Description
The VZ-TFT 5.6" 4:3 monitor can be used a variety of ways, most importantly as a large external video display that allows the shooter to step back from the camera rather than standing hunched over while looking through a typically inadequate viewfinder. It can also be used as a lightweight field monitor, remote viewing display, or portable playback screen. When combined with VariZoom lens controls, you have a studio package comparable to much more expensive setups. For the greatest versatility and value, we recommend the VZ-TFT-U kit that includes all monitor accessories, including battery, shoemount, sunhood and carrying case.
