A JVC DT-X71H monitor can be mounted on a Steadicam Pilot and operates satisfactorily when used with the original SD wiring, though HD video would technically require updated cabling.
SmallHD produces high-brightness monitors suitable for outdoor use, with newer models offering 1200 NIT brightness levels.
Powering an aftermarket monitor from the Pilot sled battery requires an adapter to convert the DC connector to a 4-pin connector, or the monitor can be run on its own battery temporarily.

The JVC DT-X71H was tested only with SD video signals rather than true HD video signals.
SmallHD's high-brightness monitor availability was delayed beyond the timeline discussed in this thread.
The original Pilot monitor's brightness specification in NITs was not confirmed in the discussion.
No successful case of upgrading the Pilot's internal wiring for full HD capability was reported.
