The Accsoon SeeMo 4K turns your iPhone into a pro video monitor

The Accsoon SeeMo 4K allows you to use your smartphone as a video monitor for your camera. A high resolution monitor can make a huge difference when capturing video content with a professional camera. The issue is that the high end video monitors by brands like SmallHD and Atomos are hundreds of dollars on top of what you would spend for your camera and lenses. You can go the budget route, but the sacrifices made to the screen quality and monitoring features to get the price down are significant. 

Accsoon must have asked themselves the question “Why can’t we just use the incredible screens that we carry around everywhere we go?” iPhones are designed for a fantastic screen experience; high resolution displays and brightness that allows users to use them in bright sunlight with no issues. All features you want in a video monitor for your camera.

Key Features of the Accsoon SeeMo 4K

The SeeMo 4K is not only a monitor that receives an HDMI feed from your camera, you can also record high quality, 4K video directly to your device. This could serve as a vital asset for content creators who want the quality and depth of field of a high end camera and lens with the convenience of being able to edit and post directly on their phone. 

One thing to note, this device works for iOS devices only. Your android smartphone or tablet is not compatible. It does work exceedingly well for Apple devices. There was very little fiddling and troubleshooting; things just worked. I noticed extremely little latency. It’s powered by a standard Sony NPF battery (not included with the device) that powers both the SeeMo 4K and the device it’s plugged into. It can also be powered externally via USB-C so if you want to rig it up to a larger battery for more life you can do so.

Accsoon SeeMo 4K for Content Creators and Filmmakers

While it seems like they may be marketing to the beginner filmmakers and folks looking for a great display on a budget, I actually think this makes a ton of sense in the content creator world. For those already using mobile editors like CapCut, being able to have high quality footage from a professional video setup without the process of recording to a memory card, dumping that footage on a computer to then Airdrop or using SD card reader adapters to slowly download footage to your device is a game-changer. Not to mention you can live stream directly from the Accsoon See App.

For traditional filmmakers, the Accsoon See app contains the video monitoring tools that you would see in a professional kit. Peaking, false color, zebras, LUTs, and much more. The app itself is very user friendly and easy to find the features and settings you need. While many will opt for a dedicated video monitor and recorder, the Accsoon SeeMo 4K is a solid option even for use in professional settings.

Conclusion

There is a lot out in the market for streaming a video feed from a professional camera to a mobile device for monitoring. This is the only device that I’ve seen that allows you to connect your iPhone or iPad directly to your camera to use it as a monitor as well as be able to record directly to your smartphone. It’s really impressive and well executed by Accsoon.

If you are in the market for a video monitor for your camera take a look at the specs of your iPhone display and imagine using that. It’s not a device made for everyone. Heck, android users may as well have skipped this article altogether. But it is a fantastic option for the right people. Those looking for great specs and features at a lower price point than most options that have what the Accsoon SeeMo 4K has. In my opinion using this with the newer iPad Minis is one of the best video monitor combinations I’ve used; giving you a great display at a great size for content creation.
