1 + 1 Monitors = Travelling Magic

The Field Monitor Pro is a traveling paradox. It’s a generous full-color backlit LED screen, yet weighs just 4 pounds. Comparable alternatives weight twice that. Despite its lightweight status, it’s built with double-thick protective casing and carries a full-year warranty.
