  1. I had a few monopods made if anyone is interested. I've got a few of each 1.5" and 2" docking brackets. $500cad each. Very affordable and really well built.

  2. Hello all,

     

    There is no Transvideo 8" X-SBL at 2000 Nits. When people publish an 8" X-SBL at 2000 Nits it is actually 1500 Nits (or it is a 6"...).

    It is technically very difficult to "boost" the backlight output. You would see a noticeable increase in power draw (and heat being generated - not good). This would also result in shortening the lifetime of the backlight ( also not good).

     

    In our office we have less than 10% of 8" for 90% 6".

    Reversing the LCD: most body-rig operators like the monitor fairly flat or at a 45º angle. The X-SBL are assembled with this in mind. I would recommend to have the LCD reversed only if you shoot with the monitor upright.

     

    The 6" X-SBL actually has a 6" 16/9 HD image. The screen size is bigger than 6".

     

    I hope this is useful.

    Hi Marianne, about the screen size being 7" diagonally but not 16:9. This is the main reason i've held off buying a transvideo. There is so much dead space on the screen. The actual viewing area feels tiny. Are there plans to build a 16:9 7" display geared toward steadicam operators? Everything else about the monitor seems perfect.

     

    Thanks

  3. I realize this is a really old thread. Does anyone have the exact measurement of this post? It's a European company so I'm assuming it's a precise metric measurement not 1.8" as discussed here.

     

    Thanks
