Over the years I’ve owned, rented, tested and reviewed countless field monitors and they really are not made equally. The difference in build quality, feature sets and even things like the GUI is huge but I have noticed over the last couple of years, the gaps are decreasing, with some more wallet friendly options delivering refreshingly good options. This is fantastic for user, as competition can only do good. Viltrox has been around quite some time and this isn’t their first foray into the field monitor market, so I was keen to find out if their latest offering, the DC0L1 and DC-L2 continue the trend for attainable quality filmmaking gear.
The two models are essentially identical, with the only difference being the addition of SDI ports on the DC-L2. With that in mind I’m going to focus on that one, just remember that if you are planning to adopt an SDI workflow and this ends up on your shopping list.
