All 3 monitors will be presented at the NAB show in Las Vegas. Let’s have a closer look! Portkeys, a Chinese manufacturer of monitors, EVFs, and other film accessories, is known for creating innovative on-camera monitors with aggressive price/feature ratios. Good examples are the Portkeys BM5 III WR which can control a RED Komodo, and their LH5P monitor, which is under $400 and also supports camera control. Another example would be the Portkeys PT5 5″ on-camera monitor that retails for just $169. Portkeys LH7P – 7″ wireless camera control monitor Let’s start with the LH7P monitor that handles HDMI input/output signals only. It is a 7″ 1920×1080 touchscreen on-camera monitor with built-in Wi-Fi that allows you to wirelessly control Sony and Blackmagic cameras.

For a video signal, you will still need a cable between your camera and the monitor.
