Can use the 5DMarkII with 16mm 2.8 Lens or the Canon XA25 and can I attached a hdmi field monitor to it?

First of all, you would get good bang for your bucks. The ePhoto Mini Carbon Jib is well constructed and attractive design, I paired the ePhoto jib with matching carbon fiber Sirui T-1205X tripod. They are comparable in weight and size wise and become a center of attention everywhere I go. Yes, you can attach any type of SLR cameras on the jib as long as the total weight of your gear is 3 lb. or under then it would be fine otherwise the jib would bend badly. I do not use monitor but thinking you might be able to attach one, just sandwich between the jib and tripod at center screw so the tripod will carry the weight not the jib.

I don't have any knowledge of your model camera. However, I use the CLM-V55 monitor with my Sony Nex Vg10 camera. I use it for video and photos. Whichever mode I'm using, the monitor shows exactly what the eyepiece shows. It give me a clearer and larger view to focus my shot as well as playing my photos back after picture was taken.

I would not recommend the X5 anymore. Do some more looking as the camera proved to be marginal in image quality.

You sure can...works well on my canon xsi (450d) (field camera), as well as my 7d. Great lens, have fun with it.

Some people suggest 8mm fisheye, which is cheaper instead since you don't care the distortion mainly outside DX sensor. But if distortion is your concern, check some sample pictures taken from 8mm fisheye + DX cameras.

The question is a challenge to answer - are you doing stills or video? USB 2.0 isn't all that fast - HDMI is preferred. I suspect that the USB for a Canon 5D is really for data transfer out of real time, though I am not sure as I don't have a 5 D, I use a 7 D and use HDMI for monitoring. For Image data, I import the files from the CF card. dhnatio

Yes, that's exactly what it's made for: camera with hot shoe only + strobe with PC connector only. I use it for my 6D and Multiblitz strobe. Your Xsi and C-180 situation is exactly the same. Have fun!

I have only used it with a 5DMarkII- worked very well. I did use it strobs but the unit was attached to the camera.

I'm not really sure. I believe I needed to order the unit which had the right AV out for my specific camera. I got it for the 5D MarkII.

If the Canon camera has a mini-HDMI port or a regular HDMI port this monitor will work with the proper cable.

will work with 6d, you may want a longer hdmi cable than the 18" one provided.

I use successfully threaded lenses + fotodiox adapter M42 to canon EOS with Rebel XTi. (Manual focus only!)

Pretty low compared to using a FW connection on the Canon HD20 I was using it with. FW connection >1 second. BMD Mini Recorder using HD20 HDMI output <0.3 second (guessing). Takes some setting up in BMD software (I needed help from distributor) but once it's configured all good.

I have the dual model. I am using it with an HDMI 2701MW (and a HANNS G 25") and it is the weight of the monitor that is the issue, not the size from what I have experienced. My monitor is probably at the weight limit since the monitor will sag on the supporting spring assembly if too heavy - the weight of each may be available on Amazon. I like the unit.

I have a 5d mark ii and a 60d, they use different connection types, the rebel xti probably uses the Aputure 10-AP-TR-IC-CN.

Works with the Canon d7 a friend has, it does include the mini hdmi to reg hdmi cable for the use
