Pre-review: Prestigio E157 HD LCD monitor
Before I get a chance to properly use it and shoot a little video review I thought I’d drop some first impressions of my new ‘E157’ full HD DSLR monitor. As an advisory caution, I’ve labelled this ‘prestigio’ as that’s the only brand name I could find in any of the packaging, and even that was just in a small picture in the manual. You’ll find it on EBay though, here: HD DSLR Monitor 1080p on EBay
First impressions are pretty basic: I’m thrilled. This beauty normally goes for around £150 on EBay but I managed to bargain mine down to £118 including free express shipping from these guys in Hong Kong - yup, it arrived in the UK two days after I ordered it, and I was able to pay a tiny (£6) customs charge and pick it up the next day. For just over a hundred squid I’ve got a full 1080 HD monitor with a remote control and a ball-rotating hotshoe mount. The thing even came with a sun shade to protect the image from glare!
My only niggle so far is that it came with a non-uk plug. Still, a couple of quid for an adapter from your local Market and you’re sorted. I actually happened to have a 12v adapter that fitted anyway so it’s charging up nicely as I type.
So there you have it- a real bargain full HD monitor for your DSLR. So far, it’s really awesome!
