15Feb Dirt Cheap Monitor Project – Video build
Youtube member MAREKDT sent me a video of his take on the Dirt Cheap monitor project. I like the fact that he saved the little threaded bracket, I got a little to carried away with the dermal when I built mine and there wasn’t much left of the holes. The black electrical tape is also a nice touch, it’s probably a little better then the clear tape i used.
I never expected the dirt cheap monitor to end up on a camera as nice as the Sony NEX-FS100 but it looks like it works.
If you’re going to attempt this build here’s what you’ll need:
- ($19 to $25)
- ($5 to $8)
- Electrical tape ($1 to $3)
- ($30 to $40 optional)
- ($12 to $25)
Additional tools:
Thanks for putting together a video of your build MAREKDT.

Some people have great ideas and know how to make them real. I really admire these people.

We are currently shooting a horror movie called PMS COP. I am using this design for external cameras. It works great. I purchased the items using the links you provided. Thanks for the info. Also, we are using other methods you have stated here.

looks like the battery power pack is 50 bucks now. Can you tell me the name to find it on amazon? I bought the monitor thinking it was powered by the camera – oops…
