Advantages of Video Assist on a Pocket Cinema

PostSun Aug 07, 2022 4:38 pm

Hi !

What are the advantages to use a "Video Assist" on a "Pocket Cinema"?

Because, we can record directly to SSD hard disk through USB-C of the Pocket Cinema.
Color Adjustments can be done on Pocket Cinema itself.
Except better view, because you have a display device, I cannot see more advantages at the moment.

thank you
