@AJHenderson I'm looking for a solution for field situations. WiFi to mobile would be nice. USB to mobile might work too.
Samsung has got a Remote Viewfinder solution. I wonder if it works only for cameras made by Samsung.
[By the way, would this inquiry about remote viewfinder options make a good enough question for the Photo.SE main board?]
Let's see if there was a similar question already. Seems like there was one:

@NickAlexeev While we have had some questions about remote viewfinders/monitors (such as the one you linked), seems to me Video Production would be a more natural fit, especially since your intended use case appears to be video. @AJHenderson mods both, maybe he can opine on the best place for your question.
@NickAlexeev huh, I'd probably have VtC that question as OT, perhaps suggest migrating to [ee.se]. Out of curiosity, why is it OT over there (as you say, "for the right reasons")?
