The screen itself has 1000 nits peak brightness for daylight viewing, with 10+ stops of dynamic range allowing you to view your footage while outside in bright light. No need to cover the screen to prevent glare when you’re filming outside.

If you shoot a mirrorless camera that has a clean HDMI output, there is often a huge improvement in the quality of the footage if you output to an external drive. Most cameras record 4:2:0 in 8-bit internally, but via HDMI can output 4:2:2 in 8 or 10-bit. That gives a lot more color information and is a huge benefit if you are shooting Log footage to maximize dynamic range. Supports very large SSDs! I routinely attach 8TB Samsung QVO 870 SSDs to the monitor, and it works perfectly.

Atomos is excited to reveal the new Ninja V+ and Ninja V+ Pro Kit, building on the foundation of the Ninja V, coming to you in May 2021. The Ninja V+ delivers high quality accurate monitoring and extended recording capabilities for your camera of choice. Delivering support for continuous recording of 8Kp30 and 4Kp120 in Apple ProRes RAW adding to the great workflow of Ninja V, that bring together the great partnerships with camera manufactures and the world’s leading editing systems for our customers.

There is an optional SSDmini adaptor that allows CFAST II cards to be used, enabling you to recycle older media cards or align with your camera media. Alongside SSDmini we also qualify a range of 2.5-inch SSDs that can be used in conjunction with the MasterCaddy III which are required when using the ATOMOS CONNECT.Three years after launching the original Ninja V, Atomos has announced its successor is on the way in the form of the Ninja V+. The new device features roughly the same form factor as the original Ninja V, but uses a new ’stealth grey bezel’ and an updated chipset to record the highest quality video possible. Takes standard NP-F batteries (one of the most common alongside V-mount and Mini-V batteries on the market) There are a few reasons that the Atomos Ninja V has become such a must-have accessory amongst the film making community. Features are obvious, but it’s the build and handling that makes this both easy to use and useful in the film making process. Capture Apple ProRes RAW video with the Ninja V, and experience complete control over the video image. Benefiting from the ability to capture RAW video allows you to edit and colour grade footage without compromising the quality of the footage you have captured.

If you try to grade 4:2:0 8-bit shot in Log on a mirrorless camera then it can be tough as the color information just isn’t there. The extra data recorded by the Atomos Ninja V make a big difference, and make shooting Log on mirrorless cameras a sensible option. Melbourne, Australia – 28 th April 2021 – Atomos is thrilled to announce that it is expanding the Ninja family, with two exciting new Ninja products and a major update for Ninja V! Those features include the monitor; it’s bigger and brighter with a toolset that will help you ensure exposure and focus are right. The Atomos Ninja V is an essential add-on for owners of the latest generation of mirrorless cameras who want to get the best video their camera can manage. It opens up higher-quality formats, with more color data, and offers tools like waveforms that many stills-first cameras omit. Regardless of how you plan to use the Ninja, you'll want to think about some add-ons. A battery is one. Atomos doesn't include one; instead you just get a power supply so you can plug the Ninja into a wall outlet. That's fine for use in a studio, but you'll need a battery to work with it in the field.

Some things to note however. In comparison to the monitor-only Shinobi, this thing is pretty heavy. And since it’s doing more work than the Shinobi, having extra and/or larger batteries in comparison will be key. But keep in mind that by the time you have all that, you’ll have a pretty heavy piece of kit on your camera. I tried this for a session with my RS3 gimbal and I got a pretty solid workout chasing after talent. The unit also heated up quite a bit in my environment so the fan noise was noticeable. However since we were booming audio this wasn’t an issue.

ProRes RAW is available, though camera support is limited. Nikon has announced plans for a paid upgrade for owners of the Z 6 and Z 7, and it will also be an option with the video-first Panasonic S1H. Included in the codec arsenal is the ability to record video inputs using the10-bit H.265 (HEVC) codec for high quality compressed recordings with small file sizes, which is perfect for the world we now live in, where streaming and sharing online has dramatically increased.

Of course, you may already own all some of this kit, but if you don’t then your total investment could effectively be doubling the price of the Ninja V itself, if you go for high-quality and large-size SSD drives. A point worth highlighting is that if you’re coming to the Ninja V thinking that it will give your camera a huge video quality boost it won’t. If you record from an 8-bit camera, then the footage you’re shooting will be 8-bit, if your camera is limited to 4K 30fps, that will still be the maximum you can record at. The screen itself is rated at 1000 nits so is still very bright. At 1920x 1080 pixels, the screen shows finely detailed images and is far better than any standard camera screen. You may wish to buy an external sunshade for the brightest days, though. When you record to the Ninja V, there are lots of different high-quality codecs such as Apple ProRes and Avid DNxHD you can choose from. This is ideal for the cameras like the Canon EOS R, Panasonic S1 and Fujifilm X-T4 which can output a 4:2:2 10-bit signal over HDMI. This is perfect for shooting Log and you can really see the difference between 8-bit and 10-bit footage. Some cameras, like the Sony A7R IV output at 4:2:2 in 8-bit, which is still an improvement over the internal 4:2:0 8-bit footage and a boost for Log shooters. The ability to mount the Atomos Ninja V is a major feature and gives you plenty of flexibility in various shooting locations. I would recommend using a cage around your camera as this further extends the mount options, but also enables you to fix down the cables which are essential if you’re moving about.
