Built to Survive the Most Demanding Shoots
Life on the field can be challenging, especially in fast-paced environments. The Portkeys MT22DS II ships in a durable EPP case, 60% lighter than a traditional flycase, without compromising on protection: it’s drop-resistant, can withstand impacts, floats, is flame-retardant, and can even hold gear on top or serve as a stool.
Inside the case, the monitor itself is housed in an all-aluminum enclosure for maximum durability on location. An optional screen protector is available to guard the display against impacts, fingerprints, and scratches.
A Real Production Hub
The MT22DS II is designed to act as a hub on location or in the studio. It features two V-Mount/Gold Mount battery plates and a 4-pin XLR 12-24V power input, plus three built-in, rotatable Sony NP-F-style battery plates at the top with pass-through power for wireless video receivers.
A broad array of 1/4″-20 and 3/8″-16 mounting points on all sides accommodates camera accessories, wireless video transmitters, and follow-focus units, while large built-in feet and VESA 100 mounting points at the back add further flexibility. An optional Portkeys VESA Mount to 5/8″ baby pin adapter plate is also available.
