The Portkeys PL5 is a 5.4-inch on-camera monitor that doubles up as a live-streaming capture card. Made out of ABS and polycarbonate, the PL5 weighs only 154.5g/5.45oz and has dimensions of only 5.3 x 3.3 x 0.8" (135.1 x 82.5 x 22mm). This compact and lightweight monitor won’t weigh you down while adding a plethora of helpful monitoring and live streaming features to your camera setup.
The PL5 features a 5.4-inch 10-bit (8+2 FRC) touchscreen display with a resolution of 1920 x 1152, a maximum brightness of 500nits, a 1000:1 contrast ratio, and an extensive 178° viewing angle.
Powered by Portkeys’ latest operating system, MOVNORM OS, the PL5 is a breeze to use and navigate, and it comes with all the professional monitoring tools you need to make precise and confident decisions on set, including:
On the left side of the monitor, you’ll find one 4K DCI 30p HDMI video input port, one 3.5mm headphone jack, and one 3.5mm microphone input. All of the video output ports are located on the right side of the PL5, with one HDMI output port and one USB 3.0 Type-C video output port, both of which support resolutions up to 1080P60.
However, more than a monitor, the PL5 is also a live-streaming device with a USB-C video output port. It can connect to a desktop or laptop computer and broadcast to any platform via OBS.
Designed as an all-in-one solution, we also implemented multiple features to make your life easier:
At the back of the Portkeys PL5, you’ll find a built-in Sony NP-F style battery plate. With a low power draw of only 7W, a small and lightweight Sony NP-F 550 battery can power the monitor for over two hours. You can power the PL5 externally via its USB-C port if you need longer runtimes. Lastly, there is one USB-A port at the bottom of the monitor for future firmware updates and for loading custom LUTs.
To mount the Portkeys PL5 on your camera, camera rig, tripod, or gimbal, there are two 1/4 “-20 mounting points with locating pins at the bottom and right sides of the monitor.
