At IBC 2025, Johnnie stopped by the FEELWORLD booth to chat with Ting Feng about their latest release, the P6XL 6-inch, on-camera monitor. At first glance, it looks like another compact field monitor, but one key feature really makes it stand out: a built-in battery.
FEELWORLD is no stranger to the monitor market. The company recently introduced larger broadcast director monitors, including the FEELWORLD SEETEC P133 PRO and P215 PRO, which we covered just last month.
With the new P6XL, FEELWORLD shifts their focus back to portability. Ting described the unit as a βpocket monitorβ, emphasizing its compact size and convenience for smaller rigs.
Most small monitors rely on an external battery plate for Sony NP-F or similar batteries. That usually adds weight and bulk to the back of the unit, which can throw off balance on a gimbal or compact mirrorless setup.
The P6XL solves this by packing a 3000mAh battery inside the monitor. The result is a lightweight, pocket-friendly monitor that pairs well with smaller cameras such as the Sony ZV-E10, Fujifilm X-S20, or Canon R7. Without a large battery hanging off the back, rigs stay compact and balanced.
The built-in battery runs for about two hours at full brightness. While that will not power you through a full shoot, you can recharge or run it using USB-C or connect an external power bank.
The 6-inch, 1920 x 1080 IPS touchscreen reaches 1,200 nits brightness, which works well outdoors, especially with the included sun hood. The P6XL includes the professional monitoring tools we have come to expect from compact, on-camera monitors, such as:
One feature that Ting pointed out is the onion skin image overlay, which allows creators to compare frames with a semi-transparent reference for easier alignment.
The P6XL currently includes HDMI input only. Ting mentioned that an HDMI output version could arrive in the future if enough users request it.
The P6XL focuses on solving a real problem: weight and balance when working with small cameras. Travel shooters, documentary filmmakers, and anyone who values compact setups will likely appreciate the design.
The two-hour runtime and HDMI input limitation leave room for improvement, but the monitorβs brightness, features, and price make it an attractive option at $200.
In the box, you will find the sun hood, a Type-C cable, a Micro HDMI to HDMI cable, and a user manual, so you can get started right away without needing to buy basic accessories separately.
The FEELWORLD P6XL is available now for $199.99. You can order it through B&H or directly from Feelworldβs website.
Is two hours of runtime long enough for your shooting needs? What do you think about the FEELWORLD P6XL and their built-in battery approach? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
