King Ma4K 30FPS Phone Vlog Selfie Monitor Screen, Wired Mini Monitor for iPhone Rear Camera with Magnetic Phone Clip & Bluetooth Remote for Vlog Live Stream TikTok

This device is very useful for someone looking to record for video or audio for podcasts, YouTube, and webinar/course creation. Here are some questions I had.Can it operate without a power cord?Yes. It has a built in, rechargeable battery.Can it be used wirelessly?Yes. If you choose the device as your wireless SSID source (WiFi on your iPhone) and then mirror your phone, then you will see it on your phone. (Note that the monitor also needs to be in mirroring mode. There is a slider switch on the side.) See photo showing the screen-mirror with no cords at all.Why is wireless useful? The devices do not have to be in the same place so you can record a distance away like action footage, you can charge your iPhone while you record and monitor yourself, or you can attach a USB mic like a Blue Yeti to your iPhone while still monitoring- it’s not an either/or situation.What cables does it come with?It comes with 2 cables.It comes with a sharp USBC to USB A cable to power and charge the monitor. (I used one that I already had.) It also comes with a short USB C to USB C device to connect the monitor to your iPhone if it has a USB C connection. My iPhone 12 has a lightning port. And it works with a lighting to USB C cable that I had. It should also work if I added a USBC to lightning adapter with the provided cable. (I did not use either of the supplied cables.)What happens when you use a wired connection?It’s very, very easy to connect this way. You just turn it on and wait a few seconds. Then it will mirror your screen. See photo. ( I also switched the screen mirroring mode to the other side… not sure if this was required as the settings are not readable or mentioned in the manual.)Can it be used with a tripod? Yes! It has a threaded 1/4” hole at the bottom. See pic.Can you mount it to a phone? Yes! See my pic. I am using a MagSafe mount with a cold shoe adapter in the cold shoe port on the monitor.This means it is easy to have a standalone recording set up where you can see yourself. See pic there I am holding this completely wireless assembly; I had not yet attached it to a tripod but hopefully you get the idea.To me, paying $50 for a monitor that shows you that it is not viewing the area behind it instead of you is a much better deal than a $25 reflection mirror because the two can operate a distance from each other, such as a teleprompter mode. Additionally, being able to pick up a tripod with the iPhone and move it to a different area.Do you need to install an app? No. There is a QR code that takes you to an IP address - just like a router’s admin settings does.Do you need the manual? No, not really. The instructions are on screen when you turn the device on. But, reading both helped me to understand how to use it. Now, I shouldn’t need it anymore. I did find the diagrams on the features page to be very helpful to make sure that I had the USB cords connected in the right slot and knew how to power it on.Comments - As you can see from my set up, seeing what I am doing is very important to me. I am using both a mirror and a camera screen to see what is being recorded and to make talking to a camera feel more natural. Along those lines, I like that I can see what the iPhone is recording if I am using it as a camera and not just what should be in frame. Here, I am using it with my camera as a teleprompter. I like that it is a monitor that I can set up once and leave in place rather than having to keep fussing with the setup. I like that it leaves me free to use my iPhone.So, I feel that this device is extremely versatile and infinitely helpful. If I had known about it, I am not sure if I would have bought a camera. But, as I have both, I feel like this really adds the possibility of both a fixed teleprompter setup where my phone is free to use and the opportunity to create a multicam set-up where I can see what is being recorded. If this is not what you are looking for, I hope that this review gives you an idea of what this is and helps you to not fall into the misunderstandings that other buyers seem to have fallen into.Final note - I noted that the wireless mode is limited to 1080p. First, if does not matter at all if I am using my iPhone as a teleprompter. As a camera, there is a debate as to where 4k is needed at all. Some argue that a majority of people are using their iPhone or other mobile devices to consume content rather than a large monitor. This sounds compelling to me. Still, I do like having the option for 4k if wired. But, as this is just a monitor and not what is being recorded, I am confused about this still at this time.

I love this little gadget - I can cast the screen wirelessly and wired. I'm a little disappointed that the wired connection doesn't work when I connect it through a USB-C hub, but I am using it wirelessly. Overall, I cannot see any lag and the wireless clicker is a life saver... Overall, this has helped me improve the quality of my videos. It was very easy to use and install.

Works as avertised. Fairly easy to setup. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is it was a bit awkward to mount and use everything at first.

I tried this product and tried for over an hour to get it to connect to my phone. But couldn't get it to work. The device kept saying it wadnt conpatible with ny device. Its too bad. It seamed really great. The graphics on the device seam to be great quality especially for the minute size of the icons.

Works and syncs perfectly with my Samsung Galaxy while shooting 4k video or taking photos. It's extremely easy to pair and set up for quick use. This is what it advertises and what it does. If I can suggest a few upgrades, they would be to make the screen a touchscreen, and be able to control the main ohone camera shutter with the monitor to record/stop and zoom.

Perfect to make context

I was excited when I placed the order but unfortunately the quality and price has no match. Kind of disappointed.The display screen was not clear with stretching effect made me to return this item. Also setting up the device for connection wasn’t easy at all.

Nice product
