I am considering combining the K-7 with a field monitor like the DP1 from SmallHD
SmallHD.com - 8.9" High Definition - the DP1.
This is a 9" 720p monitor weighting ~800g. It should be hot-shoe mountable with the accesories coming out for the DP1. It connects to K-7 via its HDMI port. The monitor is wider than the K-7 by 50mm on each side.
This should allow for much better control of manual focus and composition than using the screen. In the studio.
Does anybody know if the new grip for K-7 (D-BG4) has a power outlet to connect the screen to?
Does the hot shoe supply power supporting a constant 10W (this is as much as the DP1 draws)?
Should I mount using a bracket to tripod socket rather than the hot shoe?
Is there an alternative to the DP1, maybe a smaller 720p screen?
Does anybody have experience with this combo (or any field monitor ...)?
