Atomos Shinobi 5-inch HDMI 4K Monitor

Even though it has a bright monitor, it has a very very low resolution and is a very tiny monitor. compared the Shinobi monitor to the Small HD monitors, and the Shinobi monitor appears to have more features. As a result of sometimes failing to communicate properly with my camera, I have given it 4 stars I could be having a problem with my settings, but on the whole this monitor has been great! There was something rough about the packaging, and I began to worry about how the Shinobi would be. Atomos monitor shipped from Adorama, but that is not Atomos's fault. This monitor has provided a superb viewing experience so far. Although I had trouble running it on my Ronin S, I do not have the proper mounting hardware yet so I can wait until I get it. In addition to the brightness (not much), the screen looks so much better thanks to the panel Atomos uses and it's wider size. I loaded up my LUTs on the screen to correct for Slog2, HLG, and Cine2 and shooting is so much easier with this monitor. In comparison to all the cameras I have used, the focus peaking provides more detailed information As for the vector scopes, they are exactly what I am used to seeing Now, my exposure values do not have to be calculated from the Sony values displayed on the screen. It worked right away after I placed it in one of the cages for my Sony. I opened the box and attached the monitor. Don't forget to grab some NPF Batteries, an HDMI to MicroHDMI cable, and a cold shoe or 1/4 thread mounting bracket/clamp to provide the best experience!.

I do a lot of still photography and this unit may be the best thing ever for video guys, but it is advertised as a STILL and video monitor and I generally do The art of night Thus, my perspective was shaped by two nights out hooked up to a Nikon Z 6 using a SmallRig L-Type I am not thrilled with the bracket and add-ons it comes with

Let me list the pluses first As far as I know, this is the only setup that allows zoom-in This allows me to nail star focus the first time with confidence on the magnified Z6 camera monitor, which gives me sufficient magnification and wide monitor IQ. I find this to be very positive! Now, let's move on to the many downsides 1.

The mounting is a challenge with my setup, and I'm still working to get it secure. Make sure you have the right kind of HDMI cable, maybe a flexible, maybe a coaxial cable. If you do not order a cable, you will regret it. 2 . *vbr>
3. It seems the menu system was devised by the devil, as it's extremely difficult and confusing Easy to use and intuitive. you're a video guy with a lot of experience, it will seem okay to you. In any case, I used to design user interface modules, and this one is pretty bad. It's still confusing to me that x2 and x4 are not accessible from the menu system, even sitting there with the doc attached As it turns out, I just stumbled upon This is 2A. Would you guys mind if I suggested a "my menu" function that remembers settings and allows you to re-set it if you decide to? Use them, or similar, or whatever you want. 4. Finally, 3. I have a lot of problems adjusting the brightness versus contrast as a result. In terms of menu brightness, find out which is better. The data displays, etc. , are too bright at night and they cannot be dimmed. I meant to have it bright for daytime use, but it seems way too bright during the night. I've noticed that whenever I change the display mode on my camera, the monitor loses signal for a couple of seconds and then gains it again. Display switching occurs a lot in this case, so it can be very For video, this is not likely to be an issue. 3. * 5. There are some good explanations of functions and features within the manual, but there are no instructions as to how to use the software. There are a few things you need to know before moving on. Thus, I do not wish to make a career out of figuring out how to use a device like this. As soon as possible, I plan on updating this review with a more positive ending.

It is very bright when it is daylight in my home in sunny Southern California, so I greatly appreciate this monitor. There's no hood on it so I don't use it, but that is just because I don't need it. I'm using Atomos for the first time, and I have thus far had a positive experience. It is used with the BMPCC 4k and I feel that a monitor of this kind is necessary because of the inarticulate screen of that camera. The only consideration with this monitor is its tendency to get very hot if left on for more than 5 minutes at a time. If you are shooting in direct sunlight without shade, it is advisable to turn it off between takes so it doesn't get too hot. The durability of the unit with overheating is a concern of mine, but so far it has not been problematic.

I love the product but I'm a bit disappointed that it doesn't come with batteries or I find I am not using it nearly as often as I expected. I am not sure if I am missing something, but what I see on the screen fails to translate as well to what I get as a product. In the case of using photo and video at the same time, it is just not very useful.

-This is an awesome monitor With its accurate color and unparalleled brightness, it stands out from our competitors. It was a no-brainer to get the Shinobi considering that it had no recording capabilities, especially when I considered its price compared to other "pro" models Monitors marketed to consumers (see you, SmallHD). As a result of the Shinobi, my rig now has an extra element of power. There are a couple of things that bother me right off the bat after a couple of sessions with it Please note I found the menus to be more intuitive than those on most monitors I've used, but still a bit Wouldn't it be great if we could get a UX consultant onboard for one of these projects? When I first began using Atomos, it was not intuitive how to scroll and the information hierarchy was more than a little confusing. Please note There's no grid on this page for rules of thirds. Why is that? This seems like a no-brainer to place alongside the crop - A preview. Please note I received both units with a single stuck green pixel on the screen in different places with the first unit. I tried a factory reset, different cables, and different inputs but none of them worked. There may be an issue with quality control.

The Ninja Inferno has been my go-to monitor so far, but now that I have an SSD to capture my footage with, I need a monitor that will give me the features that I need to capture my footage the way I want. I found the monitor I was looking for in the Shinobi. Additionally, you may want to pick up the Shinobi accessory kit, which comes with a sun hood, two spare batteries, and a.
