And a properly mounted Shinobi 7" with all the metering modes is even nicer - add the rails and mounts and it is way cheaper than an Z9 upgrade. Of course not as compact but then the Z9 hardly is.
Interesting, I've never met someone who uses an external video monitor for landscape stills. No judgment here, just curiosity. How is it, real world speaking?
The 7" Shinobi monitor is really nice for working with very precise manual focus lenses such as the Otus series. The Shinobi has quite a few modes for viewing including peaking, zebra, histograms, etc. and of course its very color accurate. The external mount offers positional freedom depending on the mounting you might use. I am setup on a BrightTangerine Left Field mount which is a whole 'nother level - but I share it all with a Cinema Rig. A really nice EVF like Zacuto would also work.
Now how usable? if I am just setting up a shot for a few minutes, best to just work the usual way with an RRS + your fave tripod. If I plan to wait awhile for light, clouds, etc.... then it can be worth the extra few minutes to rig up.
