As of 2023, here are my top 5 picks for professional camera monitors and recorders for filming:

  1. Atomos Ninja V+: The Ninja V+ is a versatile monitor and recorder that can record 8K video at up to 30fps and 4K video at up to 120fps. It also features a bright 5.2-inch 10-bit HDR screen with a 1000 nits peak brightness, making it easy to see in bright sunlight.

  2. SmallHD 703 Bolt: The 703 Bolt is a 7-inch monitor with built-in wireless connectivity, allowing you to easily monitor and control your camera from a distance. It features a 1920x1080 resolution display with 3000 nits of brightness and supports a wide range of video formats.

  3. Blackmagic Video Assist 12G HDR: The Video Assist 12G HDR is a 7-inch monitor and recorder that can record up to 4K video at 60fps. It features a bright 2500 nit display with a wide color gamut, making it ideal for use in bright outdoor conditions.

  4. Convergent Design Odyssey 7Q+: The Odyssey 7Q+ is a versatile monitor and recorder that can record up to 4K video at 60fps. It features a 7.7-inch OLED display with 3400 nits of brightness, making it easy to see in bright sunlight.

  5. Sony FX6 Extension Unit: While not strictly a monitor or recorder, the Sony FX6 Extension Unit is a must-have accessory for filmmakers using the Sony FX6 camera. It adds a variety of useful features, including a 4-channel audio input, two additional XLR inputs, and a variety of mounting options for accessories like monitors and recorders.

Please note that the selection of the best camera monitors and recorders ultimately depends on your specific needs, so it's always a good idea to do your research and consider factors like budget, camera compatibility, and feature set before making a purchase.
