 Hey guys, so this is the Andi Cine 4K 5.5 inch IPS touchscreen on-camera monitor. It comes with an internal power kit that is attached to the back of this monitor. Let's go ahead and unbox this and see what the capabilities are of this awesome little kit. In the box you get this very nice red and black carry case with all of the relevant equipment inside. You have the user manual with warranty card and a cleaning cloth. The on-camera arm for the cold shoe mount, a sunshade clip, the sunshade itself and a HDMI to micro HDMI cable which is pretty small and it's the perfect length to attach to your camera. So this is the monitor. It looks very compact and very high quality. So let's go ahead and see what the different ports are on this device. So on the bottom right you can see that this has a USB-C charging input so you can actually power this with a USB-C powered device whether you want to plug that into a wall outlet or a plug or anything like that you can use USB-C to do that. Even a power bank would do a good enough job. You have a headphone port there as well in case you wanted to monitor the audio. You have a quarter inch screw to mount this on a tripod then you have a standard DCL charging port there as well for the device. On the left hand side you have two HDMI ports. One is HDMI in the other one is HDMI out. One thing to note is that this supports 4K HDMI input and 4K HDMI loop out then you also have a 12-volt DC input port there as well. On the top you pretty much have the standard function buttons that you get on any on-screen monitor. You have two function buttons that are customizable. You have the back and the forward buttons. You have the menu button. You have the up and down buttons to cycle through the menu and you have the power on button there. Now on the back you can also have an external battery to power on the monitor and this supports the Sony NPF series batteries as well as the Canon LPE6 batteries. There's also an additional quarter inch screw there as well to mount this in a different position. You also have a external power kit to power devices that you want to connect to the monitor and to your camera which I think is great. You don't get this on a whole lot of external monitors for your camera but this is perfect for mounting things like wireless video transmitters or external microphone kits or anything like that. Something that can be controlled from your actual camera. You can also see there's some instructions on here as if you peel this out there will be some screws underneath to take this out so this is a dummy battery. Now you have the 8-volt DC output to power your camera from this monitor but you also have the 12-volt DC in to power this monitor if you don't use a battery. What I do is I will use the Sony NPF battery to power the monitor and all I need to do is just connect the HDMI cable to my micro HDMI port on my Sony a7 III. One last bit of information about the USB-C port. Of course you can use this to power the device but this is also used to load 3D LUT files onto the monitor so that you can view and adjust them on screen and you can have a maximum of up to 32 LUT files which I think is a great touch especially if you do a lot of professional color grading in your videos. So now let's go ahead and connect this to my tripod mount this on my camera and run through the different menu items and see how the quality is off the screen. Okay guys so just before I turn on the screen just wanted to showcase you guys how I've set this up so I have the HDMI cable going into the micro HDMI port there that's the only cable that is connected. On the back of the monitor this is a RAVPOWER Sony NPF compatible battery I'll have a link in the description of where you can buy the dual battery pack to connect this as well it's very compact it lasts a very long time you can see super slim. So now what I want to do is just quickly run through the specifications of the screen itself and the quality of it before I run through the different menu items. So the screen itself has 16.7 million colors and by native design it is 1080p full HD but it supports a display of up to 4k to a maximum of 30 frames per second and it does go up to a maximum of 500 nits of brightness so if you use this outdoors I recommend using a sun shade if you are in bright sunlight now it does have 440 ppi density with a contrast ratio of a thousand to one and it also has an adjustable backlight which I'll showcase in a second as well on how to adjust and the viewing angle of this is around 80 degrees from both the left right above and below positions so that is absolutely great so let's go ahead and turn this on and I'll also turn on my camera as well there you go looks absolutely amazing so let's go through and run through the menu you can use the buttons along the top which is very common in most on-camera monitors however this is touchscreen so I'm going to try and use the touchscreen wherever possible to bring up the menu all you have to do is double tap anywhere on the screen and the menu comes up there on the left hand side so just to quickly run through some of the items I won't spend too long going through each one otherwise we'll be here for quite a long time the first one is the picture settings exposure focus histograms you can actually scroll if the menu requires it on the right hand side if it is longer than what's visible the second one is the grid and markers menu so you can change the save frames the grid sizes the markers to give you the right positioning for when you're filming the third menu is about all of the different positions of the monitor itself so you can change the aspect ratio turn anamorphic on and off you can also zoom image flip show the on-screen display and flip that zoom etc etc now one thing I'd like to mention is that if you flip this the other way so I'm going to turn this around if I wanted to flip it so I can see it from this angle by just flipping the view like that you'll notice that it doesn't change and you'll have to manually change it yourself so you can see the menu is upside down so it doesn't have that auto rotate functionality so I'll flip it back so you can see image flip is one of the options if I select that what I need to do is cycle through and it will go through the four different variations of flip until you go back you can turn zoom on and off so you can zoom in four times nine times sixteen times or off there's also an image freeze as well if you want to capture whatever is on screen the fourth menu item is the color grading one this is where you can turn the LUT switches on and off by default they come with a set of four default LUTs I've also imported a few more as you can see and I wanted to showcase you guys how to import LUTs as well and view them on the screen so that you can color grade it in post editing for your applications but all the other options here you can change the color temperatures the RGB standards and the different picture modes as well as well as the brightness and saturation depending on the mode you're on you also have the standard settings button there towards the bottom to change all of the monitor settings the volumes the signals the display times all that kind of stuff the last one is the frame button so on the top of the monitor you'll see on the left hand side you have f1 and f2 this is where you can adjust what those buttons do and it's very easy to do that so the f1 is to see my save frames f2 is the focus assist now this screen quality itself is amazing what I really wanted to do and this is one of the reasons why I've bought this is to import LUT so that I know what the image will look like if I use a specific LUT in post editing but I can see that in real-time view so to do that you need to transfer your 3d LUT files which are in .cube file extensions and you have to use the usb-c port there to import them so there's a couple of ways you can do this you can buy a usb-c to sd card adapter and then have all of your LUTs transferred onto the sd card file or what I'm doing is I have a usb stick I've put all of my .cube files in there I've got some new ones and I have a usb-c to traditional usb-a adapter which I'm just going to connect make sure it's in the root directory and make sure their file named are correctly and none of them are more than seven megabytes of file size so you need to basically tilt the monitor a little bit so you have enough space to put the usb-c in there like so and now what you have to do is go into LUT import type c at the moment you can see there's six out of 32 that are currently being used so I just need to press the right arrow it will start importing it will search the device as connected in the usb-c port if it's correct and they are correctly named correctly file size it will start importing and you'll see that number so it does a search and as you can see it's now importing the files that I have on the usb stick so there's three four five six six more LUTs I've added now I can see them if I go into LUT table these are the ones that were just imported one other thing to note I already had imported a few LUTs from before as you saw previously if you re-import some new ones it will override all of your custom imports so you make sure that if you want to reuse certain LUTs every time make sure they're always on the usb stick so that they will always be in the list otherwise all your custom ones will be overwritten so if I have five new ones I want to import next time then these six will be replaced with the other five unless I keep these six on the usb stick I'll turn the switch on first so there's one LUT that's turned on if I go back to the LUT table that's the first one s-log 2 now if I go to my first custom one you can see it's a nice black and white look and I just want to see if this works maybe I want to do a nostalgic film or anything like that and then you can cycle through all of the other custom LUTs that you have like this one that's a nice dark vignette kind of vibrant image so if I just quickly run through some others just to show you an example you can see it works very well so any type of movie looks that you want to get for your LUTs you can import and it works absolutely fine and that is one of the key standout features of this monitor however once you have finished the import if you remove the usb you'll notice that the LUT table would still keep all of your imported files from last time it's only when you add new ones it would replace it and you'll get a new list so that is amazing now there's a couple of swipe features that I really wanted to mention on the right hand side if you swipe up you can adjust the volume on the left hand side you can adjust the backlight of the monitor so if you're outdoors and you want it to be more brighter then you all you have to do is simply swipe the other good thing I like about the touchscreen is that you can also pinch to zoom so if you really wanted to focus a little bit more on the subject then you can just zoom like your smartphone and it works absolutely fine and it will zoom out maximum to the 1x level and finally guys I just wanted to showcase the viewing angles so you can go up to 80 degrees in all directions left right up down just to see that you can still see the monitor clearly so if I go around 80 degrees here you can still see the image this is pretty much 90 degrees you won't see anything but pretty much it's very clear from all viewing angles you can see it is sharp and the backlight is not even at the highest level so I'm very happy with that you can swivel this in pretty much any direction even from the top view it looks great one of the main reasons why I bought this is because of the clarity and the quality of the screen itself the ease of setup the inbuilt power kit with the dummy battery already attached to the monitor and the fact that you can output this in 4k because I am recording a lot of my footage in 4k so that's it guys I'm super happy with this purchase take a look down below where you can purchase this on amazon it comes in roughly around 200 pounds this is my go-to monitor for all of my filming now I used to use other ones in the past but this one does so much a better job than all of those previous ones don't get confused between the a6 plus and the a6 pro they are slightly different but I'll leave a link down below where you can purchase this andy sinney great company if you like this video make sure you give it a thumbs up make sure to subscribe I do a lot of camera accessory videos which I know you're going to like and I'll catch you guys next time take care
