If you are a YouTube content creator or just a casual videographer, then a field monitor is a useful tool to invest in. After all, checking your shot’s framing in a tiny camera display isn’t the best way to guarantee you have taken the best video. A field monitor can be mounted directly onto a camera, tripod, or other support gear; allowing you to quickly review footage, making it an essential tool for video and photography work on the go.
