That’s 19 differnt HDMI on camera monitors! I haven’t even listed the ones that feature SDI.
The screen as I mentioned is a full HD IPS panel and it has a claimed contrast ratio of 1200:1, a PPI of 323, and a screen brightness of 500nits. This is not very bright and it is certainly going to be more suited for indoor use.
Now, the F7 Pro only covers a Rec.709 gamut, but strangely Feelworld claims that it supports HDR monitoring. That is technically impossible given that not only can the monitor only display a Rec.709 gamut, but it is also only 500nits.
The F7 Pro is an HDMI IN/OUT only monitor. It comes with a 12V DC In, a 8V DC Out, a 5V USB-C input, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The monitor weighs 330g (11.64oz).
The Feelworld F7 Pro features an auxiliary power out (DC OUT 8V) so that you can use it to power various cameras. Optional DC coupler cables are available for NP-FW50 Sony, Canon LP-E6 Canon, and Panasonic DMW-BLF19.
The monitor itself is powered via powered by a Sony F970 battery. It has a power consumption of ≤9W. There is also an additional powered Sony F970 battery plate so you can directly attach various accessories that also use a Sony F series battery.
With this additional powered battery plate you could attach a compatible wireless video RX unit.
The monitor features touchscreen functionality. You can access menus and functionality via the touchscreen and you can also pinch to zoom like you would on a tablet or smartphone.
If you don’t want to use the touchscreen functionality you can use physical controls instead.
As far as monitoring tools are concerned, the F7 Pro comes with a 12 different options.The Video OS includes tools for focus, framing & exposure (waveform, RGB parade, vectorscope, RGB histogram, histogram, embedded audio, focus peaking, zoom, zebra, false color, safe frames, etc.) along with a flexible 3D LUT implementation (use built-in LOG to Rec.709 video or upload .cube files) and options for anamorphic de-squeeze monitoring.
Price & Availability
The F7 Pro is now available. It retails for $239.00 USD.
