Hello,

I recently asked myself the following question: is it possible to use a smartphone (which now has relatively large screens) as a monitor (that is, acting as our current LCD monitors) via an HDMI cable (or other?) to assist in photo/video taking on devices like the 5D Mark II?

Having it always within reach, wouldn't that be a time/space saver on wild shoots?

I understand that the output quality may not be the same, but it is a point I would still like to clarify.

Thank you in advance.
