SWIVI: A GIANT DSLR LCD SCREEN (VIDEO)


Sometimes your DSLR’s LCD screen just isn’t large enough to impress the ladies.  Come on, you know who you are.  And that’s why you should throw down $330 for this over sized LCD screen called Swivi which provides what should be not just a large image, but a crisp and accurate one.

Corner to corner it measures 5.6-inches, which is large enough to easily view videos and photos in exceptional detail thanks to its 800×600 resolution.  It attaches to any
DSLR’s tripod mount and utilizes the camera’s HDMI port for what hopefully results in a live view, though we’re not sure all DSLRs can accomplish this feat via this port.  Nonetheless, in addition to swiveling 180 degrees in a variety of directions, the screen boasts the following specs: 4:3 ratio, 350 cd/m2 brightness, 500:1 contrast ratio and at least a 120 degree viewing angle. 

 To power the Swivi you can opt between a Canon LP-E6 battery (not included) or a AAA battery adapter  (included).
The Swivi is available now and includes a free sun shade.
