Field monitor w/ BM menus

PostMon Aug 30, 2021 9:15 pm

Are there any field monitors that give access to the BMPCC menu structure? The BM menus are quite amazing and from what I've seen all of the monitors have pretty lousy menus. The BM 12G probably does but I've heard that those aren't very bright. Plus they're pretty spendy. For me a monitor only needs to help with framing, camera control and focus peaking/false color/histogram, etc. Recording isn't worth the extra cost since the camera is already doing that. It would be cool if BM could make a field monitor like this (maybe they do???)

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks! Does it just control bmpcc or does it use the BM menus? I've found a lot of monitors that will control but all the ones I've seen use their wonky menus and not BM's most excellent menus.
