Canon R6 II Looking to buy two monitors for the R6 Mark II

[ATx]

I need two monitors for the R6 MarkII, I mainly record cooking videos for youtube but I need a bigger screen than whats on the cameras.
Thanks in advance

I have a $99 external screen that works well but is not stellar. A few questions:

Do you need to:

1. record the camera's LCD screen settings
2. or only display what you're recording

Do you need the external screen to:

1. pass the video signal through to your computer
2. or are you only recording to the camera SD card

Do you need:

1. a 4K screen
2. or just Full HD (1920x1080)

Update: I originally assumed you want smaller (5"-10") camera- or tripod-mounted monitors. But if you have a computer in the mix, you could use two (19" or larger?) monitors. With a laptop, you'd need a dual-HDMI docking station; a desktop might have dual HDMI outputs already.

Camera > HDMI > USB Converter > Computer > (Docking Station) > Dual Monitors

If no computer, you could see if daisy-chaining two monitors would work:

Camera > HDMI > Monitor 1 HDMI In > HDMI Out > Monitor 2

Hello Steven, good questions. I shoot in 4K, using 256 cards so don't need to record to the monitor, I just want to see what I am recording. I do not edit so it doesn't need to be too fancy but I do want to see what I'm recording in better detail. Prefer to mount on the camera or a cage setup on the camera, not going to computer, just to the card.
Thank you

You could do worse than this 10" touchscreen model from FeelWorld. From the reading I've done, I believe you could daisy chain two of these together. But don't quote me because I've never tried it. I have a 5" model from the same manufacturer, and it works well (but I've never tried any other brand). Mine came from B&H.
