Found out the the Canon T2i, 60D, an 5DMkII only allow Standard Definition Monitoring. This should work fine for people who want to be able to monitor their footage while in movie mode.

does it have an issue of blinking when pressing the recording button on cams? like the liliput monitors have
Everyone knows that – ya dork ;D
yes exactly, you have to use the rya cable that comes with your camera … you plug the yellow thing into the yellow thing of the camera and it works ! the white and red things are not used so you can use them to connect an amplifier and some headphones to monitor the audio …
I bought this monitor for 30 dollars and i’m quite happy with it ! the only problem I have is that it don’t comes with a battery so I had to buy a 30 dollars battery, but it stills very cheap compared to the others monitors !
Ho Josh, can you tell me what cable you use to connect the monitor to a canon 60d? Can I use a 3.5mm camcorder jack plug into the camera with RCA at the other end of the cable to go into the monitor?
I appreciate your time and response.
Many thanks.
What about battery power?
Actually you can focus before shooting and watch playback in hi-def. When you start filming video it degrades to standard def. But I think I decent SD monitor would be an improvement over the tiny built in LCD.
I like the idea of it, but I don’t trust who is selling it. tell us how it is.
