| Jan 22, 2019 at 19:02 | comment | added | Pieter | I might be overcomplicating it. It looks like I might be able to mount my smartphone on top of the camera and use the USB port to get a live feed onto my phone: youtube.com/watch?v=ZtRPBu-JXXo | |
| Jan 22, 2019 at 18:51 | comment | added | Pieter | Interesting option, but I'm curious how portable that solution is. Any idea if there's someplace where you can buy a small external screen that attaches to a camera in a stable way? Or some solution with a HDMI dongle that you can wirelessly connect to on your smartphone? Either way, I don't have a HDMI mini cable yet so I don't know if it only works for playback or also for recording. | |
