L & M Compact Monitor with Amphibico Housing

I have a L & M compact monitor (powered from the camera, TRV950). Whats the chances of using it with an amphibico housing? I guess the cable connector will be different etc... just to make things awkward. :glare:

Hi JB,

Yes that is a possibility as I did the very same thing.

There is a bulk head connector you can purchase that connects the two together. They are sold for around £130 - 150 at F.E.P...Just ask them for the 3pin male connector (right angle) adapted for Amphibico housings.

If its a problem just mention me..And prepare for abuse.

Cheers Dean. i wont chuck it out yet then! I do like the look of the amphibico monitors though. Adjustable contrast etc...

Not so fast jonny boy. some of the new sony hd cams don't power out to the monitors. the older compact monitors from L&M have no batteries. no power = no screen. so, if you don't have a battery powered monitor or you are using the fx1/z1 or similar..you are out of luck. wasn't sure if you were using or are still using the trv950. don't buy that connector until you confirm...what are you shooting with?

Sorry my mistake..

I have the 2.5" Matrix monitor with its own power supply.

I do remember someone on here saying that the new camera's don't offer power out to the screen. Oh well, i'll sell it with my setup. I'm using the TRV950.

cheers all
