After integrating this field monitor into my photography setup, I find it to be a solid piece of kit with a few quirks. The standout feature is definitely the bright HD screen, which makes composing shots effortless, even on sunny days. I've been using it with my Canon R3 while shooting outdoor family events, and the image clarity is superb. The touchscreen responds smoothly, enhancing the overall experience.However, the build quality leaves a bit to be desired. The cold shoe pivoting bracket provided was quite stiff, so I had to replace it with a more flexible one. Also, it would have been helpful if a standard HDMI to HDMI cable were included – acquiring an appropriate cable separately was a slight nuisance. Despite these minor drawbacks, the vast array of monitoring tools like focus peaking and false colour are invaluable, significantly improving my workflow. In the end, it's a worthwhile investment for serious photographers looking to elevate their craft.

The screen is a perfect size for handheld filming in multiple lighting conditions. Touch screen controls and side scrolling knob make navigation through setting easy. Comes with most everything you need except micro HDMI to HDMI cable. I’d recommend purchasing the larger battery pack as well. It has multiple functions you’d expect like luma and gamma viewing, zebra and red light options as well as loadable luts. Great price, light enough to carry around all day without feeling cheap and easy to break. Would definitely recommend.

So I ordered this monitor because I wanted an inexpensive replacement for a shoot and this actually looked like on I really liked. I ordered it and it came in fast and I was really impressed with the build quality. Even the battery was a higher quality battery. I loved everything about this purchase. I adjusted the colors on the monitor to match what I had on my camera, properly stored it in camera case and went to my first shoot with it a few days later. I was so shocked and upset when the monitor decided not to connect to my camera…AT ALL. On the day of my shoot! This monitor looks good, feels good, build quality seems good but if you’re looking for a quality DEPENDABLE monitor, this isn’t the one. And I’m literally just out of my 30 days so I’m stuck with a broken monitor. Literally wasted my money trusting this. DO NOT!!!

The VILTROX DC-550 Pro is a solid choice for monitoring your camera shots. The 5.5-inch 4K display is sharp and bright, even in sunny conditions thanks to the included sunshade hood. The 1200 nits brightness and 160° wide view angle make it easy to see your footage from different angles. It was uncommon I could not see the screen during the day, especially with the hood (score!).The touchscreen is handy for quick adjustments, and the 3D LUT and peaking focus assist are good, not great, for getting accurate colors and focus - for the price point, pretty impressive honestly. It has both DC 12V and Type-C 5V inputs, which is super flexible for powering up.Pros: • Bright and clear 4K display • Handy touchscreen • Sunshade included • Wide viewing angle • Good focus assist featuresCons: • Touchscreen can be a bit too sensitive • A bit bulky for some setupsOverall, it’s a reliable monitor that’s packed with features, making it a good pick for both bright and dim shooting conditions.I hope you enjoyed this review!

I had to get a replacement external monitor and I am not disappointed. This works great, easy to setup, connects quickly, and best of all the batteries from the other monitor works with this so I don't need to buy additional batteries. The Jupio NP-F970 Lithium-Ion Battery Pack (7.2V, 7400mAh) fits this and is an extended life battery. The battery that comes with the monitor is just okay. I like that it comes with a battery and a very well built storage case.I had zero problems getting this connected to my Canon T7i and set up was easy. I record worship service for posting online and needed an external monitor and this fit the bill perfectly. Picture quality is great. Recommend if you are looking for an external monitor that won't break the bank and comes with everything you need including a battery.

Ich habe mir den VILTROX DC-550 Kamera Monitor für meine Sony Alpha 6000 gekauft und bin äußerst zufrieden mit dem Kauf. Der Monitor funktioniert einwandfrei und ließ sich problemlos mit dem mitgelieferten Adapter an meiner Kamera montieren.Besonders beeindruckend finde ich die Möglichkeit, eigene LUTs auf den Monitor hochzuladen und diese live anzuzeigen. Dies ist eine Funktion, die meine Sony Alpha 6000 allein nicht bietet, und es erleichtert mir die Arbeit erheblich, da ich Farbkorrekturen und -anpassungen in Echtzeit sehen kann.Der große Bildschirm des VILTROX DC-550 ist ein weiterer Pluspunkt. Er bietet eine klare und detaillierte Darstellung, was beim Fokussieren und bei der Bildkomposition sehr hilfreich ist. Die Bildqualität ist hervorragend, und die Bedienung des Monitors ist intuitiv und benutzerfreundlich.Alles in allem bin ich sehr zufrieden mit dem VILTROX DC-550 und kann ihn jedem empfehlen, der einen zuverlässigen und funktionalen Kamera Monitor sucht. Ein tolles Produkt zu einem fairen Preis!

I love this monitor. It makes seeing what I shoot so much clearer and better. The monitor has a plastic built and it feels like if you drop it you can break it. I still think this is worth the money. You get a lot of options and you can also adjust color and temperature of it, it’s amazing. It is not crazy heavy but it does have some weight and the battery life isn’t the best. I don’t think this has lasted me more than 2 hours

All monitors like this suffer from the same issues, a bit of a lag, extra weight, fan noise etc. And I really hate having the cables attach from the camera to the monitor. This one does all that is advertised and it is essential to have a monitor like this if you are looking to nail focus. No focus peaking or other crap is going to do it as well.

Adorei o VILTROX DC-550 Pro! Este monitor oferece uma qualidade de imagem impressionante com a resolução 4K, ideal para quem trabalha com gravação de vídeo e precisa de um monitor preciso para visualização em tempo real. A tela tátil facilita o uso e torna a navegação pelos menus super intuitiva, o que é uma enorme vantagem durante as gravações, pois permite ajustes rápidos sem perder tempo.Além disso, o suporte para 3D LUT e as ferramentas de assistência de foco e exposição são excelentes para garantir que as filmagens tenham o aspeto perfeito. A qualidade de construção é robusta, mas o monitor continua leve, o que facilita o transporte e montagem em diferentes câmaras.Recomendo muito este monitor para videógrafos profissionais que buscam um monitor fiável e com boa qualidade de imagem!
