Great addition to my kit!

I was tempted to buy the expensive monitors but something told me that it might not be the best investment for me. I am not into video, yet, but it seemed like a good idea to buy a monitor because it would help me focus and would be more comfortable to use my R5. And it does do those things, but I am not sure it would work out for me on a professional gig, I think I'd end up ripping it off after 20 minutes of still photography.The primary reason is that it's slow to change from live view to image review. If you want to chimp a little you have to be prepared for the monitor to take a while to switch over to slide show, then you have to wait a while for it to switch back to live view. I didn't time it but it was at least ten seconds. I would have been very frustrated by this delay on a job.You could argue I shouldn't be chimping, and you're right - but sometimes you need to be 110% sure you got a shot and that it's not secretly blurry or out of focus, so I chimp. We all do, don't lie.I am still giving it five stars though because I think most people would want this thing for video, and wouldn't use it for still photography. And for video this thing is well worth the money. I could totally see where the focus tools and histogram would totally come in handy and make your job easier.The lack of a touch screen didn't bother me as much as I thought it would - and the complaints about poor build quality on the joy stick were not as much of a big deal for me. I kind of appreciate that it's all plastic, it's making the unit much lighter than I think it would be, so all good.One drawback that is not Osee's fault - you can't control the canon r5 with the monitor. I think you can do that with some competing monitors on a Nikon, but not a Canon. Also, as soon as the monitor starts up the canon R5 screens and viewfinder go blank. This means no more moving the focus point my touching your screen.If you are trying to figure out if you want a field monitor, this is a good place to start. Plenty useful and has all the tools you'll need with out breaking the bank.All in all, it's am impressive piece of kit for $145 and it will live, mostly unused, in my camera bag forever or until i get into video.

Easy to use

The advertisement was not lying when it said outdoor use, I have been able to use it several times in direct sun and I am able to clearly see what I am recording. I will say it was a long and difficult process to use the menu to get it connected properly to my canon eos r. I spent about 2 hours just tinkering with settings to get it to work properly but after that bit of setup I’ve not had any more issues and it’s been basically plug and play. For the price I highly recommend.

I had high hopes for this. I used it 4 times. Worked great until the case cracked. Now I can't tighten the monitor so I can see it what I'm shooting. The monitor swings freely.I'm not a professional videographer now but was years ago. This would not last in a professional environment.

Great for the price. Bright in daylight

I do quite a lot of shoots, and it gets difficult straining your eyes on the small camera monitor over time. And I wasn't looking for anything crazy like the Atomos Ninja V with a bunch of features. So I gave this a try, and for the most part, I'm really satisfied with what it has done.Most of the features it offers are already listed, but having the false color and LUT input feature was really a game changer and helped me envision a lot of what I was shooting. The menu system is pretty easy and straightforward, through the control of one joystick, and it's convenient that it comes with a mount for your camera already.The only cons there are really are that the protector to block out any sun is pretty flimsy, and I don't use it at all, and over time I had to replace the HDMI cord that came with it (but that's expected with wear and tear). And additionally, my monitor has a slight light bleed through it, but barely noticeable and it's still hard to complain about, considering the price point.It's a 5 for me considering that every other monitor is crazy expensive out there, and I definitely think that if you're a beginner or looking for a budget monitor for your camera, this has to be a consideration.

For the price, you really won't find anything out there that can compare to this monitor.The image quality is great, and bright outdoors, it also comes with all the cables and mounting accessories most people will need.Pros:Affordable / PriceBrightLots of included accessoriesGreat customer service at OSEEFull-size HDMI InputsWorks with Sony NP BatteriesLight-weightEasy-to-useSide mounting connection 1/4 20 (Standard) for PortraitBottom mounting connecting 1/4 20 (Standard) for LandscapeGreat confidence monitor on setYou can add Luts (Major need for those shooting with BMD, RED, Alexa, Etc. cameras who use Butter LUTs)Scopes (Also a big plus for those on cameras that don't have Scopes built into their camera settings)Includes Hot Shoe Mounting AccessoryIncludes SunshadeCons:Plastic housing, but also is a pro because it keeps this monitor incredibly lightFor under $200 you honestly will not find a monitor this good that can compete with the OSEE T5, I absolutely love this monitor and I suggest if you do get one and plan to use it as a field monitor get a good Hard/Travel Case with foam, make sure you treat it well and it should last you years.
