AaronChicago Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 This is very appealing. Ultra thin and light. LUT support. Scopes. No word on pricing yet. https://www.smallhd.com/lp/502/?utm_source=Netsuite&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=502 announcement Nick Hughes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Hughes Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 NICE. Any wild guess on price? It's hard for me to know where this sits in relation to their other products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronChicago Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 It has all the features of the DP-7 Pro, but a 2" smaller screen. I'd guess anywhere from $1000-$1500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronChicago Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 I think the game will change when camera/accessory companies are able to make wireless bluetooth type transmissions between devices with no cords. Not talking about Teradek but internal antennas. Also an iPad type battery that's inside a monitor that will run all day, with no need for external batteries. All of this in a slim design would be killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Even a 4.3" 800x480 DP4 costs $599. How much money do they make on these things?I wish smartphones had video input options... I'm already walking around with a nice 5" 1080p screen...The SmallHD 502 on-camera monitor features a Full HD, 1920x1080 LCD display. With a pixel density greater than the iPhone 6 similar to any 5" Android smartphone in the price range of $300-500 that has been released the last few years. dahlfors 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.f.r. Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Such a shame they didn't make a competitor to the Shogun and Odyssey7Q...... I think in this day and age I need my monitors to double up as a field recorder as well. Even the Atomos Ninja Star can record to a CF Card and give you excellent quality vs in camera compression.Honestly SmallHD imho are some of the worst non accurate monitors you can use.

AaronChicago Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 I'm sure we'll be seeing slim monitor+recorder combos that will use CF for a slimmer/lighter design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagnje Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Project ara might change some things...it would be easy for some company to make a physical plug in with hdmi in, headphone out etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jax_rox Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Honestly SmallHD imho are some of the worst non accurate monitors you can use.Gotta agree. They're a nice focus/AC monitor and that's about it. I would never use one to judge colours, resolution and certainly would never let a Director see one. I've ACd for DPs and had to remind them that the image they see on the screen is not what's being recorded when they make a face at the monitor ('don't stress, your eyepiece is much more accurate').Unfortunately for me, the O7/O7q is exactly what I want, except that it cannot record the 4k output of an A7s. The Shogun can, but doesn't seem to be anywhere near as fully featured as the O7/O7q...Dilemma.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DP-7 OLEDs are really nice though. Great color and contrast. Scopes. LUTS. I love mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff CB Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Might be worth getting for a cheap LUT supported monitor for small cameras. I'm actually hoping for a sub $1000 price due to the lack of touchscreen. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to look more into the O7Q+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
