If you’re looking for an affordable all in one field monitor to connect to your camera then this new monitor might just be the perfect solution for you. It’s the Viltrox DC 550 Pro and for its relatively low cost it packs quite a punch!
Viltox recently sent me their new field monitor to review and on opening it I was immediately impressed by the completeness of the package.
It comes complete with a nice hard zip case, a quick release folding sun hood, tilt and swivel cold shoe mount, NPF500 battery with USB-C charging port, as well as including mini and micro HDMI cable to connect to various cameras, although not a full size HDMI cable which is a shame.
I think the quality and number of accessories included really sets this product aside from other field monitors because most come as a stand alone monitor and you then have to purchase the accessories separately.
The monitor itself is really well built, it is plastic just like most other field monitors but it feels fairly rugged, all the buttons and switches feel nice to operate and I’m confident it will withstand the general abuse of everyday use.
There are 3 versions of this monitor, the DC550, the DC 550 Lite and the DC550 Pro. This is the pro version which has all the features the product offers which includes a 1200 nit brightness display, an internal cooling fan, Touch screen control and a comprehensive selection of built in monitoring tools.
All 3 models share the same body which features 3 power options via either NPF battery, USB-C port, or DC input so there is no shortage of ways to power this thing up. The monitor also has on/off switch, 4 user programable shortcut buttons so you can easy turn on or off peaking, false colour, histograms or any other of the options the monitor offers. Also included is an SD card slot so you can load your own LUT files to the monitor, its great to see this feature included on such a budget product as until now only higher end monitors have offered this feature.
On a similar note, Im super impressed that this monitor includes a HDMI loop out port, this is really handy if you want to send a signal out to another monitor or recorder or can even be used with something like the hollyland Mars wireless transmission system to transmit to a directors monitor or livestream setup.
The monitor also has this large control dial which rotates but can also be pressed in to confirm a selection. Its a novel approach to navigating settings and works fairly well, however I personally much prefer using the touch screen to navigate and if I didn’t have the touch screen model I think I would perhaps find relying on the dial a little tricky at times.
I really like the positioning of the HDMI ports on this monitor. Most monitors place them on the side meaning you have wires jutting out awkwardly but the DC550 has them at the bottom meaning it’s much easier to route your cables and keep your setup tidy. The DC550 also has a 3.5mm audio jack for monitoring your audio.
The screen itself is full HD 1920x1080p and on the DC550 and pro versions boast an impressive 1200 nits of brightness and a powerful backlight. This is insanely bright and I’m confident this would still be usable even in the brightest of outdoor filming situations.
Tools include; Import 3D LUT files, Parade waveforms, vector scope, histogram, focus peaking, false colour, audio monitoring, image flip, anamorphic de-squeeze, grids and guides, safe zones, and the ability to pinch to zoom if you have the touch screen version.
So that’s the Viltrox DC 550 Pro, an impressively feature rich budget field monitor which I think completely kills the competition.
I’ll see you next time!
