Portkeys PT5 scope of delivery
Accessories included
Portkeys PT5 comes in a small case with a sun visor, one HDMI to HDMI (AA) cable, one HDMI to micro HDMI (AD) cable, and a cold shoe monitor mount. The presence of a case is a huge plus, I carry my two monitors with me on set in the boxes in which the monitors were sold. This is not the best solution at all, and the special case is very useful. But I do not use the complete HDMI cables, instead of them I get twisted ones, they are more convenient to work with.
