If you just bought a BlackMagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K (BMPCC 4K), let me start by congratulating you on your purchase. This is one of the best cameras for filmmakers out there. However, for a good camera and if you want to step up your game a notch, then you need an external monitor, and although the BMPCC 4K supports a variety of external monitors through its HDMI or NTSC/PAL connections, it is good practice to pick & use the best external screen for BMPCC 4K that can provide good signal output and accurate colors.
There are various benefits to using an external monitor in your video production. When compared to an on-camera LCD screen, you will be able to check out the camera’s angle from a different point of view. This gives you a wider perspective of action that is not limited by the top, side, or back of your camcorder.
Things to keep in mind when picking an external monitor:
- Why using an external monitor will make you a better Photographer/Videographer.
- Why you should have an external Monitor
- What is a good size for an external monitor
- Major Features to consider in a Monitor
Before we proceed though, let us show you our favorite choices.
