PortkeysPT5 II Camera Monitor 5 Inch Full Touchscreen DSLR Field Monitor FHD 4K Camera Monitor Wide Color Gamut New Peaking LUT Video Assist Luma RGB Waveform for DSLR

The Portkeys PT6 Camera Field Monitor is an amazing piece of gear especially if you are a beginner. It has everything you need and the price is absolutely ridiculous considering all the great features available. I would recommend it all the time. I used it on a ZV-E10 and a7iv

Good quality and very small and slim size.Paired with DJI RS3 Mini

Easy to use and set up pity screen brightness wasn’t better

I've used this for nearly a year now and it's brilliant. Shame it does eat batteries unless you connect it to a v-mount. But that's kinda expected, the lil canon 2000mah batteries sent the best.Interface is basic but fine, all the settings like false colours, zebra, peaking 3D LUT and as such that you would expect are there. I've more or less always used it with the sun visor as I shoot outdoors alot, but the screen is usually perfectly bright. Feels split and is built well.The hdmi cable it comes with is fine but I got a nice right angle braided cable that works better for my personal black magic 6k setup

PORTKEYS PT5 III. June2025This monitor has a few weird quirks but here's the good bits first:A good upgrade from the PT5 II - the 800 nit screen is noticeably brighter than its 500nit predecessor and colour reproduction out-of-the-box is fairly accurate. With the backlight set to 10 (full) it has a similar luminance to my 1000nit Ninja-V at 80%. The Portkeys is perhaps 10% more chroma saturated than my calibrated Atomos screen but there are more adjustment options in the new but oddly named MOVNORM operating system which, while still not perfect is a vast improvement over the clunky old one.But why would I buy this if I already own an excellent high-brightness 5" monitor? Weight and battery life!Whilst my Ninja-V is great it's also heavy and power hungry. The PT5 III weighs just over 150g making it wonderfully lightweight which you'll appreciate if you use a gimbal a lot, and with only 7w power draw it won't eat through my batteries. (Paired with the excellent Smallrig NP-F550 3500mAh battery ( weight 114g) I was getting well over 2hrs).The PT5 III screen still isn't quite as good as the equivalent Atomos monitors but it's close enough for most situations where I need to check colour and exposure - I considered the Shinobi II but it's still twice the weight and over twice the price.Now the not so good: current firmware: MOV OS V1.02.26Boot up time 13 seconds (twice as long as an Atomos Ninja-V)There is a physical 'screen lock' switch to prevent the touchscreen being accidentally knocked - which I think is a great idea BUT when it's switched on any on-screen tools like waveform etc. disappear - that's just odd. It must be a programming oversight?'Colour Grader' not so much bad, just an odd feature to have on a monitor - it adjusts the hue of specific, targeted colours. There is also a Mic Input on the monitor - it doesn't send audio to the camera. I'm guessing these 2 features are aimed at vloggers etc. who intend to record the output from the PT5 III's HDMI port? These are of zero benefit to camera operators but I guess you can just leave them switched off.What is concerning is the HDMI output/pass-through has a significant gamma shift/reduced dynamic range (see photos), this is without any adjustments or LUT applied. In this example an external HDMI video source was connected to a Ninja-V and a PT5 III, it shows the influence each monitor's output has on the image: ie: the Ninja-V has a clean passthrough but the PT5 III doesn't.This could be a problem if you were to attach a video TX unit for instance, resulting in a dark, saturated image. Portkeys need to fix this.Overall a great little screen that is best suited to indoor or cloudy outdoor shooting (ie: not direct bright sunlight). Colour accuracy is good. Weight and battery life are superb. It doesn't beat a TVlogic or SmallHD for clarity but then at this price it's not trying to compete with them. In the sub-£300 category it's one of the best so far.

I'm sure this is a great screen, but how am I supposed to know if it doesn't even switch on???No power cable in the box, had to wait an extra day for that to arrive. And even once plugged into power it still required another battery!!! Shocking product. Thank God Amazon prime only takes a day to deliver the stuff that should be included in the box!! 🙏

This is a good product for the new begginers or desktop users for the live view. However the HDMI ports on the different sides makes it harder to use in certain times as there is generally no space in small setups. There is only one screw port and that makes it even harder to use while using it with DJI Ronin as the input hdmi stays in the opposite side of the camera and limits the movement of the DJI Ronin.One other thing is the settings are hard to find, I still couldn't understand how to show them in one movement. And the lack of screen ration is another problem. Not the flip and morror screen.

This monitor is packed full of features and really is great value for money! Lasts a long time on a battery or can be powered via usb. Has HDMI in and out for tonnes of functionality. Has a nice hood, case and hot shoe mount. Only downside is that the monitor can get pretty hot, but otherwise, excellent!
