markieh Posted April 27, 2021 Share #21 Posted April 27, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thanks for that. Makes perfect sense. At the moment I'm recording to the SD cards and using a simple 5" monitor on top, just to get a larger view of the image at different angles. Works pretty well. Iv also been using a spare iPhone mounted on a handle along with the FOTOS app. Its not perfect... but does give one a wireless, compact, lightweight, self powered viewing alternative and it does allow direct access for touch focus as well as start and stop recording. A bit laggy at times but all in all and nice way to expand the cameras video operation with a minimum of additional equipment. I use this camera primarly for stills but really enjoy being able to shoot high quality video as well when the moment arises. Looking forward to the firmware update.
