Field Monitors
Professional monitoring solutions for your Belgian production.
Here is how this works in practice. Field monitors are portable, high-resolution displays used by camera operators and directors to review focus, exposure, and composition on location. Pro field monitors give accurate color reproduction, waveform tools, and bright screens visible in outdoor conditions, making them key for location work.
Here is the short of it. We give field monitors with the screen sizes, resolution, and feature sets your camera department needs. Our team sources locally ready units compatible with your camera's output signals and sets up delivery with your wider gear package for a streamlined prep process.

On Location
Field monitors in Belgium are sourced from a deep Brussels-area rental base, with brightness and weather protection chosen for shoots that move between dim medieval interiors and the open North Sea coast.
Here is the breakdown. We give field monitors with the screen sizes, resolution and feature sets your camera department needs, sourcing locally ready units compatible with your camera's output signals and setting up delivery with the wider gear package. Our team supplies on-camera monitors such as SmallHD and Atomos units, director's monitors from 17 to 32 inches, HDR-capable reference displays and calibrated playback monitors. Belgium's deep gear-rental market, concentrated in Brussels and across Flanders and Wallonia and sustained by the scale of Tax Shelter-funded service production, keeps monitor inventory close to most locations. The compact geography means kit reaches Ghent, Antwerp or the Ardennes within a couple of hours, and for pro HDR or large-format monitors not held locally, gear moves freely by road from France, the Netherlands and Germany under EU single-market rules.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Belgium's shooting conditions shape monitor selection. The temperate maritime climate, mild but often wet and cloudy, means exterior monitors need rain protection and we plan video village so director and client displays sit under cover. The same damp air calls for condensation management when monitors move between heated interiors and wet exteriors. The soft grey northern light is rarely harsh. But bright daylight-readable monitors still matter when sun breaks through over the coast or the Ardennes. We calibrate all monitors before delivery so on-set color decisions hold true. For non-EU shoots, monitors clear through Belgian customs on ATA Carnets, with Brussels Airport as the main air-freight gateway, and our team handles the records so kit moves cleanly into the country.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What on-camera monitors do you recommend?
For most shoots, we recommend SmallHD 702 Touch or the Atomos Ninja series for their combination of image quality, brightness, and versatility. They give great daylight visibility and useful tools like waveforms and LUTs.
What size director's monitor is standard?
17-inch monitors are common for video village, though we also give 24-inch and 32-inch options for larger setups. The choice depends on viewing distance, number of people tracking, and space constraints.
Can you provide wireless video?
Yes, we supply Teradek Bolt and Vaxis wireless systems for reliable, zero-latency video transmission. These allow directors and clients to monitor without being tethered to the camera.
Do monitors come calibrated?
Yes, we calibrate all monitors before delivery using pro calibration gear. This makes sure accurate color representation across your tracking chain.
What about HDR monitoring?
We give HDR-capable monitors for shoots needing high dynamic range tracking. This has Sony OLED monitors and SmallHD Cine series with appropriate brightness and color gamut.
Can you set up complete video villages?
Yes, we give complete video village solutions including many director's monitors, client monitors, wireless receivers, and all needed distribution and cabling.
