Usually, one would need to rent an external display to monitor focus and get precise framing â€" something difficult to do with small camera viewfinders. What if you could skip the rent and afford to own one? The ikan V8000HD is an 8” widescreen LCD monitor that can support a wide range of SD and HD inputs and formats. Since its body is entirely made of plastic, the unit is quite light at a little over 1 pound, and ideal to mount on the top shoe. In the reviewer’s test of the ikan V8000HD, he found it very useful and of great value.
