Portkeys LH7P

The construction quality of this monitor is disappointing and feels average at best. The battery compartment is poorly designed, with pins that were misaligned and required adjustment to fit standard NPF Sony batteries. While the image quality is sharp, it falls short in accurately reproducing the camera's colors, even when set to 10-bit 4:2:2. As a result, it’s useful as a reference monitor to check framing and focus but unreliable for judging colors or exposure.One standout feature is the ability to control camera settings directly from the monitor without needing to interact with the camera itself. However, while this feature is innovative, it feels slightly laggy and not fully polished. The overall build quality and functionality suggest this product is more of a pre-production prototype than a finished product. Given these limitations, the price point feels excessive; $250 would be a more appropriate range, especially considering competing monitors in this range offer better build quality.In summary, this monitor could work well for solo operators or as a secondary tool but leaves much to be desired in terms of refinement and reliability.

This is the 4th monitor i've owned and it's my favorite! It's a lot bigger than i was expecting which is great! because I wanted a larger screen for clients to easily review footage, And it does that.I always get compliments for it.It's touch screen is very easy to use and responsive, I also bought the LH7P specifically because it has the border or grid for the 9:16 ratio (vertical format)A lot of clients ask for vertical versions of the content, so instead of just filming vertically which i don't like.I can film horizontally, use the grid to properly frame the subject for a vertical video, and have two options instead of being stuck with one. (horizontal and vertical clip)Also with the grids for example the (9:16) you can turn on/off a mask that blacks out the outer border so you only see what's inside of the (9:16) box, easier to focus on what your framing.The build quality is great, it is plastic... but i'm sure that's what helps keep it at such a good price! you also get a lot for what you pay for. It comes with a hard case, a mount, a HDMI cable, two anti glare protective screens, a mini USB drive so if you want to capture a still frame, match that same scene again and line it up perfectly you can.The brightness is great no issues there, but i did buy a cage and sunhood to help protect and add to the better view, I film in south florida a lot, totally worth it.But overall 10/10 i'm very happy with this monitor

Great functionality and features. Pretty good in sunlight and very light given its size. There is a WiFi touch screen AF tap function with certain Sonys which is a plus. Great monitor at a good price. I would recommend this product.

The battery prongs were too close to the monitor therefore, I was unable to use it very unfortunate. I tried all batteries and none worked. Waste of time and money.

This was a pretty awesome monitor for the first three times I used it. Now it will power up and show the name of the brand, but does absolutely nothing. I’ve tried it with different cables and on different cameras. Three uses and it’s completely nonfunctional.

This monitor is priced appropriately. It's cheap, and, well, cheap. It has a nice metal and plastic build and sports some nice features, but the color is much different than my native monitor (with matching output). The most disappointing thing about it is the poor touch response, and the screen covers that came free are absolutely abysmal. I think they would have been better off leaving them out. They're super bubbly and unreliable.If you need any monitor and this is the cheaper option, sure, get it. If you're coming from any reputable monitor to this one, maybe fork out some more money for more quality.

This is my first monitor for filming as I recently got a Sony FX30 and it was hard to accurately gauge the brightness of a scene on the small flip screenFrom my short time using this monitor it has zebra, peaking, touch focus, and many other features. So far it’s turn my work from a 5 to a 9 and I love it!Edit: 3/23/2024This screen is still functioning beautifully and bright as heckI started using the false color and RGB waveforms and man, they really do help a ton!I filmed for the longest I've had to film for in a while and with a 99Wh v-mount battery I charging my FX30, Portkeys LH7P, LED light, and DJI RS3 I got over 5 hours of recording time. Fantastic! For being so bright, it's efficient as it barely sips power. Hell, my DJI RS3 takes more power sometimes!Get this if you don't need or care for recording in other codecs and want something that's going to help you shoot fantastic films and videos!

Not great, video quality is trash compared to atomos WiFi connect is cool but annoying to do it every time.
