VILTROX DC-550 Pro 5.5 inch Camera Field Monitor, 4K HDMI Touchscreen DSLR Camera Monitor with Battery Sunshade Hood, 1200 Nits 3D Lut 1920X1080 HD Focus Peaking Assist On Camera Video Monitor

I bought this mainly because of the scopes and false color features. This tool is loaded with all the features you’ll need for the perfect shot at a decent price. The touchscreen works perfectly, although the buttons on the screen are small. However, once you set your preferences, you don’t really need to do anything other than power it on and off. There are also quick buttons to recall a setup.It has some fancy features like the ability to use LUTs, but I haven’t tested them as I don’t need them, nor do I generally like the idea of altering the image while trying to capture the best possible quality of the original footage. Still, for some, this may be a crucial feature.Brightness is fine, especially if you’re mainly verifying things using scopes, etc. It easily beats several more expensive options in terms of price and value, as I’ve been able to compare it with friends who have other, more expensive brands of monitors and recorders.You can easily find extra batteries at any camera store, eBay, or Amazon for a reasonable price. The only downside is that the HDMI cables are like “steel rods,” so you’ll need to order ultra-thin and flexible ones. The bulky cables could damage your HDMI connector if they get even slightly tangled.

If you receive yours and the language is in Chinese then follow the steps I’ve provided in the video to get it to English. Let’s get to the review!Pros:1. Build quality - this monitor has great build quality. It doesn’t feel plastic and cheap like some of the other monitors I’ve used on the market.2. Packaging - it comes with a nice carrying case that can fit everything in it. If you’ve been on shoots you know how nice it is to have care for your equipment vs having them thrown in backpacks or pelican cases. It also come with a solid monitor mount which is great for attaching the monitor on a hotshoe or top handle.3. Color Accuracy - from my experience with this monitor the color I get from it are more accurate to my camera monitor than my Atomos Shinobi. We all know how important color reproduction is when it comes to video production. I don’t have to worry about my white balance being off when using this monitor.4. Brightness & exposure tools - the brightness of this monitor is bright enough to be used in bright environments without a sunhood even though they include a sunhood just incase you need it. Built in exposure tools in the monitor are good but I don’t use them because my camera have the built in.5. HDMI placement - the hdmi cable connects to the bottom of the monitor which I love Ector makes for a much cleaner setup without the risk of someone or something bumping the side and possibly breaking the hdmi cable.Cons:The only cons I could find so far was the lack of support for attachments like coldshoe mounts and the buttons clicks are pretty loud. So if you are in the middle of recording I wouldn’t recommend using the custom function button because the mics will pic them up. But you can still use touchscreen so it’s not really an issue but I thought I’d put that out there. Other than that it’s a great monitor for the price for sure. If anything changes I’ll update.

I love how easy it is to see what I'm capturing. I dislike the lag between the monitor and the lcd when using the menu on my Nikon Z6iii.

We love this screen. The color is great, the weight it not so heavy and the size is perfect. Functionality, it does everything we need. Its very sturdy and does not wobble. Image is clear and we run it with our battery bank which last a long time because it does not consume too much battery.

For anyone on a budget looking for a high-quality monitor, this is a fantastic deal. The display is sharp, vibrant, and offers great color accuracy, making it perfect for photo and video editing.What makes this purchase even better is the bundle of accessories included. The package came with a sunshade, HDMI cables, and a convenient carrying case. These extras add incredible value, making the setup more versatile and ready for various shooting conditions.Overall, the Viltrox DC-550 Pro offers excellent performance and incredible value for the price. Highly recommended for anyone needing a reliable monitor without breaking the bank!

The media could not be loaded. OverallNice size, weight, and user friendly design. I highly recommend this monitor!I've used this on a few shoots already and it really helps frame and expose your shots. If you try to use your built in camera screen you are doing yourself a disservice. This product would change your ability to accurately see and get the shots you want in real time. I have had no issues with this field monitor, other than the included hot shoe mount I suggest you consider an aftermarket metal one if this plastic one doesn't work for you.Pros-Resolution looks sharp even compared to my 4k monitors-Colors appear accurate-On and off Switch instead of holding a button-HDMI Input AND Output-Pop up sunshade cover is amazing and protects the screen-Comes with extra HDMI cables and carrying case-Battery has USB C port built inConsIncluded hot shoe mount is pretty thin and wiggles around a bit

This Product lasted about 7 months, 15 uses then died. Never to be revived.

Seems ok but there is no touch focus, if you zoom in and try to move image around it's not possible, the image jumps all around, you can assign a function button to zoom in but not out, so you have to go through all the zoom increments to get back to no zoom. I wanted it for photography thought it would give me a bigger image than my LCD screen, but it doesn't give you much more than your camera's screen there's a lot of black area around your image, so 5.5inch screen is not all useable but it will be brighter.
