Monitor compatibility and installation options for Pilot camera stabilizer with Sony EX-1

14 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.

What the thread found

  • The Lilliput 667 7-inch monitor can be used with a Pilot stabilizer and accepts HDMI, component, and composite inputs from a Sony EX-1.
  • The Lilliput 667 monitor requires drilling a small hole next to the 1/4-20 female mount hole to accommodate the anti-rotation pin of the Pilot's monitor mount.
  • The Lilliput 667 monitor is brighter than the original Pilot monitor but not suitable for use in direct sunlight without additional shading.
  • The Lilliput 667 monitor lacks zoom functionality and SDI input capability.
  • The Lilliput 667 monitor can flip its image for low-mode operation.
  • The SmallHD DP6 HDSDI monitor works with a Pilot stabilizer using the SD signal output from a Sony EX-1.
  • The SmallHD DP6 HDSDI can be connected using existing Pilot wiring, with HD-SDI cables routed along the stabilizer post.

Depends on

  • The Lilliput 667 monitor does not have adequate brightness for outdoor sunlight-readable operation.
  • The Lilliput 667 monitor lacks SDI input, limiting compatibility with some professional video signals.
  • Modifications to the Pilot's monitor mount are required to use the Lilliput 667.
  • Both solutions were tested in specific setups with the Sony EX-1 and may not apply universally to all Pilot configurations.
