Can the Marshall flip the image? What would you say is the next stepdown from the Marshall?

I believe you can mount the monitor from any of the four sides, so there's no need for a flip function.

Doesn't flip the image.
100% correct. Although you do need to buy a few extra little 1 x1 metal "mounting plates" for the monitor if you want to quickly change to another side. I'm eventually going to get around to ordering one extra one someday so I can have one for the top and bottom. Here's a pdf from Marshall, a picture of the mounting plate is on page 3.

Derek, if you order one, let me know if it's a simple deal. I've been too lazy to call LCDracks to enquire. :P

What are you guys using, carrying case wise, to transport your Marshalls ?

Rick,

I put it in the Pelican 1650 with my camera and other stuff.

If I were not doing this I would probably get a smaller Pelican case and customize the inside for the Marshall, cords, etc. One of the things I like about the Pelican (and I'm sure this is the same for other manufacturers as well) is that I can always buy new foam inserts down the road as equipment changes. So if you get a case for your Marshall and in a year or two decide to sell it and buy another brand and/or type of monitor, you can just get new foam and adjust it accordingly. Or you could use the case for something else entirely different as well.

I use a Pele 1600. Loads of room and ideal. From the top left: Marshall LCD monitor, next to that I have my OTG enclosure, ten some 4x4 Tiffen filters, then a 82mm Nikon Skylight. Under them a Vocas 350 Matte Box, with cables. To the left of the Matte Box is the V-DV-PWR1 Power adaptor and the Sony batteries to power the Marshall. Above the batteries is the hot shoe adaptor.

You can of course go a smaller case than this buut if you have a bit of kit this is ideal.

How much was it to power the Marshall w/ the Sony Batteries ?

And Steev, is the bescor thing still working out for you?

I'm trying to decide which route to go, I was going to order the monitor tomorrow so I can have it by May 15

Yep, it's nice and compact and lasts for about 3-4 hours straight. Get 2 or 3 of them for a long shoot day, if you can afford it. For me, I'd like to get 1 more, for a total of 2 batteries.

The Marshall battery adaptor costs $299. It works superbly. The Sony batteries can be picked up off ebay for around $50 upwards. There is two ports for the Sonys but the adaptor works with just one. The extra slot is for a full day +'s shooting. Getting the bigger sony battery would see you all day really, so the other slot is almost redundant. The advantage of the Marshall adaptor over the Bescor is that there are no extra wires. It clips into the V Mount on the back of the monitor so is wire free and designed to work with the R70. Perfect!

Chris!

What do you think about this: ?

Mucho Nice-o guyz

Where did you get the Sony battery adapter modification done?

thanks

That's actually a product that Marshall makes and sells. I would assume you could get one through any Marshall dealer.
