TVLogic F7-H Mk2 as Steadicam® monitor for Zephyr and future larger rigs: brightness and color accuracy versus SmallHD 703 Ultra Bright
DisputedParticipants disagreed and reached no conclusion. Read the findings as positions, not as an answer.
What the thread found
- The TVLogic F7-H Mk2 offers brightness comparable to the SmallHD 703 Ultra Bright at approximately 3600 nits.
- Multiple operators report higher out-of-the-box color accuracy on the TVLogic F7-H Mk2 than the SmallHD model.
- Several operators found the TVLogic to be less expensive than the SmallHD 703 Ultra Bright.
- The SmallHD 703 Ultra Bright has superior user interface and software features.
- One mounting configuration uses a CamJam Yoke with an Anton-Bauer plate on the rear; an operator using this setup noted they would choose a different mounting solution in retrospect.
Depends on
- Comparison between two specific monitor models; mounting satisfaction depends on individual rig geometry and operator preference.
