Unpacking and reviewing on-camera monitor Feelworld F5
Jun 27, 2019
It is really with it in my opinions and I think every filmmaker/content creator should at least have something like this in their gear bag.

The FEEIWORLD F5 moniotor is absolutely amazing! I was really shocked by the quality for the price of this Monitor. I do filmmaking and fitness videos and having this little monitor on top of my camera to allow me to view with full hd screen and make sure my subjects are in focus is really something i need for the longest time. I love this monitor, it is also the perfect go to monitor when it comes to travel. The menu settings are easy to get around. The colors on the monitor are pretty decent. 
The cord it comes with is pretty sturdy and has some heft to it, so I would suggest purchasing a springy cord or one of those special flat cables if you're going to use it with a gimbal rig. It offers many convenient features, such has screen flipping, false colors, a live histogram, and some other doo-dads.
I found the screen flipping to be very convenient for myself since I prefer to use my Ronin-M in the upright mode, which makes me film upside down. So I'm able to vertically & horizontally flip the monitor so that what I see on the monitor, is what I'll see in post when I flip the footage. Would highly suggest it if you're doing small-time filming.

This thing is lighter and brighter than my Fine HD VS2. As for the polarization it does ok, I shot myself outside being back lit and it was really reflective but had the setting sun shining directly into it. The sun hood material isn't much but I really like how it feels and how it attaches. Since it's marketed as having a ton of ways to mount it (horizontally and vertically) I was worried that the image flip would be weird (the VS2 mirror flipped which sucked on a steadicam) but it flips a full 360 degrees with 4 settings so it actually works great no matter what way you orient it on your rig.
