Suggestions for portable small screen (roughly 7 inches) to connect via HDMI Canon 1DX. I have trouble determining focus and general picture quality from small built-in screen. I hope I can find a small screen, battery powered with external battery pack with an input compatible with the 1DX HDMI MINI output. I'd appreciate suggestions.

Thanks Speters! I will do that. I was hoping that someone was doing that already and could share their experience.

You might look into a CamRanger. It requires an iPad type device but is very good for remote focus.

I couldn't find the phrase "shit loads" in the dictionary. Please provide a qualifying definition.

I was shocked that the 1DX flag ship Canon camera was not WIFI !!!
“Canon has the option of buying the WFT-E6A wireless transmitter, but at a steep $599 retail in the US. AT the time of this writing, the WFT-E7A was coming out at $849″.

“Other options like the Eye-Fi™ card are only available in SD cards, not CF cards as in what the 1Dx uses. After a Google search for other alternatives, I really found nothing, with the exception of the WFT-E6A adapter”

With my Sony HX50V the WIFI is up to 20' and can connect to any "smart" phone or pad. These addon or hack referenced should work with smart equipment.

Be sure to check out the link before plunking down the cash. There are many 7-10" pads for less $100 that may do. A 7" gives you roughly 4X viewing. Don't the settings show in your eyeview? also If needed you can get a sun shield for your LED for less than $20 on Ebay.

a lot of something; a large amount.
Perhaps comes from the people who collected dung from the streets and from the chambers that were associated with the "crappers" ... London was famous for this... epidemic prompted sewers in 1830-50 construction period. Life was difficult for early street photographers!!! Please wipe your feet before coming into a studio. Be sure to wipe with your left hand, eat with your right and shake hands with right.

Thanks dpullum. That was certainly educational and may fit into my plans in the future. The settings do show. Sometimes my focus and/or exposure is a little off and I don't realize it until I see them on a larger screen.

Thanks KennyMac! That is precisely what I want.
