 My Lilliput a7s has arrived and so I'm going to be unboxing it Hello, welcome to take one tech. My name is Alec and in this video I'm going to be unboxing the Lilliput a7s and I've been waiting for this to arrive It's taken a little bit longer than expected or estimated and this is going to be paired with the desview t3 Teleprompter which I did a video on just yesterday or the day before I remember I'll leave a link to it up in the top and So yeah, I'm going to use this this field monitor a 7-inch field monitor as the screen for the desview the desview is actually designed for as a teleprompter to be used with either an iPhone or an iPad something like that or a tablet Whereas I'm going to use this because it's going to give me a bit of extra functionality And I don't really need to use it as a teleprompter itself It's it's more to use for the eye contact in zoom meetings and things like that So yet going for a proper actual monitor will allow that But this video is not about how to do all of that that will be in another video and once again I have to say thanks to mr. Keith Pelzer for the recommendation of that This is going to do just the job that I wanted to do But I'm going to just do the unboxing of the a7s field monitor because obviously it is intended to be a field monitor for a camera So that is the the purpose of it So what I thought I'd do is I'll split these videos up and I'll do one where I unbox the Monitor itself and then I'll do another one where I join it together with a desview And we'll see how I go with that. So without further ado, let me come over to my top-down shot and Here we go. This is the box And if I open the box, it's nice snug fit in the box we have The actual monitor itself sitting on the top in some foam covering You take that out from there and it has got this sort of rugged case around it So it is a little bit shopproof I'm not sure you'd want to necessarily drop it, but it gives it a bit of protection at least take that out In fact, let me just slightly zoom out this scene so you can see a little bit more of well A little bit more of the mess on my desk if nothing else. So then in here, we've got a user's guide So obviously I should be reading that from cover to cover before I do anything with this And then inside we've got a cable which is a mini HDMI to HDMI Obviously to be able to just plug this into your camera to use it as a monitor I wouldn't actually be using that one because I'll be plugging this into my computer in here. We've got a few Well an allen wrench and an allen screw and then in here it does actually come with a Mount so that you can screw the monitor onto this and then this is can fit onto the the cold shoe So if you're gonna mount this on top of your camera, this is how you would do it I can even show you that with just One little screw of this in here Says not being able to screw it in properly Isn't that always the way you go to demonstrate something and then it doesn't quite work. Let me try this again This is definitely screwing in this time. I'm sure of it So there you go. We need to be using this. It's quite a good little ball joint Actually, it does feel quite quite sturdy and Quite strong as well So yet you could mount that onto the cold shoe. Where's it gone? It's the cold shoe of your camera And so that's how you would use it on there and then obviously connected up with the the cable attached But I'm not going to be using that either Just take that off for now very carefully. Obviously Now here you've got a battery pack because there is there is power will come to the connections But you've also got this if you want to use it with a battery pack then this is the adapter to use in here and Then that is where you'd be able to slot your battery in and Can't just remember the spec of the batteries So I'll have to have a look but the the operational voltage for this is seven to twenty four volts and So if you're going to use this with power Which I intend to then you will need an adapter because it doesn't actually come with a power adapter with it because Intended to be a field monitor at the end of the day used with batteries Now it's also got this which is an extra sort of shield for it So let me just show you how this fits on And as you can see it's a very quick unboxing this isn't it we're almost at the end But this has got some velcro around the edge of it and then also you'll notice inside the rubber here You've got some velcro in there and that means that you can just pop this in like this And then pop it like that and then you can see you've got a really quite a quite a large hood for it So if you're using it out in strong sunlight, you'll be able to obviously that's a lot to look clearer But I'm not going to be using that and I'm also Not actually going to be using the the rubber cover on it because I'm just going to have this mounted as I say to my Desvue T3 teleprompter much like like this So I'm just going to have to do a bit of work to get that to sit in there properly and in the right position But as I say I'll save that for the next video. Well a little slight technical issue there You won't have known anything about it, but I just pressed something wrong there and I totally screwed up my scene So anyway, let me carry on with where I left off Which was somewhere around about here. So let's have a look at the connectors that you've got on the monitor You've got a HDMI in and out and this acts as a pass-through for 4k although the resolution of the screen itself is actually 1920 by 1200 so more like the resolution of a sort of MacBook screen so not quite 1080p wide screen It's slightly deeper than that But that is the resolution of the device itself. But as I say you have got that 4k pass-through There is a headphone socket on the side as well And then also the power socket if you are going to be mounting this to as I'm going to be doing then you may Want to get one of these little angled brackets so that you can actually pass the The HDMI in my case and like that I want that going off to the back So just getting these little handy sort of L-shape connectors might be useful I'll leave a link to anything that I mentioned obviously in the description as always And then yet you've got the power in so it's DC 12 volts although it can accept up to 7 to 24 volts is the power that it can that it can accept as an input there But the actual normal operating voltage is 12 volts DC obviously So then on the other side one thing to note is actually they've got the the mounting screw there and on this side as well None on either of the other sides though and then on this side We've got a wheel which is a menu wheel. We'll see how that works I think you actually click it But we'll find out and then it's got some buttons there You've got an exit and then you've got the power button there and then this f1 and f2 Those are actually programmable buttons as far as I Remember from the documentation I've got a power source. So I'm just going to plug that into here and One of the things about this is it can actually flip the the picture So that is obviously important for teleprompting. So let me have a little look if I press this button that brings up the menu and then This is a really bad contrast, but you can see I can sort of flick through these menus and then what have we got? brightness obviously all the usual color stuff You've also got some sort of metering and things like that. Bear in mind that this is you know supposed to be used as a Field monitor on a camera. Whereas I'm just basically using it as an extra screen for my my MacBook to or my Mac to go to My teleprompter I got totally carried away there with the flicking through these menus So yeah, you have got some different things scan aspect ratio under scan Zooming things like that Look what else we've got peaking so you can this obviously got like waveforms and meters and things like that on screen as well What else do we have? Volume level and then you've got some settings in here. This is where you can configure the let's have a look language timer Image flip. So that's the one we want if I press this hopefully I can flip it backwards Don't know if you can see this so it flips from back to front But then also forwards to backwards and then the other way so you can basically flip flick it in any direction So that it works with your with your teleprompter Let me get it back to normal and then come out of that one And then we've got the back lights so you can set the brightness of the the back lights We can turn it down See how bright that can go and then you've also got the configuration of those two buttons So button one and two. So let's see what options we've got in there So the moment it is set to peaking, but you can also change exposure histogram level meter center marker and all those sorts of things so Again, I'm not going to actually be using those buttons because all I'm using it for is as a monitor extension for my desk view So that is about all I've got to say about it at the moment because I've literally just taken it out of the box So what I'll do is I'll Probably wrap up this one by saying if you found this useful and then don't forget to like and subscribe to the channel I don't really do many unboxings. That's because I've not really had much to unbox of late Everything's just sort of ticking along quite nicely as it is so but I will obviously do them as and when I get things because I do know People like to see these sorts of things So yeah, if you found it useful then subscribe to the channel and I'm going to get straight on actually with pairing this with the Desview T3 teleprompter So this just needs to go on here and I understand there is a light slight bit of modification that will be required Because the holes don't quite line up. So there we go. That's to be expected And I will I'll get that video done and then that'll probably be the next one I'll make so as soon as I've done it I will leave a link to that in the description of this video as well But for now, there's plenty more good videos coming up. You don't have to wait in for that one So have a great day and I will see you all again soon
