Do you have any experience about SL camera + a monitor?

I'm interested in taking pictures from low level position. As I'm rather old need extraordinary help to do that in vertical standing, whether above the floor or a one table.

Having got the camera as low as I can, eg on a beanbag (lower than I can get with a tripod, I use a connected iPhone to set aperture, exposure, point of focus and take the picture. Saves my creaky back!!!!

Works with a CL too.

Other manufacturer give their cameras a tilt display. I love them on my GH5. I do not know why Leica is so stubborn and mounts only fixed screens on their cameras.
It is silly to carry a second device only to achieve the functionality that other cameras has already build in.
Thats the only reason i will not buy the new SL2 although i waited so long for it…

If you are not so agile anymore, then using a phone or pad is much more comfortable than having a tilted screen. So even if it is an additional device (that you probably have on you anyway), I find it better than a screen that is also close to the ground (bean bag) and difficult to see.

iPhone with a tilt screen??

I have a camera with a tilt screen. Used often would be too much, but sometimes it is very useful. With a tripod and a long lens it is a nice feature also.

Thank you, you four.

With Leica Photo  App I've used my Android Galaxy 5 and, because I not know iPhone mobiles, I'm looking for a system able to transfer the all MENU to the screen so that I was capable to put my settings handling the camera but watching the screen at the same time. I've seen some similar in profesional studios.
