Lumix s5iix

I have just been playing around with it for a couple days. 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.

The app gets updated when I find bugs or add new features. What update do you think it requires?

Excelente! Usando na Lumix GH6

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

Inutilisable avec ma Sony RX 10iV

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!

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 !)

Meh

It didn’t work for my cámara I want my money back 🥲

needs an update for recent cameras

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 !

So laggy. Freezing.

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.

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.

Funktioniert auch mit der Sony ZV-E10

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.

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!

Worth the price

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!

Dual Screen

Testing iPad 2 and iPhone 13. I tried messaging will have to email, but I was trying to run both off of one camera. I am also still inquiring over black magic? (GH4 GH5 BMPCC4 cams I use)

Super low quality image

Is it suppose to be so blurry, and laggy i have a 13 pro so it cant be my phone 😩

Handy and easy to use.

I use Lumix cameras. Mostly my directors monitor is a very bright and sharp one by way of a Hollyland wifi setup. For a second camera I can give the director my iPad showing this app. It is very quick to get going and you can turn off the camera controls to free up the screen. Much easier than the Panasonic apps. The only extra I’d like is to be able to see time code.

Thanks for the review! Unfortunately the camera does not send timecode over Wi-Fi as far as I can tell, so I can't display it.

good, could be better?

Recent update broke support for my Sony X70 cams, app is useless to me now, very disappointed.

延迟和索尼官方的一样

非常不好用，不推荐

匿名啥都没拿

Response from developer

Yes, of course the delay is the same as with the Sony app: FieldMonitor uses the same protocol to talk to the camera. The app description and the website make that very clear. I am sorry I do not have the resources to translate it into Chinese, and I'm sorry you find it difficult to use. Please ask the App Store for a refund.

True to its name

Was looking for a simple monitor for my a6400 and this puts my iPad to work very nicely. Lag is negligible. What controls are available for my Sony are nice to have, but the monitoring function is used here primarily for framing checks during live streaming. As the developer suggests, take a few minutes to suss out his site (videos etc.) before you purchase. (If you fiddle with menu settings on the (Sony) camera while connected, the connection will time out).

Sony Kameras

Für Sony Kameras kann ich die App definitiv nicht empfehlen, denn es gibt sehr viele starke Verzögerungen die manchmal bis zu 5 sek dauern , aber es mag sein das dieses Problem bei z.B. Canon Kameras nicht auftritt .

[Google Translate] Verzögerungen hängen von Ihren WLAN-Einstellungen und Ihrer Umgebung ab.

Response from developer

What is the oscillogram? FieldMonitor has the three most common 'scopes: waveform monitor, histogram, and vectorscope. And why did you not contact me directly with your question, instead posting a negative review???

seems to be great but didn‘t worked yet

It really seems to be great app. But sadly for the high price it hasn‘t worked yet.

I tried to connect a Panasonic HC-X1000 Camcorder and a Canon eos 250 D but both sadly didn‘t work.

Now I use the native camera apps of each camera. Hope the app is updated and more cameras will be supported or there would be a support or feedback option.

But from the reports of others and what functionalites it should have, it seems to be a great app if it works. Sadly it doesn’t work for me, yet.

For support, you can send me email from the app's Help page, or from the Contact link on the FieldMonitor website at https://www.adamwilt.com/fieldmonitor/index.html. Camcorders are not supported, only Lumix mirrorless Panasonics, sorry. For the 250D, make sure you are setting up a *different* connection: you can't use the same connection as Canon Camera Connect uses. Details at https://www.adamwilt.com/fieldmonitor/howto.html#CanonDirect. If you have other questions please contact me directly; it's much quicker than working through App Store reviews!

Lumix S1和S5使用上的困惑

松下的Lumia S1和S5都能正常连接使用，但是，在录制视频到达30秒时，相机的屏幕会自动关闭变成黑屏，相机使用者无法正常观看相机画面内容，只有APP使用者才可以看到画面。希望开发者能回复一下，可以怎么解决呢？感谢！
