Hi everyone,

I would like to know if anyone know of a cheap external monitor for the Canon 5D II so that I don't have to look at the small LCD screen on the camera itself. Sometimes the LCD view is hard to see when I'm outside in the sun, and I would like to see if there is a cheaper solution such as the external monitor for the Camera itself. Anyone know where I may find one ? thanks!

Id get a winbook 700 and use it in tether mode, $30 at microcenter w/a cupon $60 without. They are super compact.

I have a Lilliput 7" screen when I'm doing videos and architectural work.

But the tool that I go to ... easy and fast setup is a hoodman.
