Atomos Shinobi II 5.2 inch HDMI HDR Monitor
Atomos is well known for their recording monitors such as the Ninja 5.2" but the Shinobi series (5" and 7") was the exception that didn't have this capability. The new Shinobi II doesn't feature recording as its predecessor but it gains camera control capability thanks to its new USB-C port and updated AtomOS 11 interface. Currently, these controls are compatible with most Canon, Panasonic, Sony, and Z CAM E2 series. Still, there is a planned future update to add support for Fujifilm, Nikon, OM systems, and Sigma cameras. The main camera controls on the interface are white balance, aperture, shutter speed, shutter angle, and ISO.
Shinobi II has a Single Sony L-Series Battery Slot
One of the most important improvements on the Mark II especially you are planning to use your monitor outdoors under bright light is the new screen with increased 1500 cd/m² Brightness levels(Atomos Shinobi 5" was capped at 1000 cd/m²).

The Atomos Shinobi II is available for $349.
