Two 7- and 5-inch monitors that control focus, zoom and exposure on the FX5, FX3, FX2 and FX30. They cost $3,099 and $2,299 USD and ship in January 2027.
Starting January 2027, you’ll be able to run your FX5 from the monitor: with the RM-DP7 and RM-DP5 you pull focus, zoom and change exposure without touching the camera.

LATAM read
For one- and two-person crews and for documentary, putting a calibrated image, focus and exposure into a single unit simplifies the rig.

Careful: focus control depends on compatible lenses.
