If you’re a filmmaker of any type, from an enthusiastic hobbyist to a pro, then a field monitor is one of those items you will need at some point. Most likely fairly early on in your gear acquisition. They make all kinds of tasks that much more comfortable, or even possible. Everything from composition to exposure and focus is much easier on a larger, adjustable screen. The size makes a difference, as does viewing angle. Although flip-out screens are good for casual use, they are mostly too small for serious use and are always attached to the camera body.
Viltrox has a number of field monitors in its lineup, and I’ve looked at some of their others, like the Viltrox DC-L2, which I rated highly, so I wondered what this DC-A1 would offer that is different. Turns out quite a bit.
