Atomos Ninja V vs Shinobi Comparison | Which Camera Monitor to get in 2022?

닌자와 시노비 두개 중 고민했는데... 시노비로 간다!! 땡큐 !!

Great video and love your energy. Subscribed!

Thanks for this really useful video. I’ve just ordered a Nikon Z8 which can record 10bit ProRes Raw internally so I’m thinking the Shinobi might be the one to go for to save weight and gain extra battery life. Would be interested to hear what you think.

Is the shinobi compatable with nikon d4?i know the ninja v is,before i purchase?

Thanks for this video.
Can you post a picture of your set up with Sandisk SSD please?

Bro, the comparison is appIes to oranges. I don't know why someone buys ninja 5 just for monitoring. There are much cheaper alternatives for monitoring. Ninja= recording.

Hello, excellent review! How long did the bigger battery last in the Ninja? Thanks in advance.

I have an A7s 3 with the Ninja V, and I have tried everything, I use exactly this configuration of yours, and yet the file of the camera cards in S-log 3 come out with more dynamic range, more washed, less contrasted and saturated than the files recorded on the SSD inside the Ninja, could someone help me???!

Informative video. TY.

If I'm filming 10-bit, 4k, 50fps on my Sony FX30, will I be able to view what I'm recording on the Shinobi monitor?

Thanks for the video! Deciding between the two still as I'm shooting with A7SIII. Right now, I'm using a budget monitor, AndycineA6 plus, which is like under $200. Just not bright enough, has lut support, wave forms, 4k display. External recording isn't something I need right now but may want to do later. I feel like I'm leaning towards the Ninja V based on the comments but will be doing some more research

Did you notice that with the Shinobi - while recording VLOG with a LUT displayed on the monitor that the false colour or waveform information uses the LOG image. However, using the Ninja V the false colour or waveform information uses the LOG image + LUT. Atomos are aware of this.

Thank you, great job!

Very good comunication!!!

Hi @Sam Holland thanks for the review. As a newbie I’m deciding between the Ninja V and the Portkeys LH5p ii do you know much about that monitor and if so which would you go for?

Do these monitors have touch focus?

This is so useful! Thank you

Could you explain how to turn the red box on that indicates when you're recording? I've googled, asked ChatGPT, and browsed the manual with no luck.

What’s better for gaming vids

Thanks! Finally made my decision!

These look amazing I've seen a lot of these at adorama

Northern one Atomos is garbage try this one you will not regret

Desview R6 Camera Field Monitor, 5.5 inch 2800nits Ultra High Brightness Full HD 1920x1080 IPS with HDR 3D LUT Waveform VectorScope Peaking Focus 4K HDMI 8V DC Input Output for DSLR Camera
Plus many others much much better don’t be fooled by the name of ATOMOS

if i were to record 6k 30p or 4k 60p on the new lumix s5iiX, will this display on the shinobi...not record, just display the image on the shinobi for me to view while filming?

I shoot 4k 120p 10bit slog3 on sony 7siii. Will i be able to view this on shinobi?

I was about to pull the trigger on the Ninja until watching this. I make ASMR camping video's and just run a Rode Pro + on the camera, that'll pick up the fan yea? Battery life and weight is a serious consideration... Thinking I'll start looking at Shinobi or anything you can recommend one year later. Awesome vid mate!

@SamHolland I have a Sony A7Iv. I use it for streaming webcam or for recording in streamOBS. now I also want to record things outside in open world. in 4:2:2. what should I get? Sony A7Iv have issue with over heating if the card is slower. some one suggested me to get Atomos Ninja V. what should I do?

can the EOS R not output 10 bit to the Shinobi?

I subscribed just so I could unsubscribe because you said wonger.

Just ordered the Shinobi and got the accessory kit and cable... I cant edit the large files until I can upgrade my editing suite but by then I can afford a Ninja V, and I can always sell the Shinobi

Hi, thanks for the comparison, it’s interesting.
I need to check if the price of Ninja V + AngelBird 512GB SSD is higher as Shinobi + 512GB AngelBird CF express Type B for in camera recording.

Subbed, this is what I want to know. Thanks

Love it ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hi Sam. Really enjoyed this review. I am in the market for an external monitor/recorder. I have the Canon EOSR6 and it has the over heating issue. Do you think if I use the Ninja, I can avoid the over heating issue since the signal is being sent to the recorder? I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks man!

V ninja vs T owl? They're the same model

is there a difference in fan noise? i don't understand how ppl are using the ninja V and a mic next to it

Recording externally to the ninja V, will this work around the crop factor whilst recording in 4k at 60fps? (S5 user)

useful 8mins.

What's the message about winning a camera ???

Interesting battery life on the shinobi. My SmallHD Focus gets at least two hours on the smallest NPF battery.

Would you also suggest to use this to complement a Canon R5C? If so; rather the Ninja V(+) or Shinobi?

Although they are similar for some reason the Ninja has social guides where Shinobi does not.
Not sure why Atomos haven’t introduced these as they are super useful in todays world of filming.

Hey thanks for the information. Question. Does it matter what year ninja v someone has? I seen one for sale and it had a 1920x1200 resolution… but others have 1920x1080. And new to this and I want to purchase one but not sure about certain specs. Will a firmware update change the resolution from old to new? Or should I just buy a newer model?

Nice review, thanks! Question, just got a Sony A7siii and want a monitor to view while 4k 60 internally....From the specs, I don't think the Shinobi will display 4K 60 and looks like I need to get the Ninja V or the Ninja V Plus....thoughts?

Thanks for this review! Does the ninja v have a recording time limit?
(Like canon’s 30 minute limit on its DSLRs)

why would you not just use your ipad and the app, oh sorry i use a GH-5 then you can monitor it the same (just no external recordidng)

hi sam, Which color looks close to the camera？

Hi Sam, excellent review!. Almost year later and now you have in the market a new range of these monitors allowing live streaming, from the Zato to the Connect accesories for the Ninja's. Would be great to see a comparison/review of these new options!. Cheers and keep the good work!.

Thanks! this is the video I needed

Great video bro

So when I upload the footage into my computer do I send the video files from the SSD to the computer and then again send the files from the memory card and somehow combine them into one? Having 2 different forms of storage is very confusing as I'm brand new to the videographry world
