With a price tag of just $799, monitoring in high-definition has never been easier on you or your wallet. Become a part of the Resolution Revolution – your eyes won’t ever want to see anything else.
Don’t let clunky equipment bog you down - the DP1’s ultra-lightweight, extremely sturdy, solid anodized aluminum enclosure makes mobility a no-brainer with the monitor weighing in at only 1.75lbs, freeing you to think about the task at hand rather than back surgery.
The DP1 is the first monitor of its size with an an actual HD resolution of 1280x768; over three times the amount of pixels than other video monitors of a similar size and price range, delivering the most true to life picture available. Speed up your production pace, eliminate the usual guesswork of accurate focusing and be confident your shots will look right the first time, every time.
...The fact that I didn’t buy one of the 800x480 “HD” field monitors that are so expensive. The fact that when we wrap shooting and finally get back to edit: no surprises! What I saw on the set, I see in Final Cut on my HD studio monitor.
Don’t let the editing room be where you find mistakes; avoid expensive, time consuming re-shoots by shooting and reviewing takes in high definition on set with the DP1.
Find focus instantly with the confidence of true HD. Speed up production time through precision high definition focus and framing.
The DP1 allows you to perfectly focus your shots, allowing you to focus your energy towards the bigger picture without wasting time dealing with inferior technology.
This is really a great product for the money and I would have been sunk without it. It makes focusing with a lens adapter actually feasible and accurate. It also looks really fantastic hanging off the camera; it is an impressive piece of gear worth every penny.
From the Canon HV20/30 to the Sony EX1/EX3 all the way to the RED Digital Cinema camera and everything in between*, the DP1 accepts an incredibly wide range of signals. With such features as custom overscan to accommodate unorthodox menu sizes and others like aspect ratio adjustment, your DP1 will display the picture you’re meant to see.
*Any camera with HDMI, Component (YPbPr), S-Video or Composite (CVBS) outputs
I'm blown away by the DP1 and probably need to chill out on the rack focusing, but things are so clear now I can hardly control myself.
Built with 6 standard 1/4”-20 mounting points right into its solid aluminum enclosure, the DP1 is easily attached to anything your camera can couple with, such as tripods or articulating arms. There’s even a mount point on top for 35mm adapter users who need the monitor flipped upside-down.
No matter what monitor you use - contrast ratios suffer severely in bright sunlight. Protect your eyes from the imposing glare and excessive ambience of the sun with the optional low-profile, lightweight, extremely sturdy click-in sunhood. Assembly takes only 10 seconds and tear-down even less; when collapsed will fit alongside a DP1 and battery in the optional neoprene sleeve.
This monitor is very well built - love the case, the weight of it, and the accessories for it. The batteries are terrific, and the sunshade is a revelation. The costs on everything are downright fair. The monitor shipped when you said it would, and everything has performed very well.
At last, a battery option with mobility in mind. The optional SmallHD 26Wh Battery will power the DP1 for over 2 hours, despite being about the size of a toaster pastry. Quick charging means continuous use with two batteries; one charging and one powering the DP1. If you happen to be by a power outlet during a scene, the battery can charge while simultaneously powering the monitor.
The DP1’s 179-degree viewing angle means screen viewing need not be straight on. Review footage in a group without the need for multiple monitors, saving precious time on-set.
Unmatched Warranty: Twice the industry standard. Covering any manufacturer’s defects, the DP1 warranty lasts 2 years from the date of purchase for that extra peace of mind.

You guys were more than willing to listen to me ramble off question after question. It really made the difference in purchasing your product vs. a competitor.I must say that the customer service is second to none as well as I was replied to and helped super quick. I couldn’t be happier with my decision.I only called when gathering info before buying. Forgotten the names but I talked to whoever answered the phone and he even transferred me to a tech for a question, both were very nice, took their time with my novice questions and pretty much sealed the deal for me at that point.
