Imagine using that 12.9" iPad on a windy day.

Good to see that monitor mount is strong enough to cope with 0, 5kg of the ipad. That's what I'm going to build in a few days. Thanks for giving an evidence of feasibility.

Hi Chris, I liked the way you mount the monitor. Would you be kind enough to share all the details of the hardware and software you used.

[MEODOWLA]

Chris,

One more thing you could do. Using a software called ‘Sensor Logger’, you could use Gyro data from iPad sensors to stabilize footage recorded on phone.

One issue I have with these new HDMI converters is the mounting options. Accsoon is now selling a new 12.9" iPad Pro cage, but they really should just make an attachment for the old one. I bought one of Accsoon's 12.9" camera cages to use as a monitor and now I'd like to use it with this new converter.

$200 for capture card capable of only 1920x1080 60fps is overkill, but i guess for Apple there's no other way around it? For android there's plenty of $10 adapters giving 1920x1080 30fps and fee software. Is APP you using (you did not even mention APP name in the video) also comes with the adapter or can be downloaded separately, its "Accsoon SEE" App?

[midnitelux]

What’s the name of the software you use???? That should be the second thing you say.

[troywalt]

It baffles me that you can't do the same thing with the USB C of the camera to the USB C of the Ipad, crazy how they haven't given us this simple functionality.

How is this better than just connecting an ipad to the camera via usb-c using Monitor+?

[PaulFeinberg]

I just grabbed one of these today. Looks sweet. Looking forward to doing livestreams for my wife doing virtual tours live on social media. Better than using a cell phone camera.

I’ve seen this but I ended up getting the Accsoon Cineeye 2; a little more pricey but super handy since I can monitor on an ipad wirelessly!

[c.rutherford]

I was given an IPad running v10.3.3 and this is my 8th failed video attempt to "Use Your Old Ipad as a Camera Monitor".
I'm looking and this thing most definitely does not have a USB-C port. Foiled again.
Its really seeming like a pipe dream at this point. Doing ANYTHING with it, actually. It does make a nice paperweight!

[kennymatz.]

This setup would work great as a teleprompter as well

[tksa]

Nice review bro.
So, if I set my camera to record 4K 120 FPS, this device will shrink it to 1080p 60 FPS on my iPad's camera roll. Will I still have the original 4K 120 FPS footage recorded on my camera itself? i.e. will my footage be recorded on both devices, camera and mobile? Thanks

[mattwruff]

I have this great mount but it doesn't fit iPad mini (which I got as a Christmas present) which to me is plenty I'm 63 but not that blind for my iPad Pro, SO Thanks I went with Heavy Duty Velcro over the 3M pads...I have a Atomos if I shotting a big project but for small stuff in-camera is good enough! I love my Sony Cameras (A74, FX30, X3) except the screen are BAD!

[justkeepdigging]

I wish Sony would make a 5'' or 7'' monitor that used the hotshoe mount for wireless connectivity and support for all their touch screen features on a monitor large enough for people with knackered old eyes like me.

[MasterOfNone]

NO 4K recording??? it supports 1080p Only. Is that the display or recording resolution.?

[scannorse]

For photography, i just use Capture One for iPad without any converter, just usb. Havent tried if it also works as a video monitor…

[BLazLessons]

Question: how did you separate the iPhone attachment from the other part? Doesn’t seem like they’re meant to come apart… did you just pry it loose with a screwdriver?

[filmmakerevolution]

Great piece of kit! I take mine and use it with my phone if I'm packing light when traveling to jobs that it would be a pain to have to carry tons of gear, saves taking my ninja v and all the bits
