I just ordered this. Looks good for the price. Never had a monitor before.

Very few other monitors have anamorphic 1.6x de-squeeze support. I have the Sirui Saturn 1.6x lenses that need this special ratio. I'm glad Viltrox was thinking about this.

Splendid review of the camera monitor! It is evident that the monitor's high resolution, color accuracy, and other features make it an invaluable tool for professional videographers alike. Additionally, your detailed analysis and nuanced critique provide valuable insights for potential buyers seeking to make an informed purchasing decision. Kudos to you for an excellent video!

Great information, I just bought mine and so far I'm loving it. Thanks for the video

[SeanBreathnach]

Great review. Think I'll pick this up.

[evandomme]

Nice video. How many time does it take to power on ? Thanks

So buddy, just to add a point or two. After, I bought this Viltrox DC 550 pro, it doesn't have an HDMI to type C cable as the Sony A6700 needs such a cable. So as a note, remember that you may need to buy an extra cable if your camera doesn't have an HDMI connecting port. All the cables in the dc pro do not have any. Oops.Other than that, it's pretty cool. FYI _ it’s compatible with the A6700 though as it has a micro HDMI

The battery is white, I can't get my head around it. Such a shame.

[orangejjay]

What's up with the unit being black and the battery being WHITE?! And then the logo is upside down once it's on there? Crazy stuff.

I put black tape over all my logos ... but putting the black tape over the logo on this battery didn't look good.

Just a strange thing to do.

Great review! Do you have any problem or concerns with the delay of the monitor while shooting?

[vis_arts_]

Great Review! Thank you. Can you tell please does it have touch focus assistant function?

[quadcoptervision]

Perfect but for one thing - the ability to turn that blasted fan off.... even if we have to throttle back the light to 600 nits - so be it.... but give us an option to turn that fan

I recently purchased this monitor and want to warn people to not update this monitor to the Version 4.7 which I made a mistake to download and got my monitor bricked (blue screen / white horizontal lines). So far, no support from Viltrox.

The problem with any camera monitor is that it forces the camera to be used below eye level or at least makes using it than way more convenient.

What’s wrong with that you ask? Nothing if you like looking up the noses of your subjects. The more flattering facial rendering is a POV high enough above eye line of the subject that the nose holes are hidden by the top of the nostrils. That varies with he shape of the nose and way you will notice most actors and models have aquiline noses with the tip of the nose hiding the nostrils from view when camera lens is eye level or slightly below.

Uhu great specs, but it all stops with the white battery. Why would you do that??

[cebb]

if ill be using a vmount battery powering the monitor via 5v USB c port do i need to removed monitors battery.

[PremiumMotoTV]

dude, fan, how loud? why not mention this?

[ianreels]

Hey man, I'm debating on which one to get: viltrox dc-550 pro or feelworld f5 prox. Which one would you go for?

Great video btw! Keep rocking it🤍

[guidocrescitelli]

Great video! Does it work if my camera records at 6K?
