In this project, we're going to make a DIY monitor using an 5 inch HDMI touch screen and a 3D printed enclosure.

A display monitor is a very helpful tool for video production, you can check the pictures right away to make the adjustment。

OK, let's find out what we need:

1. A camera which support HDMI output. such as NICON or Cannon and so on.

2. 3D printer.

3. 5 Inch 800*480 HDMI Resistive Touch Screen LCD Display for Raspberry Pi 2/3/B+

4. HDMI cable with MiniHDMI cable or a MiniHDMI converter.

5. A bracket, you can just design it and print it by 3D printer or make it by yourself.

6. M3 screw X 4

Print Out the Screen Enclosure and Assemble It.
