Cinetronic HB 6.5" monitor performance and customer service experience
15 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- The Cinetronic HB 6.5" monitor delivers clear HD image output suitable for professional aerial camera work on stabilized rigs.
- When the HD board failed during a shoot, the manufacturer provided a backup unit via overnight shipping and accepted the defective unit for repair the same way.
- The monitor's HD board failure could be worked around by routing an analog signal through a decimator for SD-mode operation.
- Repairs to the monitor were completed and returned within approximately two days.
- The monitor maintains image clarity across varying brightness levels and offers good viewing angles.
- Technical support responses were received within minutes to two hours when issues were reported.
Depends on
- The experience is based on use with an Alexa camera on a specific PRO HD sled setup.
- Only two specific failure scenarios are documented in the thread.
- The timeframe for this discussion is 2011, so monitor technology and support practices may have evolved since then.
