Swit CM-55C HDMI Monitor

The CM-55C is a 5.5-inch on-camera field monitor with a Full HD 1920x1080 LCD panel, a 450-nit backlight and a 1000:1 contrast ratio that stays readable in the shade and bright enough to trust on a rig. A single HDMI 1.4 input accepts signals up to 4K30p and scales them to the panel, and a 178-degree viewing angle keeps the image steady as you move around the camera. At just 5.5W draw it sips power over a long day.

The monitor is built for focus and exposure: peaking, waveform, vector scope, histogram, false color, zebra and 2-channel audio metering, plus 2x and 4x quick zoom-and-pan for critical focus checks and 3D LUT loading from an SD card. It powers from a built-in slot that takes Sony NP-F or Canon LP-E6 batteries, or from a micro-USB feed off a phone charger or power bank, so it drops onto a DSLR, mirrorless or cinema rig with minimal fuss.
