I would like to purchase a Off Camera Monitor for my Nikon D750 and Nikon D850 cameras.........
I do a lot of water drop photography and the monitor's on my cameras
in Live View are just too small.

NOTE: I only want it for photography NOT video.
Anyone have any suggestions suggestions?

Do they make monitors that are geared for photography and not video?
Thanks

How small does it have to be? Would a small decent computer monitor that accepts hdmi work?

Thanks.....yes I have but I really don't want anything larger than 7-8"

Check that company that Jeff Bezos founded....I just can't come up with the name.

If you don't like Jeff's company, try the one started in the early '70s by Blimie & Herman. They are in Manhattan, respond to emails and even answer the phone at 800.894.9703 or 212.502.6230. They don't work Saturdays. I've tested their "satisfaction guaranteed" policy a couple times and it works fine.

If you have a iPad Air 2 or older ipad pro 10.1 inch the Manfrotto Digital Director may work for you.

My son has an older model for sale, if interested private message me and I will send photos and price.

If you have a labtop or tablet laying around, probably could be used.

if you use snapbridge on both bodies you can use tablets or mobiles as a second screen

Try an Amazon search for seven inch field monitor or what ever size you prefer. They can mount on the hot shoe too.

I’ve used this for about a year and it has performed well. It’s taken a while to get the workflow of setting it up correct (have to wait a few seconds to get it to connect), and you will need a compatible camera (last I looked, most Canon and Nikon DSLRs, and the list is hard to find on their website).

Camera in Live View, manual, autofocus, and there is a slight lag in image presentation (on the order of a half second).

Once running, you can adjust ISO, shutter, aperture, and focus.

I have the app installed on my iPad, iPhone, and laptop.

I would think that if your D750 is WiFi capable , you could synch it up with a cell phone ,an IPad of a small Tablet or even tether it to a laptop computer on a tripod mounted along side of your camera .
Some manufacturers provide these aides for studio & production workings. It would accommodate stills or video regardless.

I do not own a D750 or 850 but I think they are capable of these possible solutions and hopefully some one on the forum will provide the proper link to what you seek. Good Luck

I use Cam Ranger. on cold days I set the camera out side and inside I can control the camera using my tablet or cell phone. I am able to turn, tilt, set focus, aperture or speed, and of course fire the camera. Cam Ranger mounts on the hot shoe . For more info check out the web site. camranger.com

If you have a laptop and use Lightroom the camera will plug straight into the laptop.

A program called Digicamcontrol (digitcamcontrol.com) will allow you to control all aspects of the camera. Free.

You'll also need a USB cable. USB A to min-USB B transport cable. (pimfg.com/product-detail/M5USB-USB-15TP) $5.00.

I use a D750 & D7100 and it works great

You can also use a HDMI cable and attach almost any LCD, LED TV that accepts HDMI.

Hope this helps
