hi NAB from hanging out with other creators seeing new technology New pieces of gear connecting with
Brands it's so much fun but it's also a very busy week and it's busy with creating content since
there's so much to talk about my main workstation is here at home I got a bunch of monitors my Big
Mac Pro I've never really had a great mobile editing experience every time I've traveled
in the past handful of years I've used my wife's basic M1 MacBook Pro but as of December of last
year DaVinci Resolve came to the iPad and so this is going to be the first big trip Where I Leave
the laptop at home and I just take the iPad but then I thought can I still have a multi-display
setup without adding too much weight or bulk to my very minimal packing and that's when I discovered
this 13.3 inch 4K compact portable monitor now this monitor is made by a company called into
Hill and to be honest when they first reached out to sponsor this video I was kind of hesitant
because I've tried portable monitors like this in the past and they usually fail or fall short
on a couple key areas for me a lot of them require you to have external power in addition to however
you're connecting to your computer iPad phone or whatever device a lot of them are made of cheap
Plastics and the screens look terrible the types of connections aren't great and one of the biggest
is just the overall screen quality terrible viewing angles low resolutions and not very
bright however this monitor solves pretty much all of those problems it feels premium in the hand but
it is not heavy at all I think it's only like 1.1 pounds it's got nice rubber grips on the bottom
so that the included magnetic case which kind of doubles as a protective case or you can just get
your multiple viewing angles the display itself is actually a 16 by 10 so a little bit taller which I
actually really like especially for video editing any a little bit helps and unlike most monitors
which are 1080 or even 720 this display actually has a resolution of 3840 by 2400. kind of a unique
resolution for the unique aspect ratio but still it's 4K and honestly it looks incredible what's
also helping is the 500 nit display in any sort of indoor environment definitely bright enough
to get the job done in terms of ports you have a mini HDMI two USB type-c that's going to deliver
power data video signals on the opposite side you have a headphone jack another USB type-c for
OTG connections for mice keyboard and other accessories you have a power button as well as a
toggle for going through menus and settings and it even has built-in stereo speakers which honestly
don't sound half bad now one thing it does come with for the type C ports as well as the HDMI
is actually a mini HDMI to full size HDMI adapter with which comes in very handy because we all know
how much we hate the smaller versions of HDMI and what's nice is the way they have it at this kind
of right angle you can see when I put it in that I can now feed an HDMI cable in the back and I don't
have a bunch of cables sticking out everywhere and it comes with a version of this for the two USB
type-c ports as well it also comes with a variety of cables most importantly two USB type-cated USB
type c what I love is if you're connecting this to an iPad or a computer you don't need external
power for it to work simply just connect the two USB type-c ports and you'll see a power on
and we'll see it immediately extend the desktop for the iPad and now I can see my
mouse and everything works over there obviously if this was a laptop it would work the same way
you could extend the desktop you can mirror now of course if the device that you are hooking it up to
doesn't have like power or for example if I want to connect my camera and use it as a monitor let's
say I want to grab my camera here then now what I'm going to do is I'm going to power it through
this USB type-c battery Bank we can see the logo come back on so it has power now normally if I was
using this as a monitor for my pocket 6K Pro it'd be great to use the full size HDMI but since I'm
going to test it on my Canon EOS R this actually has mini HDMI as well so I'm going to use the mini
HDMI to full HDMI adapter how clean that looks just coming out the other side and then we'll
give this a shot here audio passer works you can hear the microphone it actually sounds really good
if you're monitor bring audio that sounds good but let me turn turn that down since they're so
close now we have an awesome camera monitor you can see myself a little camera reception there
so this also can be useful in say the hotel room if I'm trying to film myself rather than having a
small camera display like this that you're trying to like look at from four or five feet away to
see if you're in focus now we have this while my original plan was to hook up this external monitor
to the iPad to then have dual DaVinci Resolve editing experience it turns out that DaVinci
Resolve for the iPad doesn't really fully support dual monitors when you have the studio version you
can long press on your preview screen and make a clean feed go to an external monitor like this
so that way you can make your workspaces big and the viewer is small on the iPad because you have
a nice full monitor here I wanted to take another 13 inch display a MacBook Pro right here and see
what sort of experience we can get when we have the options to do full dual editing so just like
the iPad it is a extremely simple hookup plug that in right there plug then to one the USBC
ports and we can see that's that's pretty much it it uh powers on it's obviously using power
from the laptop itself which also is not plugged in now right away you can see just how incredibly
bright this display is pretty much matching this and again the viewing angles of this monitor are
superb I have tested out so many of these portable monitors and I rarely show you guys because it
just fails in the basic like check boxes of what makes a good monitor so we can see that our dual
display already works but let's turn on our dual display workspace for DaVinci Resolve and as soon
as we turn it on we can see that we now have a dual workspace setup and of course you can go into
DaVinci Resolve and change where your workspaces are if you want your timeline over here your media
over here vice versa just like you would normally do on a desktop but I love this because I again
am usually spoiled by a huge desktop setup that when I go out and I travel and I just take weather
it's a 13 inch iPad or a 13 inch MacBook Pro the issue isn't the type of Hardware that it is touch
screen or regular laptop the issue is the screen real estate and yes I know plenty of people who
hook up their laptop to a bigger monitor but again that's usually their home setup they're
not doing that when they go out and about this you can actually fold up and fit into a single
laptop sleeve or backpack because I can just do this I can just unplug a single cable there's
no external power bricks and power source and now you have something that is essentially just
two MacBooks thin which is already ridiculously thin it's a very small travel package you got a
nice external hard drive and pretty much one or two cables that you can use to power your
entire setup it's products like this that should enhance your workflow and make you more efficient
not add a bunch of bulk and just extra hassle to get things set up and going so of course if you
guys want to learn more about this monitor and other monitors that this company sells check out
