Cheap External Monitor For Canon 7D And DSLR Video
Loading...
Uploaded by TheRenderQ on Feb 7, 2011
http://therenderq.com I'm using a portable DVD player as an external monitor on my Canon 7D. I demonstrate one thing to watch out for but all in all, it works fine. I compiled a list of DVD players with video input on my blog if you're looking for a cheap external monitor alternative for DSLR video. Here's where the list can be found:

I noticed that you're using this for rviewing you videos, but can it be used to view picture taken out in the field?

Usually these have really small resolution (~ 480*234) can't control small DOF. :(

@Jesslayc Using a DVD player as an external monitor should work on a Nikon as well as long as there is an analog video output (which it should). I've never used a Nikon to shoot video so I can't give you a definite answer. An easy way to test this on a Nikon (before you get a portable DVD player) is to hook your camera up to a regular TV and see if you get an image on your TV.

Ughh just tried it with my DVD player but it didnt work. Used the barrel connector and with both yellow cables. It even has the AV In and AV Out ports but for some reason it keeps saying "NO AV In". WTF??! It's a 7" TFT Monitor Portable DVD Player MODEL: MDP - 1760. Used the Canon t2i.

@PioneersProductions I wonder why its not working? Looks like you're connecting the yellow cable to the yellow cable. Can you get the NTSC output of your T2i to a regular monitor like an LCD TV using the Canon AV cable just to check it out? Maybe there's a problem with the cable that goes into your DVD player? Does your DVD player use the same cable for output? Maybe connect the DVD player to a TV also and make sure it's not that cable. Hopefully you find out what's wrong!
