Bjorn_Sorensen Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 I am offered a used Pilot without monitor. I plan using it with my Sony EX-1, but need to find a monitor solution. Can anyone recommend a decent monitor that will work with EX-1 and the existing cables that comes with the Pilot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Papastavrou Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) Hi I have successfully used a Lilliput 667 7" monitor with my pilot. It has HDMI,component, and composite inputs. Originally bought it as a cheap DSLR monitor, had to drill a small hole next to the 1/4-20 female mount hole in the frame to accommodate the anti-rotation pin of the sled's monitor mount. It has no zoom function. It is brighter than the original pilot monitor, similar anti-glare coating but in no way sunlight usable...(need an assistant with a big shade over you). It does flip the image for low mode. I have mostly used it with composite video signal,and occasionally hdmi, with the cable running outside the sled. It doesn't have SDI input. I'm currently looking for a cheap transflective sunlight readable monitor. Edited June 19, 2012 by Stavros Papastavrou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Tim Wu Posted September 29, 2012 Premium Members Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 I actually use the SmallHD DP6 HDSDI with my Pilot~ You could use the existing wiring on the Pilot and use the SD signal out of your EX-1! I actually found a super thin HD-SDI cable over on Markertek and spiral it up the post so I can use HDSDI feeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
