New very affordable and feature packed Ikan VL5 monitor

danyyyel

Ikan is releasing the Ikan VL5 monitor. It seems to have a very complete feature set compared to the 5' Lilliput for example with peaking etc, for less than $ 300 at Bhphotovideo (I say bh because the list price is $ 349 on Ikan website). it seems only to lack 1.1 and false color.

Do you have a link to complete specifications?

It is also interesting how peaking is implemented.

Deep breath. And reread your own

topic from the start again :-)
It'll help.

Another day going without spending

@Stonebat
You need one! And if you don't get it right now, who knows, the price might go up once Ikan sees how underpriced they are. And what if they go out of stock? Don't take a chance Stonebat. Go go go!!!

I have a shoot on the 25 and 26th of August, if B&H could get it to me, I'd order it. Looks perfect for me.

299 at B&H. 7-14 day ship time :-( Might get one to compare to the sony I have now.....

@Nino_Ilacqua Will you tell us how well it performs in a sunlight and otherwise outdoors whenever you get a chance?

Any preference for batteries for this, Sony, Panny, or Canon?

Nino_Ilacqua

I will post my impressions as soon as it arrives. BTW, B&H says they have in stock the GH2 battery from Panasonic: I ordered 2 of them, but I wonder if it is true that they are really in stock...

@Nino_Ilacqua Hi Nino, any feedback from you about the monitor, until now I can't see any review on this monitor.

Would be interesting to know if the peaking is better then on the availabkle models.

Feedback?

imdjay

just came across this, i think im tempted enough to pull the trigger and try it out.

@Nino_Ilacqua any updates on this? or does anyone else have any reviews / experience with this monitor and the Gh2?

Thanks! Apart from the obvious resolution difference I wonder what differences this monitor has as compared with the smallHD dp6

Howdy, Stranger!
