(Selfie) Monitor
CP5 AND CP5 LITE
CP5 and CP5 Lite are wireless rear camera (selfie) smartphone monitors, with CP5 LIte being the basic version of the CP5. Both are crystal-clear 5-inch full HD monitor that receives the camera signals from the rear camera of the smartphone via wireless transmission.
You can attach the monitor to the back of your smartphone via a magnetic silicone case that comes with the product. This way, it serves as a monitor for selfies and vlogging.
The product also comes with a Bluetooth shutter control, so you don't need the record button on your smartphone to capture photos or videos.
When detached from the smartphone, the CP5 Lite monitor serves as a wireless remote device - up to a distance of 50m. This is a handy functionality for live streaming and monitoring purposes of, for instance, live event registrations.
Differences CP5 Lite vs CP5
CP5 Lite is a basic version of CP5 and has lesser functions than CP5. The monitor of the CP5 Lite is not a touch screen monitor, it does not have a TF card port for external recording and playback functionality, and there is no support for extras such as framing grid, 16:9 image ratio, volume, contrast/saturation, language, and Wi-Fi route mode connection.
Why use the CP5 or CP5 Lite and not the front camera of the smartphone?
The CP5 and CP5 Lite use the smartphone's rear camera, which is better quality and more powerful than the front camera. The rear camera is used for regular photography, video recording, and advanced features like night mode, zoom, and high-resolution shots. Many modern smartphones have multiple rear cameras (wide-angle, normal, macro, etc.) to improve photo and video quality.
The front camera of the smartphone is mainly used for selfies, video calls, and face recognition. It usually has a lower resolution than the rear camera, is often not sufficient in low-light conditions, and has no access to the different focal distances of the rear camera.
With the CP5 and CP5 Lite, you can take advantage of the rear camera of the smartphone and make selfies with better quality using different focal distances. Also, when not attached to the smartphone, you can use it as a remote monitor of whatever the rear camera captures.
In sum, CP5 and CP5 Lite are joyful devices designed to enhance smartphone photography and videography by providing a high-quality display for the rear camera.
Key Features CP5 and CP5 Lite
- High-Resolution Display: The CP5 features a 5-inch Full HD touchscreen, delivering clear and detailed visuals for precise framing and focus.
