Feelworld LUT6 HDMI monitor
I often connect an external HDMI monitor to my Sony A1. The Feelworld is attached to my tripod.
The Feelworld LUT6 attached using a Smallrig arm attached to my Manfrotto Tripod.
The screen is glossy but very bright even in the harshest light. The shown photo is unprocessed (embedded JPG in RAW file).
Using a Smallrig arm I can quickly change the postion of the screen from horizontally to vertically or tilt it. The screen is mounted just below the camera.
As you might guess I only use this setup when I don’t need to be mobile. Here I used the screen during the shoot of the 32 Miss Belgium finalists in Egypt when I start at 07:30 and photograph my last model at around 15:00.
It makes life so much easier. It is just nearly impossible to use the EVF (electronic view finder) all day.
What made me choose the Feelworld LUT6?
The Feelworld brightness is 2600 nit and that is very bright even with lots of sunlight the screen is bright enough. The streetprice is 300 Euro and that is in my opnion not a bargain but still very affordable for what you get. The housing is made of plastic but build quality is very good so I never worry it will break.
It has also a full size HDMI input accepting 4K (the monitor is FullHD) and has a HDMI output routing the input signal. (Loop-out)
The LUT6 also includes a SD card reader to import LUT files for video.
Two mouting holes are available to mount it both vertically or horizontally when you use the monitor on a fixed position.
With a large Sony NP-F type of battery (I use NEEWER) you can use the HDMI screen for almost 2 hours at full power. The build in fan can be a bit noisy but you can change the speed in the menu making it nearly silent.
It has HDR monitoring, Touch screen and build in HLG 2020, HLG 709, HLG P3 HDR 3D LUT, and Rec709 De-slog3 LUTs, includes SLOG2, SLOG3, LOGC, VLOG

Overal I am very satisfied with this HDMI monitor. It performs really well, has good color accuracy and is not to heavy.
I only wish they had a version with recording functions like a Ninja but that would make the Feelworld more expensive.
I can recommend this HDMI monitor. I am not a professional videomaker but in my opnion it can do the job. It has the most important functions you need to monitor your live video footage.
