The SmallHD Indie 5 RED RCP2 Monitor Kit (Model 16-0525-R2) is a pint-sized powerhouse for RED KOMODO and DSMC3 camera users, offering crisp, daylight-viewable monitoring with its small size. Right now, the SmallHD Indie 5 Monitor Kit is an exciting deal at B&H Photo Video (if the price has not changed since postings were made, please see site for the latest pricing, deals usually include free shipping, warranty protection plans starting at $109.99 and other perks). The SmallHD Indie 5 Monitor Kit gives handheld filmmakers what they need in touchscreen accuracy, with total flexibility with camera control, making it a complete steal for anyone from indie creators to professionals.
At the heart of the kit is the 5" Touchscreen LCD, which is clear with a 1920 x 1080 native resolution, 1000 nits of brightness, and a 1000:1 contrast ratio—perfect for use in outdoor shoots. SmallHD provides the Indie 5 with their PageOS 5 firmware, which creates ease of use, and an assortment of pro tools, including: EL Zone Exposure Assist for precise lighting, customizable false color (configured in up to 10 IRE ranges with color assignments), waveform (Luma/RGB with ROI), vectorscope, histogram, peaking, zebra, pixel zoom (2x/4x pinch), anamorphic de-squeeze, frame guides, and LUT support via SD/USB. Audio monitoring on the Indie 5 compromises as much as 8 channels with a 3.5mm headphone jack.
Connectivity is robust with UHD 4K30 HDMI in/out, 1080p60 3G-SDI in/out, and cross-conversion from both inputs to outputs—a perfect companion for hybrid workflows. Power options include a 10-34V DC barrel input or dual L-Series batteries (a single battery is fine but two allows hot-swapping). The rugged aluminum housing weighs in at 14.4 oz and has four 1/4"-20 mounting threads for any rigging option you may need.
What makes this kit unique is the RED RCP2 upgrade: control record run/stop, exposure, color temperature, shutter, playback, and the menu system directly from the touchscreen using the included 18" EXT 9-Pin to 5-Pin USB cable and Micro-USB to 5-Pin LEMO adapter. Also included is a microfiber cloth. Note: no HDR, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth; control is only available with RED/ARRI/Sony Venice; does not work with Sony A7IV or Blackmagic.
