Digital Home Thoughts: Sony Releases Portable HDMI Video Monitor for Videographers and Filmmakers

One of the difficult things in using a DSLR for recording video is that most of them do not have articulating screens, and even then the screen can be quite small. Enter Sony with CLM-V55 that can be both AC and battery powered and connects via HDMI to your camera. The neat thing about it is that the sound picked up by the camera can be passed through the screen to an external headphone set for monitoring use. Two problems solved with one accessory! The screen also adds pro features like peaking to check on exposure and magnification to check on focus accuracy. Expect it in March.
