 Hey what's up guys welcome to Trending Reviews. So if you're watching this video then you're probably aware of the FieldWorld F5 so you might be watching this because you're thinking about buying one or maybe you've already bought one and you want to know how to set this up and get it working with your SLR cameras. Now I won't go into too much detail about what this is, you probably have done your research but just to give you a quick overview it's a 5 inch HD monitor for your DSLR cameras so if you're planning to go outdoors for your shooting, for your photography, for your videos then you might have a camera that doesn't have a flip-out screen for you to actually see yourself. Or if you want to get a larger viewport of all your videos and all your photos that you're taking outdoors then this might be the best option for you. Now this comes in at about just under 140 pounds on Amazon, I'll have a link in the description below where you can buy one of these. Now I'm going to show you everything that comes in the box and then show you how to set it up and then give you an overall review of how my experience has been in using this so let's just get straight into it. In the box you have the F5 monitor, you've got a cold shoe mount, it's actually 360 degrees spin on it so you can actually change this to any angle that you like. You also get a mini HDMI cable to connect this to the monitor and then you also get a sunscreen shade that you can mount onto this via the Velcros that's there just along the edges of the actual screen and this whole thing is made of Velcro as well. That's the only thing that comes in it, you also have a user guide to give you some tips on how to set this up. Now there's a few ports that come on this so you have obviously the mount connecting port there which is connected to the monitor. At the bottom you have the DC out cable so you can get some power going out of this into any other device or if you wanted to just connect this via a outlet plug you'll also have to purchase that separately. You also on the sides here you have the DC in, you also have the HDMI in and the HDMI out as well so depending on where you want to display the screen you can actually put the HDMI cable into the relevant ports here. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to be giving you the HDMI in because I'm going to be displaying my camera onto the screen here and showcasing this in terms of what most of you would be buying this for is actually using this as a secondary screen to your DSLR screen. Now finally just before I go into how to set this up I'm going to tell you a few things that you need to actually buy for your camera to actually make this work so obviously this doesn't come with any power the first thing is you need to get some power for it. So what you need to do there's a port at the back here where you can slip some batteries. I have these ones here. This is the RAVPower Saviour F550 battery pack. It's compatible with a lot of the Sony cameras so there's a multiple option of cameras that this will work with. I'll leave a link in the description and below where you can buy this and have a look at the complete list of compatible cameras. So my Sony a7 III has the FZ100 battery in there. Now the port behind the F5 screen here is compatible with multiple battery packs for both Sony, Canon, Panasonic and Nikon cameras. So you can actually find a link of all of those where you can purchase these below as well but I've specifically am going to be using the Sony ones. So the F970 battery port here is compatible with the F550 pack that I've purchased from RAVPower. These are both 2900mAh of battery power each so that will give me about three to four hours depending on usage of continuous battery life to power the monitor. Now the last thing I want to do is obviously I want this monitor to be powering my camera as well. So what I'm going to do is buy a dummy power which is this one here. So this is basically a dummy battery. It's plastic. There's actually no power in it but this is where you connect the DC input and onto the monitor there. So this will be there just on the outside onto the DC in section there. Now I'll have that connected and this will go into my camera so that everything that I'm seeing from the camera can be displayed directly onto the screen. So this is where it will be connecting and powering both devices at the same time. So let me connect all of the pieces and show you guys how to do that. Okay guys so now I have the dummy battery right in there. So this dummy battery actually comes at just under 28 pounds on Amazon. Again I'll have the link in the description below but it is compatible with the Sony FZ100 battery packs. So what I need to do now is connect this to the DC input. So just on the left of the monitor. Gonna connect that in there. Now like I mentioned this can rotate. What this doesn't do is if you rotate it the screen itself that's being displayed on there will not automatically adjust as well. So you have to manually change that in the settings. Or what I prefer is if you just want to change this around. So this is if you're filming yourself and you want to see it on a live screen but if you're filming yourself and you want to see it like a selfie mode I would suggest just turning it around and just putting that in place. It'll be so much easier. Now let me just quickly show you about this battery pack here. Gonna take one of these round cow batteries and I'm gonna slot that in there. You just hold down the bottom push that in and it's in. So for your reference I'm gonna turn this back around. You can see that the screen is now turned on. So that battery pack is powering the monitor that I've got behind this. Now what I want to do is display my Sony a7 free screen right onto the monitor there. So I need to get the mini HDMI cable. What I'm gonna do is put it into the HDMI input there and the other end into my camera's mini HDMI port. So now everything is all connected. I'm ready to shoot videos and see it onto the f5 screen. So let me go ahead and turn my camera on. As you can see it's now switched over and it's being displayed on there. Now I'm gonna move this on around. There's no lag. It's pretty clear. It's just a larger version of this but the primary reason I would use this is if I wanted to turn it around and actually see myself when I'm recording videos or shooting some pictures as well to see how they come out. You have an option here that comes up saying the operation and safety of this battery is not guaranteed. It's just a bit of security measure because this camera is not really made for dummy batteries because the power is coming from elsewhere but if you just select okay you can continue using it. And then this sunshade you can basically just click that on using the velcro and it's very easy. So if it's very bright and sunny outside it'll give you a clearer view of looking at all of your pictures through this viewport. So I'll take that off for now. I'm gonna take a quick picture as well show you how quickly the shutter speed is with this monitor. It's instant. It's in real time. If I go back to play now you can see there's a slight lag between playing the pictures that I've taken. It's taking a few seconds which obviously isn't great but it took a while. If I only got there then you can see it. So I'm hoping the speed on this can be improved in future models perhaps in the other field word monitors that this may be fixed but as you can see here's some samples I've just taken and if I just go back going back to the camera view again it just took a few seconds there but finally got there in the end. So it's very crisp it's very clear it does shoot in 4K but only up to 30 frames per second. If you wanted to get the updated version of this I'll recommend you going for the MA5 or the Master 5 model. Now what that does is that comes with an additional micro HDMI cable as well as a carry case but the screen is 30% brighter and the refresh rate and the difference between the camera and the monitor is 10 milliseconds quicker. So those are the only difference with the Master 5 and the F5 models. I've seen people asking these questions online so that is the primary difference but nonetheless this is how it works and overall I would say the whole package it comes up just under 200 pounds so that includes the field word F5, the dual battery pack for the actual monitor and the dummy battery for Sony cameras. So all of the links in the description below for all of the purchases that you can make to make this work. Now a quick run through of the menu. Okay and finally guys I'm just going to give you a quick run through of what the menu looks like and the options that come in here. So along the top you have some buttons so what I'm going to do is quickly just show you what those buttons are. So you have the function 1, function 2, left and right, menu button down and up and the power button as well. So let me quickly show you what comes in the menu options so if I press menu now there's a few settings there along the top. So the first one is picture settings you can see that you can adjust the brightness, the picture mode, contrast saturation, color temperatures and so on. So let me show you an example if I go down. Picture mode is on standard by default. I can change that to mild, user or dynamic so you can change how the screen looks in terms of displaying those pictures. Now if I do change it to user that means I can adjust this manually so if I go down I can change the brightness, the contrast saturation all myself by default they're all set to 50, the sharpness is 15 and then the color temperature you can also adjust that as well. If I hit menu it goes back to the top one. Next it's the main settings so you can change here the language, the aspect ratio of the screen, the signal that this can come with, the backlight refresh rate. You can also reset the screen from here as well just to see what the latest version firmware is on there. This is basically the zoom options so you can go down see what types of different zoom modes there are and scan modes and obviously if you turn zoom on then you can adjust all of the other settings in there. Now these are the advanced settings so you can change here the markers, the frames, the grids and this is where you can also change the image flip so you can turn the screen a certain way if you wanted to flip the screen from there it will keep it at the same visibility viewport right now but if I turn it like this way so it faces the selfie way then the screen wouldn't have flipped so I'd have to manually flip it for the settings at this stage. The last one is where you can adjust what the function buttons do so function one shows you the histogram I can change that for it to actually do different things so I can select that manually. There's plenty of options in there I would maybe set function 1 to image flip so that would make it easier there we go and then function 2 I would maybe change that to maybe change that to zoom there we go and now if I come out the menu if I press function 1 you can see the image is flipped the other way press it again it's flipped the other way again upside down and flipped horizontally and then back to normal so there's two levels of flip is both vertical and horizontal as well but that pretty much covers everything on the f5 screen you can also see the battery percentage there on the top right hand side just to keep an eye of how much battery life is left on the monitor not the camera so that's everything I wanted to show hopefully that was very useful for you guys if there's any other questions you have on using this or how to set it up or if there's anything you want me to specifically test on this f5 monitor then do drop a comment below otherwise I hope that was useful I hope you guys subscribe and I will catch you guys at the next one take care
