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?

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


Yes, and I just received one from Blimie & Herman. It's the AtomOS Shinobi, a very sharp, very light & very feature rich 5" monitor, with HDMI input. I'd say it's ideal for what you want it for. It's comparatively inexpensive, $299, because it doesn't record, thus making it somewhat more photography oriented, though it's also fine for video work, assuming outboard recording isn't needed.

Cheers, Dennis in AZ

A Lumix GX85 with a 12-32 & 40-150 could also be a good place to start, for $500 at the moment. I own an OM-D E-M1 Mk II, but think the GX85 is a lot of camera for that price, and it has many good reviews.

The monopods that have the three small legs or feet typically have an adjustable dampener in the swivel point between the feet & monopod; this can certainly be of benefit in stabilizing movement in the X & Y axes. I won't buy a monopod or tripod that has latches for length adjustment because they often eventually break and they are prone to snagging things.

Have a look at this one if you'd like versatility & options. https://mogopod.com

I have one and like it, but also have a single purpose Gitzo for when the Mogopod features aren't needed.

I recently bought a Panasonic G7 and have many M.Zuiko lenses. There have been some good sales on the G7 lately and it is a lot of camera for the money, with lots on fun features. While not as rugged as some, or weatherproof, it feels good in hand, is very customizable and I found it fairly easy to get comfortable with. I'm waiting for the next sale on a PEN F. Many more lenses available from Olympus & Panasonic than from Sony.

This could be an alternate stabilizing option, with the benefit of additional uses.
