I have owned a Sony a6500 for about 3 weeks and in that time it’s been put to a variety of uses including two camera interviews (B cam) and Ronin M gimbal use.
I took the benefit of the 50% price reduction on the Video Assist range of monitor/recorders and purchased the 7″ 4k version as I was in the market for a second monitor to use with my Sony A7Sii and a6500 cameras. I wanted a monitor for use on my Ronin M gimbal and 2 camera interview setups, plus what attracted my to the Video Assist 4k is the ProRes recording capabilities and being able to record takes longer than 30 minutes.
As a recent Sony A7Sii owner looking for an effective way of using my Zeiss ZE and Canon EF mount lenses, I went with the Commlite EF – E mount adaptor purchased from Amazon UK.
