P4 Pro Display?

johnny85 · Mar 13, 2017

Has anyone bought the P4 Pro with the display? If so how do you like it? I have an iPad Pro now but that is big. I like the display that comes with the P4 Pro since they say its 2x brighter than most tablets. What are your thoughts?

Last question. The 20mp camera does that have an optical zoom and if so is it only a 2x zoom?

I own one and I'm like it so far. The following video explains the pros and cons in detail:

The camera only has a digital zoom.

Have it and love it. Less stuff to setup. One less thing to charge. Much neater. No glare. Brightness is great. Clarity is great. Got used to small screen after 2 shoots. (Had an Ipad mini on previous setup.)

Did you had a chance to test video feed during 4K filming? Is it solid, no freezing or pixelation?

I normally film at 2.7.
I did a good bit of 4k filming recently when testing out SD cards. No issues at all from the video feed.

None whatever. 4K or at any other setting.

This is just me but I set up a friends P4P Plus last weekend. No way would I get used to flying with that small of a screen. My eyes are too old for that small. Holding out for the Crystal Sky Monitor to go with my P4P that hopefully will be released at the NAB Show when I'm there in April. Using Ipad Air2 and love it with the Hoodman screen.

remote with built in screen is very good, however.... you can`t install third party apps... that actually sucks.

Wow I did not know that! Thx msinger. But it's only good if your in 1080 they said so prob would never use that. Just crop it in post later should be better quality maybe.
