Monitor
A monitor is a screen that allows you to view and control your DSLR. It's a necessary tool for making sure your camera is working properly (and it can also double as a second screen for editing). If you're shooting video with your DSLR, then having a monitor is almost essential; it makes things easier while filming and helps prevent mistakes from happening.
What to look for in a monitor?
Here are some things that are important when looking for an external monitor: size, resolution, brightness, color accuracy and viewing angle. The first three affect how well you can see what's going on during filming; the last two affect how easy it'll be for others around you (who aren't looking at their own monitors) to see what's being shown on yours.
