FAQ
What is a camera monitor?
A camera monitor is an external display used with cameras to provide a larger and clearer view of the footage being recorded. It is especially useful for filmmakers, videographers, and photographers who need precise framing, focus, and exposure control.
Do you really need a camera monitor?
You need a camera monitor if your camera’s built-in screen is too small, low-resolution, or difficult to see in bright sunlight. It's also essential when shooting from low or high angles, or when using gimbals, stabilizers, or camera rigs that make the built-in screen hard to view. Additionally, if you’re working with a director, cinematographer, or focus puller who needs to monitor the shot in real time, an external monitor becomes a crucial tool.
Can you use your laptop as a camera monitor?
You can use your laptop as a camera monitor, but the method depends on your camera and available connections. If your camera has an HDMI output, you can connect it to your laptop using an HDMI to USB capture card. Some cameras support USB webcam mode using manufacturer software.
