Hello again,

I have another question concerning my last post about my Jib Shoot.

I'm told the only monitor available is a standard def Sony field monitor.
It does switch to 16:9, and I know this won't have nearly the resolution of a Hi-def monitor.
But, will it work anyway to show me a picture and proper framing?

thanks,

Joey

Joey, a SD monitor that is 16:9 capable should be fine for framing, but focusing will not be very easy. The Marshall 7 inch HD is a much better one if you can get hold of one.
