Here’s our take on the 5” Blackmagic Video Assist, a small but powerful monitor/recording solution. 

Just incase you want a closer look at my Approx Record Time table, here it is!

Approx recording time

Pros

  • The good quality screen means using this to focus is perfect.
  • Recording to SD cards is always our preferred way as we already carry lots of them.
  • Trustworthy touch screen which works well.

Cons

  • DIN connectors mean carrying an extra cable around.
  • Not always clear when the device is recording means that you can’t see at a glance if you are actually recording.
