Recording high‑quality video with a phone should be simple, but relying on the small built-in screen often makes self‑shooting frustrating. Without a clear viewfinder, you end up guessing composition, focus, and exposure – leading to wasted retakes and inconsistent results. A touch screen monitor for phone changes that by giving you a larger real‑time display that shows exactly what your camera captures, with interactive controls that let you adjust settings without touching the phone itself.
The SYNCO XView M4 Touch takes this concept further by bringing true touchscreen control and reverse phone control to mobile recording. This product is designed to help creators shoot confidently and efficiently, whether they’re vlogging, live streaming, or producing creative content.

A true touchscreen experience that replaces phone controls
Most standalone phone monitors simply mirror the camera view. The XView M4 Touch is different – its built-in touchscreen lets you interact with your phone camera directly from the monitor. You can:
- Adjust focus, exposure, and zoom by tapping or sliding on the monitor screen, without ever touching your phone screen.
- Start, stop, and switch between photo and video modes from the monitor itself, thanks to reverse phone control.
- Make real‑time changes that instantly affect what the phone records, so you don’t have to fumble with the small buttons or menus on your device.
This level of control makes phone monitors much more than a display – they become an interactive extension of your phone’s camera, boosting both speed and precision during shoots.
Designed for everyday creators and pros alike
The XView M4 Touch is a versatile touch screen monitor for phone. Whether you use an iPhone or Samsung phone, the touch functionality and reverse controls work seamlessly once connected.
Key specifications include:
- 3.97‑inch LCD touchscreen with responsive touch input
- P2P direct wireless connection with ultra‑low latency (~40 ms), no WiFi needed
- Up to 50 m wireless range for flexible shooting
- Bluetooth remote shutter up to 10 m for easy capture triggers
- Up to 3 hours of runtime for extended vlogging or livestream sessions
- Magnetic mount compatible with various phones
- Adjustable display options (flip, mirror, brightness) for different shooting scenarios
These features combine to make a mobile touch screen monitor that not only shows your shot but actively controls it.
Why reverse phone control matters in real recording
Using your phone as a camera without touch control often means:
- Constantly tapping the phone’s small screen
- Losing your place in the frame as you try to adjust settings
- Risking shaky footage as you fumble with menus
With the XView M4 Touch, everything you usually do on the phone can be done on the monitor – focus, exposure, zoom, playback, and camera mode switching — without ever touching your phone. This is especially helpful when using your external touch screen monitor for iphone or Android device during solo shoots.
What it feels like in real use
In practice, this touchscreen monitor turns your rear camera into a professional‑like tool. Instead of guessing whether your subject is sharp or well‑lit, you see it instantly. Outdoor shooting becomes less frustrating since the monitor is often easier to see than the phone’s own display in bright light. The responsive touchscreen lets you adjust camera settings just like you would on a full‑featured camera monitor.
This is also valuable when recording multi‑person scenes, interviews, or travel content: you can set up the shot, back away, and make real‑time adjustments without touching your phone.
Compatibility and connection
The XView M4 Touch supports both iPhone and Samsung phones with reverse control functions. It connects with an instant WiFi‑free P2P connection, so there’s no network setup or pairing apps required – you simply power on, connect, and start shooting.
While other phones are being tested for compatibility via future updates, the current supported devices already cover many popular mobile content setups.
Who benefits most from this touchscreen monitor
This android touch screen monitor and iPhone‑compatible monitor is particularly valuable for a wide range of creators who rely on mobile cameras:
- Solo vloggers: Without an assistant or crew, framing yourself perfectly can be difficult. With the XView M4 Touch, you can see exactly where you are in the frame, check focus and lighting in real time, and make adjustments instantly. This reduces retakes, saves time, and helps produce more professional-looking vlogs.
- Travel and lifestyle creators: When shooting on the go, carrying bulky camera setups isn’t practical. The lightweight monitor attaches easily to your phone and provides a clear view in bright sunlight or dynamic environments. Whether you’re walking through a busy city or filming landscapes outdoors, the monitor ensures you capture each shot as intended.
- Live streamers: Streaming while interacting with an audience can be challenging, especially when you need to monitor framing, exposure, and background composition simultaneously. The touchscreen monitor allows you to control your camera remotely while keeping your attention on the audience, giving a smoother, more engaging live broadcast.
- Tutorial and product demo creators: When showing products, crafts, or educational content, precise framing and focus are essential. The XView M4 Touch enables you to adjust zoom and exposure on the fly, ensuring viewers see details clearly. This reduces errors and enhances the professional quality of the content.
- Group shots and multi-person recording: Even when shooting with multiple people, the monitor lets you see everyone in the frame without constantly moving or guessing angles. You can quickly recompose the shot and confirm focus, making collaboration easier without a second shooter.
