Live prices and creator coverage for the PortKeys LH5P II 5.5" Touchscreen Monitor with Camera Control for Sony FS5/FS7/FX6/FX9 - everything in one place.
Our editorial take on the PortKeys LH5P II 5.5" Touchscreen Monitor with Camera Control for Sony FS5/FS7/FX6/FX9
The PortKeys LH5P II is a 5.5-inch touchscreen on-camera monitor designed for specific Sony camera models. Its key feature is the combination of a bright 2200 cd/m² display and camera control capabilities for the Sony FS5, FS7, FX6, and FX9, facilitated by a built-in Bluetooth module (though the spec sheet later contradicts this with a 'No' for Bluetooth). It supports DCI 4K24 or UHD 4K30 video via HDMI.
Built with an aluminum and glass construction, this LCD panel offers a native resolution of 1920 x 1080 and a 1000:1 contrast ratio. Power is supplied via an L-Series battery mount or a 7 to 24 VDC proprietary input. While it offers a headphone output, it lacks a built-in speaker or media card slot, positioning it as a streamlined monitoring solution rather than an all-in-one recording and playback device.
Considering the specialized camera control and high brightness, this monitor appears to target professional users of compatible Sony cameras who require robust monitoring in various lighting conditions. Its specific feature set suggests a focused application for those invested in the Sony cinematic ecosystem.
