I've used and owned many field monitors over the years, from the cheap and cheerful to the more high-end, and I have developed a longing for a few things. Firstly, I hate faffing with sun hoods, as they never quite sit right, it's one more thing to pack and set up. I also really prefer something lightweight, which usually means compromising build quality or size.
My go-to for many years has been the Atomos Ninja V, a favorite of many filmmakers, thanks to its excellent build, useful tools, and versatility, with its various accessories.
