About FieldMonitor

FieldMonitor gives you wireless monitoring & control for Canons, Panasonics, Sonys, and Teradeks.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT buy FieldMonitor without reading this ENTIRE description!

Test your camera with its native Wi-Fi app to make sure your workflow and recording formats are supported BEFORE buying FieldMonitor. Make sure you have the controls you need with the native app, and that image quality and lag are acceptable. Contact me if you have any questions.

• FieldMonitor has the same latency, resolution, and reliability as your camera’s native app.

• If a camera control or feature does not work with the native app, it won’t work with FieldMonitor.

• FieldMonitor has NO playback, review or download capability.

• In areas with busy Wi-Fi networks and/or sources of radio interference, performance cannot be guaranteed, whether using FieldMonitor or your camera’s native app.

WHAT IT DOES:

FieldMonitor™ lets you monitor picture, exposure, and color on supported Canon™, Panasonic™, and Sony™ cameras, and Teradek™ H.264/HEVC transmitters. FieldMonitor runs on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple Silicon (M1) Mac.

Use markers to show safe areas, aspect ratios, and framing grids. Desqueeze anamorphic images, cropped to your final aspect ratio. Flip the image on either axis. Focus Assist helps you nail focus. Use a waveform monitor, vectorscope, histogram, false color, and 3D LUTs.

With iPhone 5S or later, iPod touch 6G or later, iPad Air or later, iPad mini 2 or later, and iPad Pro, you can see a false-color picture with adjustable levels.

With a supported camera and lens you can start/stop recording, control exposure and color settings, and zoom or focus remotely. Controls are designed for fast, realtime adjustments.

See the FieldMonitor website for details.

SUPPORTED SOURCES:

• Canon: EOS mirrorless and DSLR cameras that support video recording in Wi-Fi remote mode when using Canon’s Camera Connect.

• Panasonic: Lumix cameras that transmit a live view while recording when using Image App or Lumix Sync. GH3 and earlier cameras do NOT support video recording in Wi-Fi remote mode.

• Sony: only Alpha and RX cameras that transmit a live view while recording when using Imaging Edge Mobile. A5000, A6000, A7, A7R, A99 and earlier cameras do NOT support video recording in Wi-Fi remote mode.

• Teradek: H.264 and HEVC encoders only (Cube, Serv Pro), not uncompressed (Bolt).

• More info on the FieldMonitor website’s support page.

LIMITATIONS:

• FieldMonitor does not work with cine cameras or camcorders, only “hybrid” still & video cameras (mirrorless or DSLR).

• Audio is not transmitted from cameras, only Teradeks.

• Camera Wi-Fi images are 512x288, 640x360, 320x180, or 1024x576 depending on the camera. Teradeks support 240p to 1080p.

• “Smart Remote” Sonys do NOT allow use of Picture Profiles, S-Log, or S&Q Motion when using Wi-Fi remote control. Focus points can only be set in photo mode.

• “Ctrl w/ Smartphone“ Sonys do not display focus area, battery level, and/or storage info. Focus points can’t be set in the app with most cameras other than A1, A7Siii, and FX3, in video mode only.

• Fujifilm legacy support: ONLY X-T3 and X-T100 are supported. X-T3 only records 1080p / 29.97 fps; X-T100 only records 720p / 24 fps. See https://www.adamwilt.com/fieldmonitor/support.html#Fujifilm for other limitations.

What's New in the Latest Version 11.0

Last updated on Feb 12, 2024
Old Versions
• Custom Markers now flip and rotate with the image.
• Teradek feeds can be converted from YCrCb to RGB so that LUTs and Focus Assist can be used: Settings > Teradek Options > Convert Images to RGB. RGB Conversion increases battery drain, and lowers frame rate on older, slower iDevices (especially those with A8 or earlier CPUs) — so turn it on only when you need to use LUTs or Focus Assist.
• Support for Teradek Serv and HEVC encoders (Cube 755).
• “network timeout” displayed when Teradek feed stops for 2+ seconds.
• Aspect ratio fixes for Teradek feeds.
