biswasg Posted August 30, 2020 Share #1  Posted August 30, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) The lack of a tilting display on the SL2 makes it difficult to shoot from low or other than eye level angles. Has anyone tried to put a secondary display, say mounted on the flash shoe so that it becomes easy to see the with low or difficult angles. I saw using the Atomos Ninja for also recording video. Can the iPhone mounted on the hot shoe be a possibility or any other display option? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom.w.bn Posted August 30, 2020 Share #3  Posted August 30, 2020 You should have bought the S1R instead 🙂 That does not help, I know. I don't think that the phone option is very practical. If you have the idea of a low angle shot, you have to open the app, establish a connection between phone and camera and then you can shoot. That can be quite cumbersome. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are quite a few small monitors that don't record video. You will find them much lighter/cheaper than the Ninja. Most come with adapter plates for Sony L-Mount or Canon batteries, so you'll have to add batteries and a charger to the price. You will also need some kind of mounting system if they don't come with a hotshoe mount, and a short HDMI cable. It's best to try it out in a shop if you can. Some of the mounting systems are very poorly designed (hard to adjust). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
