SmallHD INDIE 5: The Ultimate 5-Inch Touchscreen Monitor for Filmmakers
Elevate your on-set workflow with the SmallHD INDIE 5, the most compact and lightweight monitor in the acclaimed Smart 5 Series. Designed for filmmakers, cinematographers, and creators who demand performance without the bulk, the INDIE 5 packs a powerful suite of professional tools into a rugged, go-anywhere package. Its stunning 5-inch touchscreen boasts a brilliant 1000nits of brightness, ensuring a crystal-clear, daylight-viewable image in any shooting environment. The Full HD (1920x1080) resolution and true 10-bit color depth guarantee that what you see is what you get, providing the color accuracy and detail needed for critical focus and exposure decisions.
At the heart of the INDIE 5 is SmallHD’s powerful PageOS 5 software. This intuitive operating system provides an unparalleled user experience, giving you access to an entire arsenal of industry-leading tools. Set up custom user pages with your favorite monitoring functions—like Waveform, Vectorscope, False Color, and 3D LUTs—and swipe through them with ease. With customizable on-screen Touch Function Buttons, you can create shortcuts to your most-used tools, dramatically speeding up your on-set efficiency. The future of camera control is also built-in, with an interface anchored to every page, allowing you to view and adjust crucial camera functions directly from the monitor (requires optional camera control license).
The INDIE 5 isn't just a display; it's a creative partner. It features exclusive, game-changing tools like EL Zone, a revolutionary stop-based exposure system developed by legendary cinematographer Ed Lachman, ASC. EL Zone translates complex IRE values into simple f-stops, making perfect exposure more intuitive than ever before. For focus pullers, the integrated Teradek RT overlays provide critical lens data for focus, iris, and zoom right on the screen. You can create visual marks on the focus scale, set limits, and even pinch-to-zoom for hyper-accurate focus changes. Combined with practical features like the built-in digital Horizon Indicator, the SmallHD INDIE 5 is the essential, feature-packed monitor for modern content creation.
