Blackmagic PYXIS Monitor Kit Summary

The Blackmagic PYXIS Monitor Kit offers an additional, versatile mounting option that complements the PYXIS camera and works with existing mounting accessories. Thanks to a built-in accelerometer, this video camera monitor can be mounted forward or rear facing, ensuring a perfect image regardless of how it’s positioned, and catering to the camera operator or presenter as required.

Whether mounted directly on the camera or an external gimbal, the PYXIS Monitor allows for full monitoring and camera control, even when it’s mounted remotely out of reach, where it relies on the USB connection for remote control.

It features a bright tally light, which is ideal for teams and solo creators, allowing you to manage presenting and operating the camera during one-person productions. The screen is a daylight viewable 5-inch 1500 nit high brightness touchscreen, which features machined round edges and metal design cues, which complement the PYXIS and URSA pro video cameras perfectly.

The monitor connects via USB in order to extend camera functions with live video, HUD settings and menus, and this kit includes a fully-featured removable sunshade, Monitor Swivel Mount, Monitor Fixed Mount and screws, Dovetail Shoe and screws. This ensure that you have everything needed for versatile mounting options from the outset, although the monitor is also available as a PYXIS Monitor EVF Kit, which adds various rods to the bundle.

Touchscreen Monitoring with Full Camera Control

This PYXIS monitor offers the same intuitive controls and overlays as the PYXIS’ built-in LCD, which is ideal when mounted remotely on rigging or accessories obstruct the camera display. With multiple mounting points, it can be easily attached to any rig, acting as a large screen with easier focusing and framing.

Alternatively, it can be used as an assist station, allowing the crew to frame and monitor shots from anywhere on set via the included USB cable in this kit. The monitor includes three customisable buttons for quick access to essential features like zebra, focus assist, and false colour. These can be activated even when the monitor faces the camera-person, thanks to their tactile and easily recognisable designs.

The bright 1500-nit display and detachable sunshade ensure excellent visibility, even under direct sunlight in outdoor sets and location shoots. The included sunshade from BlackMagic can be folded down to act as a screen protector and boasts the same stylish design cues as the camera and screen.
