"I haven’t used the Ninja V or Video Assist 5”. I guess if you plan on recording Prores RAW in the future, the Ninja V would be a good choice. But lack of SDI input makes it useless with most professional cameras. Have used the Video Assist 7”, nothing to write home about. It’s lightweight at least? \n \n\n\n\tI have a Pix-E7 which I like a lot except for:\n \n\n\n\t - weight w/ batteries\n \n\n\n\t-  long boot time (Over a minute! Reminds me of a Red One)\n \n\n\n\t- mediocre focus peaking (colored only, no ‘aperture’ style)\n \n\n\n\t- power hungry (more than my camera!)\n \n\n\n\t- not very bright outside\n \n\n\n\tBut otherwise the image is very nice, the Prores recording works great (best recording media implementation by far), it’s built like a tank, and the other monitoring and conversion tools are great. The screen does develop a fine pattern of little micro dots over time, probably from the bonded gorilla glass screen separating. It’s bright enough not to be distracting while shooting, but you’ll notice it when it’s off.\n \n\n\n\tAlso, if you continually lose power while running, the Pix can start to freak out and not boot up consistently anymore. Reflashing firmware does fix it, but it’ll ruin your day on set when it happens. For that reason, I always keep at least one battery on, even when powering thru AC or d-tap. Makes it much heavier unfortunately.\n \n\n\n\tYou could try the 5” Pix-E5, which has most of the same attributes in a smaller package. But I think you’ll struggle to find focus with it and the bezels on these monitors are quite large, so you’ll be getting a smaller picture than you might expect from the 5” spec.\n \n"
