Canon 7d with the LILLIPUT field monitor test and Review
I Searched all over the net for a review of the Lilliput monitor used as a field monitor for the Canon 7d, and i found nothing. So I decided to take a chance and order it. Turns out it works Great for pulling focus with the canon 7d and not to bad on the canon 5d mkII. It has the same resolution as many higher priced models such as the Ikan. I would say for Under 0 this is a great field monitor.
@onelonedork Hmmm.. Well there is a firmware update for the T2i but i’m sure it doesn’t cover this problem. I will shoot Trammell Hudson an email and see if he is working on anything with the Magic Lantern firm ware for the T2i.
@LegendFilmWorks I’m not sure why canon did it but basically the 5d and T2i got to 4:3 when recording video. The 7d and 60d do not I think its a firm ware configuration change that could correct this but I may be wrong.
Hmmm..I wonder why the monitor can play back 16:9 on cropped sensors and only 4:3 on the full frame 5d…
Anyone looking for a battery like mentioned in this video, check this link:
@ChristinaMercury This can be done, but a standard def monitor will be a bit harder to use for fine focus.
is it possible to connect your dslr to a car/headrest monitor to use as a field monitor? mainly for videos. I’m sure you’d need the right cables but is it possible? do you know? lol thanks.
is there anyway u can show how u set up tha moniter?
It must be great to live in the US ,to be able to walk into any store and pick up what you want unlike the UK when all you get is a blank look and the ULTIMATE QUESTION ” have you looked on the internet”? to me this is neither helpful nor an answer to my question………… no matter what i ask for re Electronics.
Very helpful – Thank you
Good—–thank’s for your help. very well.
Thanks man for the review… its a great option to monitoring… I follow your channel =)
how much does this setup weigh? Thanks man, I was looking into a Small HD but this is much closer to my price range.
@mrmuggs1970 the model in the video is a Lilliput 869GL. I picked it up on ebay used (because i couldn’t find any good reviews on it, i didn’t want to pay full price). It does have a flip left to right and top to bottom option.
dude you rock. Thanks for the review. You have the exact setup I want to get.
Does this monitor by any chance have a flip function? Say if using it with a lens adapter setup you can flip the upside down image coming out, right side up?
And please state the exact model number that you used in the video in your initial description. Also, did you buy online directly from Lilliput? Or from a third party. Please tell us what third party you bought from.
@FencinGrl23 Yes, the only down side is that well recording the T2i switches to a 4:3 aspect ratio which gives you pretty much the same recording view 5d users have to put up with.
Can this monitor work with the Canon 550D/T2i
@onelonedork ok thanks
@raginroninreview go with the 6800 mah which also means 6.8 amp hours.
@onelonedork sorry I’m not familiar with the terminologies, I just heard you mention “6.4 amp” but you didn’t mention 4800mah or 6800mah in your video (I don’t even know what that means)
@darthsamurai Also listed in the video.
@onelonedork thanks, I missed that part. The seller who is selling that battery has 2 12V batteries for sale, the 4800mAH and the 6800 mAH. Which did you get?
@darthsamurai As Stated in the video 4 to 5 hours.
thank you for the review, i just need to ask one question…..how long does that extra battery you bought last?
@onelonedork o ok. thanks bud!
@xpopxeyex Yep Photo’s play back as well.
