Portkeys BM5 IV
Versatile budget monitor with real tools. The B-camera pick.
Friday pickup, Monday return counts as one day.
Description
A 5.5-inch on-camera touchscreen monitor that punches above its price, 2000 nits (brighter than the DJI High-Bright), CINENORM OS with seven user-configurable pages, full SDI + HDMI cross-conversion, and wired camera control for Sony, Canon, Panasonic, Blackmagic, and ZCAM bodies. The standard BM5 IV (not the WR variant), it does NOT have wireless ARRI control or wireless camera control. Camera control happens via USB-C cables specific to each brand. We rent it as the budget-friendly monitor for B-cameras (R5C, S1II, R8, BMPCC 6K Pro), as the gimbal monitor when the 503 UltraBright is committed elsewhere, or as a third monitor on multi-cam setups. D-Tap cable included for Gold Mount power.
