Why Choose an Iris Pro LCD Monitor?
HD DSLR cameras have opened up the playing field to aspiring filmmakers. They are relatively inexpensive and require less costly video equipment while maintaining the same high quality performance as industrial tools used by professionals. As beneficial as these cameras are, they have their drawbacks. For instance, the viewfinder attached to the camera is usually no more than three inches, making it difficult to use when the camera is six feet up in the air at the end of a crane.
Iris Pro LCD Monitors are the perfect solution for transferring the viewfinder image to a larger, more viewable screen, offering up to 1280x800 native resolution with 1080p maximum resolution. A higher resolution like this is helpful when focusing on a shallow depth of field. All adjustments are visible on-screen and the monitors built-in battery allows it to run for at least five hours, making it a staple in any filmmakers toolkit. ProAm USA offers a large selection of Iris Monitors to meet every viewing need including the easily portable 7 options, the optimally viewable 10 option, plus a large selection of monitor accessories.
