Description

FieldMonitor gives you wireless monitoring & control for Canons, Panasonics, Sonys, and Teradeks.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT buy FieldMonitor without reading this ENTIRE description!
Test your camera with its native Wi-Fi app to make sure your workflow and recording formats are supported BEFORE buying FieldMonitor. Make sure you have the controls you need with the native app, and that image quality and lag are acceptable. Contact me if you have any questions.
• FieldMonitor has the same latency, resolution, and reliability as your camera’s native app.
• If a camera control or feature does not work with the native app, it won’t work with FieldMonitor.
• FieldMonitor has NO playback, review or download capability.
• In areas with busy Wi-Fi networks and/or sources of radio interference, performance cannot be guaranteed, whether using FieldMonitor or your camera’s native app.
WHAT IT DOES:
FieldMonitor™ lets you monitor picture, exposure, and color on supported Canon™, Panasonic™, and Sony™ cameras, and Teradek™ H.264/HEVC transmitters. FieldMonitor runs on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple Silicon (M1) Mac.
Use markers to show safe areas, aspect ratios, and framing grids. Desqueeze anamorphic images, cropped to your final aspect ratio. Flip the image on either axis. Focus Assist helps you nail focus. Use a waveform monitor, vectorscope, histogram, false color, and 3D LUTs.
With iPhone 5S or later, iPod touch 6G or later, iPad Air or later, iPad mini 2 or later, and iPad Pro, you can see a false-color picture with adjustable levels.
With a supported camera and lens you can start/stop recording, control exposure and color settings, and zoom or focus remotely. Controls are designed for fast, realtime adjustments.
See the FieldMonitor website for details.

Un complemento necesario

olegoryshchak on

Spain

He de decir que me ha sorprendido gratamente lo bien que la aplicacion exprime las pocas posibilidades que ofrece el flujo de datos a traves de wifi las camaras Panasonic. La rapidez inigualable en comparación a la aplicación oficial. Ademas de todas las opciones extra, como formas de onda, luts, etc. De hecho no me esperaba que el uso de peaking funcionara tan bien, pese a la baja resolución del flujo de video. Ademas te permite grabar prácticamente de forma ilimitada ya que la aplicacion reinicia la grabacion al superar cierto limite de tiempo maximo establecido en la camara. Es una aplicación muy necesaria para la gente que utilice gimbal, ya que puede visualizar la imagen sin conectar cables. Y además, camaras como la Panasonic G7 que no permite flujo a traves de HDMI durante la grabación, en esta aplicación si que funciona sin problemas. Muy recomendable!

Amazing app, a wireless external monitor

After buying a GH5M2, the app did not work properly. They answered me the same day!! The support is great, in a week they had solved the problem. The application works perfectly, it has nothing to envy to any external monitor…. LUTs, zebras, scopes, false color, all kinds of framing marks, anamorphic, different focus peaking independent of the camera... a luxury!!! Whoever complains about this application is because they have not spent any time learning it, although connection and configuration is very simple.

No la recomiendo

Freezes continuously and disconnects from camera constantly. Not worth it!

Meh

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

Worth the price

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!

Dual Screen

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)

Super low quality image

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

Great app for what it is

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.
