Buy once…cry once. 😢 smallhd Ultra 5

After a couple years of running an Atomos Ninja V as my on-camera & wireless monitor solution, it was about time to upgrade. I had a couple “wants” in my replacement.

I absolutely needed a slim design (compared to the Ninja V’s bulky af SDI solution), SDI/HDMI loop out, functional focus peaking, and as many NITs as possible. 

Enter the smallhd Ultra series. Adding the Ultra 5 & Ultra 7 to my arsenal & retiring my Ninja V’s to backup/multicam monitors was one of the best decisions I could have made a couple months ago. Having SmallHD’s selective focus peaking (where only the part “in-focus” appears sharper on the monitor) saved me countless times on the back-to-back docs I’ve worked over the past few months. Camera control & 3000nits have just been the icing on top. 

Now that I’m finally back to the homeland, I’m looking forward to updating to Page OS 6 & hopefully rocking with these as my main monitors for the next few years! 

What’s your dream monitor in 2025?
