FieldMonitor gives you wireless monitoring & control for Canons, Panasonics, Sonys, and Teradeks. IMPORTANT: DO NOT buy FieldMonitor without reading this ENTIRE description! Test your camera with its native Wi-Fi app to make sure your workflow and recording formats are supported BEFORE buying FieldMonitor. Make sure you have the controls you need with the native app, and that image quality and lag are acceptable. Contact me if you have any questions. • FieldMonitor has the same latency, resolution, and reliability as your camera’s native app. • If a camera control or feature does not work with the native app, it won’t work with FieldMonitor. • FieldMonitor has NO playback, review or download capability. • In areas with busy Wi-Fi networks and/or sources of radio interference, performance cannot be guaranteed, whether using FieldMonitor or your camera’s native app. WHAT IT DOES: FieldMonitor™ lets you monitor picture, exposure, and color on supported Canon™, Panasonic™, and Sony™ cameras, and Teradek™ H.264/HEVC transmitters. FieldMonitor runs on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple Silicon (M1) Mac. Use markers to show safe areas, aspect ratios, and framing grids. Desqueeze anamorphic images, cropped to your final aspect ratio. Flip the image on either axis. Focus Assist helps you nail focus. Use a waveform monitor, vectorscope, histogram, false color, and 3D LUTs. With iPhone 5S or later, iPod touch 6G or later, iPad Air or later, iPad mini 2 or later, and iPad Pro, you can see a false-color picture with adjustable levels. With a supported camera and lens you can start/stop recording, control exposure and color settings, and zoom or focus remotely. Controls are designed for fast, realtime adjustments. See the FieldMonitor website for details.

It’s well worth the price, as a cell phone / field monitor holder is around the same price haha. A lot of functionality, scopes/af / wave forms/ it’s quite impressive. As for connecting consistently: 1. Turn camera on, go to wifi, turn on connection to phone 2. On phone connect through wifi to your camera 3. Open the Lumix app / either works (it’ll confirm it’s under control) 4. Open field monitor app. 5. Be impressed for its price. **Developer response:** Thank you for the review! ### 4/5 — Update required *2024-10-30* Ok **Developer response:** The app gets updated when I find bugs or add new features. What update do you think it requires? ### 5/5 — Excelente! Usando na Lumix GH6 *2024-02-16* Achando perfeito até agora. Muitas possibilidades e configurações avançadas. Conectou tranquilamente na minha Lumix GH6 Latência de imagem aceitável para uma transmissão sem fio! Recomendo **Developer response:** Obrigado pela gentil avaliação! ### 5/5 — G85 *2024-02-01, version 10.3* This app has taken my G85 video rig to the next level. Seem less and professional Thank you ### 1/5 — Inutilisable avec ma Sony RX 10iV *2024-01-09* Je pense avoir installé et réglé app et camera correctement (mode avion actif), malgré cela, l‘image de la caméra sur mon iPhone 11Pro est tellement hachée que ce monitor n‘est pas utilisable. L‘argent jeté par la fenêtre! **Developer response:** Si vous voyez toujours une vidéo saccadée avec le mode avion activé, il est probable que vous vous trouviez dans une zone avec beaucoup d'autres trafics Wi-Fi ou d'autres interférences radio. Essayez de changer la caméra pour qu'elle utilise le mode point d'accès au lieu de son propre réseau interne, ou essayez les autres étapes de dépannage sur https://www.adamwilt.com/fieldmonitor/support.html#WiFiTroubleshooting. Si tout le reste échoue, demandez un remboursement à l’App Store. (Traduit par Google ; désolé !) ### 2/5 — Meh *2023-12-20, version 10.2* It didn’t work for my cámara I want my money back 🥲 ### 3/5 — needs an update for recent cameras *2023-09-25* The app doesn't seem to work with the recent sony cameras that do not use imagin edge, like the zve1, a6700, a7 R5 that use the creator's app instead. Great app otherwise, but really needs an update ! ### 1/5 — So laggy. Freezing. *2023-07-16* Canon M50. iPhone 11 as monitor. Very laggy and the feed only lasts for a few seconds before it freezes. This really lets the app down. All the other features are great but if you can’t see what your filming in real time it renders it unusable. Tried all the tips and tricks listed in the notes but to no avail. Very pricey for how bad it operates. Kinda feel duped. **Developer response:** Sorry you feel duped. I try to make it clear that you should test performance with your camera's free native app before buying FieldMonitor, but sometimes that message doesn't get through. Not sure what it is about your setup that's causing the problem, but the symptoms you describe typically occur in very crowded RF environments with many Wi-Fi networks and high network congestion / interference. FWIW I've run FieldMonitor with the M50 Mk II and it worked fine. If you can't make it work you should ask Apple for a refund. ### 5/5 — Funktioniert auch mit der Sony ZV-E10 *2022-11-10* Aufgrund der negativen Reviews war ich zuerst skeptisch. Als ich mich dann doch überwunden habe, der App eine Chance zu geben, sollte ich es schließlich nicht bereut haben. Nachdem beim ersten Mal die Verbindung zur Kamera abgebrochen wurde, hat es beim zweiten Versuch umso besser geklappt. Die Verzögerung der Bildübertragung ist sehr gering, so dass man sehr gut damit arbeiten kann. Aufgrund der vielen Einstellmöglichkeiten bin ich der Meinung, dass diese App eine der besten auf dem Markt ist. **Developer response:** Vielen Dank für die positive Bewertung und für die Berichterstattung über die ZV-E10, damit ich sie in die Liste der getesteten Kameras aufnehmen kann! ### 5/5 — Worth the price *2022-04-30* Life saver. Panasonic doesn’t offer external monitor support on the G7 and their official app doesn’t offer full screen monitoring (why???). You could shell out $300 for an atomos recorder (more than I paid for the camera body), or you could spend $20 on this very capable app. It’s surprising usable. I’m not sure if you could rely on this for super professional work, but for my use case it does the job. It seems like the developer maintains the app fairly well, so hopefully this can be a good long term solution for me. Keep up the good work! **Developer response:** Thanks for the kind words! ## Frequently asked questions about FieldMonitor ### What does FieldMonitor do?

The app supports select Canon EOS mirrorless and DSLR cameras, Panasonic Lumix cameras, Sony Alpha and RX cameras, and Teradek H.264 and HEVC encoders. It's important to check the app's description for specific model compatibility and limitations, as not all cameras or devices in these brands are supported. ### How much does FieldMonitor cost? FieldMonitor is a paid application. The exact price is not detailed in the provided description, but it is a one-time purchase. It does not have in-app purchases or ads. ### What are the limitations of FieldMonitor? FieldMonitor does not support playback, review, or download of footage. It is designed for hybrid still/video cameras and does not work with cine cameras or camcorders. Audio is not transmitted from cameras, only from Teradeks. Performance may be affected in areas with busy Wi-Fi networks or radio interference. ### Can I use FieldMonitor for live streaming?
