Portkeys LH5C 5.4″ Camera Control Monitor
The Portkeys LH5C is a professional 5.4-inch on-camera monitor with 800nits of brightness, HDMI video input/output ports, Rec.709 color and 85% DCI-P3 coverage, 3D-LUT output capabilities, and wired camera control features.
The Porkeys LH5C is the most affordable on-camera monitor on the market with wired camera-control capabilities. However, despite its price, this monitor features a 5.4” LCD touchscreen with 800nits brightness, a 1,000:1 contrast ratio, and a large 178° viewing angle.
The display has a 1080p resolution (1920 x 1152), and it covers 100% of Rec.709 and 85% of DCI-P3 color spaces. The LH5C comes with a 10-bit (8+2 FRC) panel for high color fidelity and no color banding artifacts.
With dimensions of only 13.5 x 8.2 x 2.2cm/5.3 x 3.3 x 0.8in for a weight of 162g/5.7oz, the LH5C is a slim and lightweight monitor that will fill like a natural extension of your camera body.
The Portkeys LH5C features one HDMI input port and supports input resolutions up to DCI 4K at 30p, and 1080p60. The HDMI input is adjacent to the 3.5mm headphone output on the left side of the monitor, while the right side features an HDMI output port (up to 1080p60), a USB-C 3.0 5V power input port, and a 1/4”-20 mounting point with anti-twist grooves.
At the bottom of the LH5C are a USB-A port to load up to 20 custom LUTs and save freeze frame images onto the included mini USB stick, as well as a micro-USB camera remote port. Also, there is another 1/4”-20 mounting point, perfect to mount the monitor on your camera via the included MH-2 cold shoe mount.
The back of the monitor features a built-in Sony L-Series battery plate and thanks to a low power draw of only 7.5W, a small Sony NP-F550 battery can power the monitor for close to 3 hours. Additionally, the USB-C 3.0 5V power input can extend the monitor’s usage time by powering it via a power bank, V-Mount or Gold Mount battery.
Lastly, the top of the monitor features a main menu/UI lock switch, a power indicator, and a power switch.
The Portkeys LH5C is powered by MOVNORM OS, a minimalist and easy to use user-interface, and it includes all of the professional monitoring tools to frame, expose, and even modify your image.
