My review of the cost-effective IKAN V8000HD 8â€? LCD focus/framing monitor is in the September issue of DV Magazine, you can read it online here (if you haven’t already).
The FreshDV crew conducted our tests with a HVX200 on Zacuto rods outfitted with a Cinevate Brevis 35mm lens adapter, Zeiss 85mm PL-mount cine lens, assorted Zeiss ZF Nikon-mount lenses, and a variety of matte boxes and follow focus units. More full rig pictures below.

hello nice review i was wondering did u use indi focus slider dolly? is that any good where can i find reviews on it?
thanks
We have had a quick look at the IndiSlider, and it is a very interesting solution. I understand that a number of shooters use the device, and like it. However, in the very short time that we had with the slider, we noted some issues with it binding with a heavy camera rig, you really had to nurse it along to get smooth results. But, we weren’t completely satisfied that it was setup correctly. Due to those questions and tight time constraints, FreshDV was unable to do a fair and proper review of the unit. Perhaps in the future.
