It’s hard sometimes to see whether your image is in focus on your standard LCD screen. Even the most generous screen – 3.2” on the EOS 5D Mark III, IV (3 & 4) etc – isn’t always big enough for what you’re trying to do.
The Swivi overcomes both these issues and is a useful tool whether you are shooting video or still images. The Swivi adds a large 5.6 inch swivel LCD screen to cameras with an HDMI socket and offers a high definition Live View image through your camera’s HDMI output. It mounts and locks to the camera using the tripod socket and plugs neatly into the HDMI socket on the left-hand side of a EOS camera. Adjustments can be made both the base and to the side of the Swivi to ensure a good overall appearance and fit with your camera. The LCD screen can swivel round and out, and can flip over 180 degrees whilst still retaining the image the correct way up. The Swivi can still be mounted to a tripod via the metal 1/4” thread underneath. In addition to providing you with a much clearer view and replay of your work, the Swivi also offers a peaking mode.

Peaking shows you what’s in focus by outlining the areas in focus in green. This gives you confidence that you are getting it right first time and that you are getting better accuracy on framing and focusing, with less chance of reshooting the scene. Screen ratio is 4:3 and resolution is 800x600. Contrast rate is 500:1. The Swivi is powered by a Canon LP-E6 battery or equivalent. You get an LP-E6 compatible battery in the box, along with a removable sun shade which clips on in seconds so that the screen is visible even in bright outdoor light.
The 5.6” LCD screen comes with a screen protector. Your camera controls remain accessible on the back of the camera.
The Swivi can also zoom in and out for even more detail and accuracy of shot. You can adjust the colour temperature on the screen for more realistic colouring. There are also in-built stereo speakers, so you can replay the sound as well as the images. A short microphone jack is supplied so that your microphone can be plugged into the camera.

Dimensions 160 x 117 x 83mm. Weighs 500g.

It retails at £270 at the EOS mag shop, which is what I paid.

The battery used is a 3rd party product and will possibly need to be replaced within the next 6–12 months and no, this kit has never been used, but these do not like to be unused for 12+ months. Cheap to replace for £15-20 or so on here or may be eBay, but you can use a spare EOS LP-E6 or LP-E6N battery, including from Hahnel and others instead or an AC-E6 AC adaptor (see my others for sale items) if used near an AC power source.

Bought for use with videography but, like the rest of such kit including the sound record equipment (see my other items for sale - over the next few days / week), never used, as the intention was to record the grand children, but they move around quicker than I can move the camera (EOS 5D 3 and 4) where the 5D 3 had the Magic Lantern firmware addition set up on one of my SD cards so would work with this monitor as well.

Note that some of the photos were taken using flash, and it shows some specks, etc or similar - there is none other than very light dust as my wife has a window open, when I was taking the photos.

Any question please ask and will try and answer, but I have never used this kit, so anything will be from the documentation.
