Wireless DSLR external monitor

Hi everyone,

 

I just came across this on the planet 5D website, I was wondering if this photographer's system could be a good "cheap" option for video assist.

It seems to me that I could get the SD signal out of my monitor into that little wireless. May be good for focus puller.

Check it out:

you can find something like that at Fry's or Wal Mart

 

And they have warranties

 

The SD output is not much good for focus pulling. Remember that the image is already shrunk down from full-screen to letter/pillarboxed, and SD to boot, so you are looking at just a few hundred lines of resolution. It's extremely difficult for the focus puller to find "sharps", especially in conjunction with an inexpensive smaller monitor.

The "Something like that" I was referring to is this photographer's wireless solution he's building out of his garage... I have been tempted hundreds of times to buy one of those 2.4ghz thingies at Fry's and try to use them as a wireless solution... Then I see the demo model drop out, and I remember why it's a bad idea.

wireless HDMI (When it's 1/10th the current size) for the win
