities and your ability to get accurate exposure and the tools that this app provide far exceed what is available on my Sony A7rii. One huge draw back is that you cannot use Sony picture profiles while using this field monitor. The limitation here keeps me from being able to use this for any legitimate work as I choose log profiles for almost all my work. I do want to point out that this limitation is not the developers fault but instead Sony’s. I believe Sony cameras only give the remote capabilities they have baked into their native app and this app basically has to piggy back off each camera manufacturer’s current technology. If you’re someone who doesn’t use picture profiles, this is a great app and even though I can’t use this for professional work, it’s been a great learning tool for me.

Basically just wanted to be able to preview the images after I take them on my iPad, emailed the developer to make sure this would work and they responded promptly that as long as the camera shows a preview it will mirror to the app. However, using a sony a7ii it only shows “Capturing image” on the app and then goes away after the image preview is gone from the app. Edit: Adam was very helpful and apologized for the incorrect info and was willing to give me a refund. I declined as I felt it was unnecessary. He reached out a second time and was insistent on making it right. Honestly a really standup guy. Deserves more than five stars because of how great Adam has been.

My Sony is set up for back-button focus. The instructions say I must have AF w/shutter turned on. This prevents back-button focus from working. Other that that the app works as advertised.

I really love this thing for the gh5. Our HDMI port broke so I couldn’t use my SmallHD monitor, but this app solved the issue AND gave me easy access to change settings and record, much like RED’s touchscreen monitors. The ONLY thing I wish this had was a way to daisy chain the feed, so I can use my phone on the camera but I can also send a feed to a field monitor for clients or remote operator. If this was added to the app for multiple devices to be connected, and maybe a “client” version that hid all controls, this would get even more than 5 stars if I could!
