Works great with Fuji X-T3
One update: It would have been nice if there was a setting to auto rotate the screen if you need to flip it around. So if you flip it around everything is upside down. You have to physically reverse the entire bracket otherwise. Not a dael breaker by any means, but a convenience. I thought I found an option in settings but it did not do anything.Update 2: Looks like there is a menu setting to flip picture. It is not auto but you can assign it to an F button so you can do a couple of clicks and get it to flip. Much easier than having to remove the bracket each time.I only wanted a small portable monitor that could sit along side my camera when needed. This works perfectly. I attach it to a small tripod and it shows my camera screen exactly like I have it setup (focus points etc). Be aware....although they state it, this device will not work if you do not already have some way to power it. Get either the batteries or have DC power that works. My external studio style light power cord had the perfect fit. Once I plugged it in the FeelWorld powered right up. Included HDMI micro cable fit perfectly as well. This is just what I was looking for. I may end up getting the batteries but not sure since it was not what I really needed it for.With the X-T3, using HDMI out, there is zero lag. In the X-T3 menu you can choose whether you want your shooting screen to appear on an external monitor or not. I prefer to have my focus points etc show with this and it works perfectly.

Sharp, efficient power consumption, but poor swivel design.
I have the 5" FEELWORLD F5 swivel model for exactly four month today and I can say its a great monitor for video shooting. Sharp enough to focus without the peaking turned on (I have 20/30 vision). I can see a big difference in sharpness for focusing compared to my other 7" monitor at 1280 x 800 resolution. This monitor, you can select two preset settings so you do not need to go into the menu. Including the swivel bracket and your skinny battery, a very lightweight monitor set-up. The bracket also has a cold shoe for whatever you need. Just keep in mind, the more weight you put up front, may affect your steadiness in shooting.A power consumption of 8W, is very efficient use of power. I use the skinny, Sony type NP-F570 battery made by Wasabi (about $23 for two batteries with charger) and it last me about one hour and 43 minutes plus straight through run.It has a HDMI loop through which I have not used yet.Cons: The swivel does not swivel well. I really fine-tuned the tightness on the wing nut and just can't get it be able to make it stay where I want, other wise just a hairline tighter, and its a bit hard to adjust the angle. On my unit, the monitor sits a little counter-clock wise, this is disturbing. Maybe the manufacture/seller can contact me about that.Other than that, this monitor is a great deal.

A Decent Monitor with Poor Quality Components and No Support
This could have been a four or perhaps a five-star review of the FEELWORLD F5 5 Inch DSLR On Camera Field Monitor had it not been for a few important issues.The monitor itself is decent. It has a perfect size for a DSLR or mirrorless camera. It comes with a mounting bracket. However, while FEELWORLD includes an HDMI to Micro HDMI cable with the Camera Field Monitor, it’s a very poor quality. The cable literally came apart with its second use leaving the plug stuck in my camera’s HDMI port. It took a careful use of needle nose pliers to remove it.I thought about returning the monitor, but not wanting a second low quality cable, I bought a better one from Amazon raising the effective cost of the monitor.Out of the box, the monitor colors are very poor. However, to be fair, I can use a color card and adjust the colors with the monitor’s menu.My biggest disappointment is not with the F5 5 Inch DSLR On Camera Field Monitor. It’s with FEELWORLD itself. The monitor has a 3.5mm audio jack. This is of great value to me for video recording as my camera does not have an earphone jack. However, the audio output from the monitor jack is extremely low no matter what earphone I use. If I only plug the audio jack in partway, the volume out of the jack is much louder. That makes no sense.I contacted FEELWORLD technical support about the issue and never received a reply. If you want to sell a product, support after the sale is as important as the product itself. FEELWORLD apparently doesn’t realize this and so I needed to reduce a four or five star review to two stars due to these issues.

Not bad for what you pay for.
Took this with me to shoot a Music Video for a Country Band and the HDMI cable that came with the monitor is fragile. Seems like the USB end of the cable came right off like butter, when pulled but I assume it was a bad cable that came out of the factory. The hot shoe bracket also kept slipping off of my camera when doing running shots. My opinion is, that this monitor is best for stationary production work. Otherwise, great monitor for the price!
