Hi guys, has anyone tried to use a wireless field monitor with magic lantern? I am not interested into being able to "use" magic lantern through wireless. All i care is being able just to monitor the frame from a distance without using a cable. and of course, being able to record RAW :)

Ideally, i was wondering if anyone had experience doing that, preferably on a 5D3 with firmware 1.2.3 I am looking to buy the lilliput 665-O-P-WH:

but, if i understood well, i could save me some money and use this hack instead, as mentioned in an older post about using the DSLR controller app and a tablet:

In the end all i care is simply to have a device to one end that receives the video feed of my 5D3 where i can check framing, zebras and focus peaking.
I will be using this set up in conjunction with the DJI Ronin.

I hope this post was clear, any help will be much appreciated! (Avoiding me to spend money uselessly) :)

Thanks!

thanks datadogie!

My last doubt is to see if the dslr controller app would show Zebras and focus peaking from magic lantern, because as i have read around he just interfaces with the canon firmware, not the magic lantern hack. If i could see zebras and focus peaking that way, i would think that is the way to go

Can someone please get ahold of the developer for DSLRcontroller and make sure they can update it for the iOS 8 or at least for the upcoming iOS 9 in the next few months...

I find it ridiculously rude that some of us paid for this tweak and yet it hasn't been update for quite some time (since iOS 7) and unfortunately I cannot downgrade my iPad Mini back from iOS 8 to iOS 7.

Shame on Apple!!!

I agree with you deafeyejedi.. Unfortunately, i haven't bought the app yet (i do not have a tablet) have you tried to contact them yet?

DeafEyeJedi

Yes I've tried contacting them on several occasions for the past year or so... So unfathomable!

That a pity.. Oh well, i guess if nothing comes of it i guess you will have to find an alternative to the DSLR Controller... sorry about that
