Nope - but reading the specs - its only a 320 * 240 LCD Screen - or 230k Pixels.

The built in LCD on the rear of the camera is 640 x 480 - or 921k Pixels.

So the transmitted image will be at least HALF the resoloution you see on the rear of the Camera... Not to mention, if you want to be able to pan the image - you have to use the CCTV mode via the Viewfinder - the AV out mode doesn't allow zooming etc (on this device - not the camera)...

Haven't used one as I said - but on specs alone it sounds pretty average.... and definately a step backwards from using the LV on the rear of the camera - Besides being "Remote".

Also note that it uses 2.4Ghz - along with every other wireless device known to man these days. So much like your video senders at home - if you live in an area with lots of Wireless activity and other 2.4Ghz devices.. then your range can often be severely curtailed...

I believe it wont make a difference - as the heat would be because with LV or an external monitor the Sensor is continuously active. The LCD itself wouldn't generate much heat comparitvely. I believe the 'heat warning' is more in relation to the sensor being past a point of acceptable quality potentially based on tempreature - not so much damage to the internal elements.

This would be why the same issues can occur after 10-15minutes of Video use... reading around here - some people have just 'powered through' the over temp alerts with no issues - apparently....
