Very Good
Light, Very Good Quality, you can control A lot cameras with this

Great monitor for a camera.
Great monitor for a camera. I gave it 4 stars only because the camera controls are not fully functional. I hope this will be fixed in future firmware. But overall everything is good.

Fantastic screen
Very pleased with this little fella. Use it on my b cam, a bmpcc4k – it’s brilliant for gimbals with the bluetooth camera control and can be powered from a dtap. The screen is great and on smaller cameras, this is the perfect size. It’s plenty bright enough too and sharp enough for focussing from. I’ve already got a portkeys as my directors monitor but this new one is better quality with a metal body. If I ever manage to move on from gemini to raptor, I’d definitely look at portkeys again, the 7″ monitors are just too big for raptor or komodo. One issue to note though – a problem on blackmagic’s end rather than portkeys, is that it doesn’t automatically re link when you power off and on again. Apparently, something needs updating at BMD’s end to make this happen.

Quality screen let down by poor software
This feels like a quality monitor with a solid metallic frame build. The screen is very bright (although no way to be sure it hits the 2200 nits it claims). The problem is the software.The UI is clunky at best. To access menus you either swipe up, down, left it right depending what you want to access, but only after you press the screen first. This action takes you out of full screen viewing mode, shrinking the display so the icons can appear. This is extremely annoying as it reduces the effective screen size to probably around 4-4.5″.Other monitors if you want to enable/disable features you can just press the button and it’s done. No loss of screen size, no need to go into an additional menu to activate (yes, some items you have to do this). You even have options in the menu for transparency but this makes no difference as there’s no image behind the buttons. Going into the menus also does black out the screen for a fraction of a second. That annoyed me.I also came across a bug, a significant one. When you first turn on the monitor, when in picture settings you can alter things like brightness, contrast, sharpness. However, you’ll only see these once. Once you start going through the menus, these options will never appear again and you’ll need to reset the monitor. And no, it’s not just a case of swiping a menu bar because they are hidden, no they literally aren’t there.Overall in use, I did have some issues with sharpness – everything seemed a bit soft. I did try to correct this in the field but because of the picture settings bug, I couldn’t access the right screen until I got home and reset the monitor.Using the camera control was okay for the A7S III, the main reason I bought it. The touch focus though the only mode I could get it in was touch tracking, regardless of the focus mode I was in. Not ideal in all situations.I’ve sent this monitor back. Maybe after a few more firmware updates it might be decent but right now, it’s a tad annoying to use for any length of time.

Deutsch :Ich habe den Portkeys LH7P schon oft im Einsatz gehabt und mir nun endlich meinen eigenen zugelegt – einfach, weil ich ihn für den besten Kameramonitor halte, den ich bisher benutzt habe.Er ist superhell, kompakt gebaut, extrem übersichtlich im Menü und lässt sich schnell und intuitiv anpassen. Alle Anschlüsse liegen auf der Unterseite – kein Kabelsalat an der Seite – was generell praktisch ist. Doch was für mich den Unterschied macht: Auf der rechten Seite befindet sich zusätzlich ein Schraubgewinde, sodass man den Monitor perfekt auch für vertikale Setups nutzen kann – ideal, wenn man viel vertikal dreht.Die konfigurierbaren Tasten oben am Monitor sind Gold wert – so kann ich mit einem Klick Focus Peaking oder die Waveform aktivieren, ohne erst durchs Menü zu müssen. Und die Touchfunktion ist nicht nur angenehm, sondern richtig smart: Ich kann meine A7S III direkt über den Monitor steuern – ISO, Weißabgleich, Blende, alles. Ich muss nicht mehr auf das kleine Kameradisplay schielen, sondern kann entspannt auf dem Portkeys alles im Blick behalten und anpassen.Die Aufnahmeanzeige mit dem roten Rahmen oben und unten ist für mich ein kleines, aber superwichtiges Feature – ich weiß einfach sofort, ob aufgenommen wird. Kein Rätselraten mehr.Ein weiterer Riesenvorteil ist der LUT-Support. Ich kann größere LUTs mit mehr Tiefe laden, vorab Looks designen und direkt on Set sehen, wie mein Material in der Post aussehen wird.Der Monitor kommt in einem kleinen, gut gepolsterten Case – schützt super beim Transport. Ein Mount für den Zubehörschuh ist dabei, aber ich nutze lieber einen Ari-Locating-Mount an meinem Top-Handle. Praktisch ist es trotzdem, beide Optionen zu haben. Auch HDMI-Kabel, USB-Stick für LUTs und sogar zwei matte Schutzfolien sind dabei.Einziger kleiner Kritikpunkt: Der Lüfter ist im Standby recht laut. Aber sobald die Aufnahme läuft, wird er automatisch leiser – was mir sehr wichtig ist.Für mich ist das Gesamtpaket absolut überzeugend. Ich gebe volle Punktzahl.⸻English :I’ve worked with the Portkeys LH7P many times before and finally decided to get one for myself – simply because I think it’s the best camera monitor I’ve used so far.It’s super bright, compact, and the user interface is very clear and intuitive. All the power and HDMI ports are located on the bottom – no cable mess on the sides – which is generally a great design. But what really makes the difference for me is the threaded mount on the right side of the monitor. That makes it super easy to rig vertically – a huge plus when shooting vertical content.The customizable function buttons on the top are brilliant – I can quickly toggle things like waveform or focus peaking without digging through menus. And the touchscreen isn’t just responsive – it’s smart: I can control my A7S III directly from the monitor. ISO, white balance, aperture, shutter speed – all adjustable right there. No more squinting at the tiny camera screen.Another great feature: the red recording frame on the top and bottom edges of the screen. I always know when I’m recording – no second-guessing or missed takes.LUT support is also excellent. I can load large, detailed LUTs, design looks ahead of time, and accurately monitor them on set – a big advantage for dialing in exposure and color.It comes in a nicely padded little hard case, which protects it perfectly. It also includes a cold-shoe swivel mount, though I personally prefer using an Ari-locating pin mount on my top handle. Still, having both options is great. HDMI cable, USB stick for LUTs, and even two matte screen protectors are included.Only minor downside: the fan can be a bit loud when the monitor is in standby. But during recording, it automatically quiets down – which is super important to me.All in all, this monitor ticks every box for me. Full rating, no hesitation.

I’m a commercial director filming for brands like adidas and Derrick Rose. I have a run and gun shoulder rig and needed a monitor that would pair well with my Sony a7iv. I love love love this monitor! Easy to use and connect. I can control my camera settings from the monitor easily without having to pull my camera off my shoulder. So good for the price. Screen is really bright and clear as well. I film outdoors on the go and have never had issues seeing the screen, not even remotely close to having difficulty in the brightest of scenarios.

Franchement j’ai profité de l’offre prime day, et je recommande ce magnifique moniteur, il possède tout, il est très grand, et moins cher qu’un atomos qui est plus petit.
