Portkeys LH5C – 5.4" monitor with camera control

The Portkeys LH5C is designed for the modern content creator who needs a compact yet powerful display to accompany their camera. This 5.4-inch monitor combines a stunning 1500 nits of brightness with Portkeys’ renowned camera control technology. It’s an optimal choice, especially for Sony and Panasonic photographers who want to keep their camera rig lightweight without sacrificing professional-grade features.

Control your camera directly from the monitor: The LH5C is not just a passive monitor. By connecting a control cable, you can adjust critical camera settings such as recording, focus and aperture directly from the monitor's touchscreen - an ideal feature, especially when using a gimbal.

Smart user interface and professional tools

The LH5C uses Portkeys’ intuitive user interface, optimized for fast touch operation. You can load your own 3D LUT color profiles onto the monitor via USB stick, allowing you to see the final color specification right at the shooting stage. The software includes all the essential analysis tools, such as accurate Waveform, histogram, anamorphic image de-squeeze and Focus Peaking, which helps ensure perfect focus in every shot.

The monitor's HDMI input supports 4K signals up to 30p, and the Full HD resolution panel provides a very sharp and clear image. The LH5C is also an excellent choice for vloggers, as its brightness and clarity make it easy to monitor yourself in all conditions.

Flexible power supply and quiet operation

The monitor has an integrated Sony NP-F battery plate on the back, which keeps power consumption to a minimum, providing long operating times. In addition, the device has a DC input (7-24V) through which the monitor can be connected to an external power source. An intelligent cooling system ensures that the monitor stays cool even during long shooting days without fan noise interfering with audio recording.
