NEEWER F500 PRO 5.5-inch Monitor review

A 5.5-inch, 2000-nit touch monitor with 4K HDMI loop-out and LUTs, which can also power the camera through a dummy battery. About $222 from a third-party seller.

Bright and compact

The F500 PRO packs a 5.5-inch Full HD touch panel rated at 2000 nits. That is the brightest on this shelf, and it tilts 180° for high and low angles.

A monitor that powers the camera

Its dummy-battery output, up to 8.4 V and 1.5 A, can run the camera from the monitor’s NP-F battery. One large battery then replaces two.

Tools and LUTs

Waveform, vectorscope, false color, zebra and focus peaking are listed, with 15 LUTs and custom uploads. 4K HDMI comes in and loops out.

Points to note

A built-in fan cools it, which can be audible near an on-camera microphone. The listing is from a third party, RUIHOTOR, with one unit left when we read it.

What people ask before they commit

What is a dummy-battery output?

It powers the camera from the monitor’s NP-F battery through an adapter that sits in the camera’s battery slot. NEEWER lists up to 8.4 V at 1.5 A.

Is 2000 nits worth it?

In direct sun, yes. It is the brightest screen on this shelf, and you can turn it down indoors to save battery.

Which 4K signals does it take?

NEEWER lists 3840 × 2160 at up to 30p and 4096 × 2160 at 24p, plus HD formats.
