The HDSLR Revolution
In 2009, the industry was turned upside down by the introduction of the Canon 5D Mark II, a digital still camera that shoots beautiful 1080p video. This was the spark that lit the HDSLR revolution. This camera and others like it forever fused the worlds of still photography with that of film production and spawned a variety of new camera accessories. However, no piece of equipment has been as celebrated as the ikan V5600 5.6-inch HD monitor. Because of its size and quality, the V5600 has become THE monitor of choice for those shooting video with an HDSLR.

Why use a monitor?
Cameras like the Canon 5D Mark II and the 7D are equipped with LCD screens for viewing both stills and video. So why use an external monitor? As handy as these screens may be, their size and other limitations make them unsuitable for professional applications. When focus is critical, the image needs to be as sharp and detailed as possible, and the V5600 insures you will achieve sharp focus every time.

Why the ikan V5600?
One of the biggest issues with embracing the HDSLR revolution is the cost. Not only do you have to buy a camera body but also lenses, compact flash cards and a variety of other “must have” items.
That’s where ikan comes in. We specifically designed the V5600 to have great resolution, be extremely light weight and cost effective so everyone can access this essential piece of camera equipment. With a crisp 1024 x 600 resolution and weighing under a pound, ikan has achieved its goal of creating a quality monitor to carry you through the HDSLR revolution and beyond.
