Viltrox launches its third and best 7in on-camera monitor yet (and it still costs under $300)

Viltrox DC-A1 on-camera monitor.

With on-camera monitors becoming increasingly popular with vidomakers and photographers, Viltrox has launched yet another seven-inch screen to give you a bigger view as you frame and review your shots.

Just recently, Viltrox launched the DC-L1 and DC-L2 (see our review here) – two budget-priced models with the principal different between the two being that the DC-L2 offered more pro-level SDI connection sockets.

Now, Viltrox is offering a more premium model - the DC-A1 - with a higher resolution screen that offers a significantly brighter image. Its IPS touchscreen offers 1920x1080 Full HD resolution and a remarkable 2800 nits brightness. But amazingly the top model in this new range still retails for under US$300.

The new screen supports input and output via lossless, high-definition HDMI 2.0 in 4K resolution at 60Hz. It supports a range of pro tools 3D LUT, gyroscope, focus peaking, false color, anamorphic de-squeeze, and more. Its custom LUT import capability claims to enable seamless color consistency, from on-set monitoring to post-production.

The screen is supplied with carrying case, tilt and swivel mount, NF-F550 battery, quick-release sunhood,  screen protector, and cables. It is on sale now for $280/£269.
