I’m very much using it as a basic external monitor, especially with my Canon 5DS, which whilst it may record just fine at HD, has a screen that just isn’t big enough – especially with my need for strong glasses for close viewing. Whilst it comes with a detachable monitor hood, you might want to consider a higher brightness model.

Feelworld FW568 Controls

There is a row of buttons along the top. The power button at the right switches everything on. In this case it’s powered by the Sony NP-F570 style battery clipped on the back.

There are a lot of functions, but you can save a selection as pre-sets for the F1,3 buttons on top.

The battery just clips on if you press the button above it.

I note though that the battery socket also accepts the same LP-E6 batteries used in my Canon 5Ds.

The battery supplied has a USB socket for easy charging [note the four dots which if you press the button, light up to show charge level]

The device draws some power, even if off. The front power indicator light is red if a battery is attached. Presumably this helps you remember to remove the battery when not in use.

Simple [full size] HDMI in and out sockets. The screen comes with an HDMI cable, but it’s a Full->Micro one and my cameras have mini HDMI.

The basic power in here is 12V, but there is a USB C socket underneath which can power the screen, as well as be used for flash drives for firmware or LUT updates.

Using the screen

As I said, there are a lot of functions…

Most useful for my setting up are the waveforms – this is the whole lot – you can just select what you want.

Focus peaking, whilst working with interface elements, was a bit too imprecise with images via the lens.

The mounting bracket is not meant for robust use.

It worked fine until I wanted to adjust the angle of the arm on the hot shoe. Loosen this and you will need an Allen key to tighten it.

The actual side [and bottom] attachment points for the monitor [1/4″ screw] are much more solid. As with any use outdoors, I suspect you’d want a more solid rig to attach your screen.
