Budget a lot for accessories
If you're trying to use this on a gimbal, it is really not ready to go before a lot of other purchases. The HDMI cord is super heavy and rigid, and tugs at the gimbal motors: Movi sells one for $30 that is almost as lightweight as the wire on old Apple headphones. Doesn't come with batteries, and burns through them, so buy several if you're going to be using it all day on the go between gimbal, and tripod for interviews. Doesn't come with a case. The ball head is really unreliable, and I almost dropped the entire monitor a couple times: Manfrotto's 492LCD is about 50 bucks and all the stability you could ever ask for. Also had to buy a Small Rig adapter and a cold shoe hardware to mount it to my Zhiyun Crane 2.It's a good enough monitor but altogether about $200 in additional purchases to get it field-ready. Most of it can be used on future monitors, but word to the wise if you're expecting this to be a good plug and play for gimbals.

Great product and even GREATER customer service!
I rarely write equipment reviews but I have to make an exception for the Feelworld F570 and the customer support from Bella-TV. On both counts, product and service I give them 5 stars. I needed a small but rugged and capable on-camera monitor for my Sony a7R, a7s and a7sII video and stills work but with not a lot of budget for more monitors (I have many). I also needed 4K (UHD) capability since most of my shooting now is 4K in-camera on the a7sII. I also wanted a unit with all the bells and whistles that I rely on like focus assist, histogram, false color, etc. I took a chance on the Feelworld F570. I'm glad I did:1. Product Quality and Package: Overall product quality and performance is superb. I was shocked at how well made the monitor is and how complete the package of extras was that came with it. For this price point I was not expecting a precision metal bodied monitor with a beautiful and accurate screen but that is exactly what I got. Construction quality is first rate. Screen resolution and color is excellent. Accessories are both complete and of the highest quality. I highly recommend this unit on all counts with regards to construction, features and performance!!2. Feelworld/Bella-TV Customer Service: Outstanding and not typical at this price point!! When I order something from Amazon if it doesn't perform properly right out of the box I send it back immediately. However, I was so impressed with the quality of this unit I did something I only do once in a while: I contacted the manufacturer directly when I began to experience a software issue on the unit. The response from Bella-TV to my inquiry about a possible software issue/upgrade was almost immediate and after a couple of quick email exchanges Bella-TV offered to replace the monitor and pay for all the shipping charges to and back to Hong Kong. At this point I have already received a new monitor complete with accessories and it is working perfectly. Working with Bella-TV was absolutely the right decision rather than returning my purchase to Amazon for a refund. Bella-TV was very responsive and respectful and wasted no time in taking care of my problem, even at great distance. Outstanding!!I feel 100% confident in recommending the beautiful compact Feelworld F570 and the company behind it, Bella-TV!!! 5 STARS in all aspects!!

The best low budget portable on-camera monitor
I owe three 7-inch on-camera monitors but they are too bulky to mount on my Zhiyun Crane 2, so I started to search for something that is very light weight and portable. When I saw Feelworld F570 5.7" monitor at amazon.com, I was very skeptical about its quality and durability. I doubted if this would meet my needs for HD and 4-K video recordings. The price was cheap so I bought it right away, and it was delivered to me last week - within 4 days. After using it for 5 days, I have come to like it more than the other monitors I owe. The screen is very sharp and makes manual focusing very enjoyable, especially for cameras such as Canon 5D mk3, GH5 and Canon C100 mk2. Feelworld F570 focus peaking is one of the best! Now that I have this monitor, I am going to start using my old Canon mount lenses (EF/EF-S/Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8) in manual focus mode on my Gh5 and C100 mk2 to achieve the best cinematic recording style I have always dreamed to have. I will always recommend Feelworld F570 to any professional who is looking for a low budget on-camera monitor. You will never go wrong with this choice of monitor.

Its worth every penny. Sharp image
I wasn't sure what the quality was going to be like on this guy because I was looking at monitors from companies like small HD and Atomos which are almost $500-$1000 more than this monitor. First thoughts opening up were great. The material used did not feel cheap or plastic like. The monitor responded well to my camera. This picture shows it hooked up to my Canon c300 mk1 but I also hooked it up to my sony a7iii and i was still highly impressed. I went ahead and purchased another mount so I could have the side and bottom threads available at any notice and i did purchase a case for it to keep it safe when traveling with it. I will buy another for sure.only con:This model does not come with audio monitoring but they have other models that do come with it.

BEWARE: After 60 days monitor would not illuminate the picture
I purchased this monitor 60 days ago. When I first purchase it, there were issues showing the picture. After contacting the camera company (Canon), we determined it was not the camera but the monitor. Then, the monitor started working. It is now not illuminating any picture. I have read a recent review and saw the same problem. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I have not been able to contact Amazon by chat, phone or email. There is no information to contact the company regarding this monitor. I would not recommend this product.
