To buy red touch or not

[sandeep n]

Question for my scarlet w purchase : Will the foolcontrol for iOS plus atomos 7" ninja inferno 1500nit monitor replaces the need of having a 400nit 4.7" Red touch monitor ?

I wouldn't trust complete operator of the cam via the app

Do the red monitor provide full control of the camera?

 

[Daniel Stilling]

yes. Indispensable.

I haven't used foolcontrol yet, but I originally tried to save money on my old Scarlet Dragon kit by using a 3rd party monitor + a REDmote. Definitely wasn't worth it.

I would always have a RED touch screen, even if it's not your main monitor.
The ability to quickly tap the screen to get to settings and do everything you needed will save you lots of time.

Hello
I have both. You definitely want the red touch.
The app is great but not as quick as the monitor and if you have any wifi issues you will be in trouble

Regards

Thanks guys.. swiped the MasterCard

Red Touch all the way. Fool control is also invaluable as the runner up.

Hey it’s a bit of a shameless plug, but I have a RED Pro Touch 5.0 monitor I’m about to list for sale. Excellent condition, no scratches or dings or screen issues. Works with all DSMC and DSMC2 cameras. PM me if interested, will be dropping it in the for sale section here as soon as I grab a picture along with all the other bits and bobs I’m clearing out.

No touch monitor is suicide.

I can't number the times I have had to plug in my Red Touch monitor to just speed up the process of getting through the menus or having that reassurance of everything is adjustable as expected.
You can go with out for sure, but I for one would always have some sort of Red Touch in the kit just incase everything is not working I can pull that out and know it should communicate with the camera.
