Damn why does this channel only have 452 subs? You deserve millions of subs for the amazing quality of videos you produce. The information, the setting, the quality are all top notch. Keep going! You are doing amazing!
I very rarely comment on videos but had to tell you what a great job I think you’re doing. The attention to detail is obvious from the choice of music to the colour grading! Really great job.
You make me laugh. Your look is exquisite by the way. And I agree with others, the vibe makes for a relaxing viewing experience. Getting to the end wasn’t a chore, in fact, I wanted more. Good work!
Right now the A7S III with Atomos Ninja V used are WAY cheaper than the FX3. Good luck finding a cheap FX3 or FX30. B&H Photo is your best bet. We need more cameras like the Sigma FP that can record directly to USB drives. The big brands like Sony are trying to protect their cinema camera lines.when they should be pivoting their business to what customers need, not protecting a dying line of overpriced cinema cameras. Sometimes you have to stop trying to maximize profits to be competitive.
I'm sure this review was filmed with ones tongue firmly inserted in ones cheek, but I would love to be served all my RUclips reviews and tutorials in this much more sophisticated style. I am genuinely sick to death of millennial 'youtubers' trying to look cool. Big thumbs up. Actually bought an Atomos Ninja V just now off the back of it.
Thank you so much! I appreciate the feedback a lot. Excited to make more that really show what these tools we use are capable of in what I hope continues to be an entertaining and classy way. Thanks again and enjoy that Ninja!
I just got one for myself today. I connected it with Sony FX3 but it show "No Input". I've been using FX3 with a Monitor Switcher and it has been working well. No problem with the HDMI port on FX3. I also changed a different HDMI cable that work with anything else. However, the Ninja V still show "No Input". Any suggestions please?
Same issue here with my a7siii. Ninja will display for a while but will often reset to no input screen and than go back to working fine. I’m still trouble shooting but from my research I believe the best fix is to invest in the atomos hdmi. Again not sure but I purchased a bundle that came with a “zila 8k hdmi” cable and I suspect that to be the culprit. Also when switching to the red menu/record button the fan kicks in and screams hard for all of a few seconds. Although presumably normal I hear the units are very silent and I’m left raising my eyebrow- any ex w/ that?
Hey all! Yes, if you’re not using the Atomos 60fps HDMI or the Kondor Blue version, you may have issues to the Ninja. I’ve used generic HDMI before, though, and had no problems. I also got a connector clamp to use on both camera/cage and monitor as they slip out very easily. Also, being only familiar with the alpha cameras, on the new a7sIII I do keep it to “HDMI only” setting when recording to the Ninja, disabling its ability to record internally.
@@MattJackson_RUclips Just to final confirm. Is it this one you're talking about "Atomos AtomFLEX HDMI (Type-A) Male to HDMI (Type-A) Male Coiled Cable (12 to 24″) 30CM - 60CM"
@@MattJackson_RUclips It’s funny to me that we have to spend another $49 on an HDMI cable so that we can connect our product. But seem I have no choice so have to buy it anyway Lol Thank you very much for the reply! Love your style of video editing!
I loved the way the video is planned and shot. Also, I saw the video with my laptop's reading/ night mode on. And it looked awesome with the reduced blue. Just like a wes anderson movie. I suggest you to see the video with your display's night/reading mode on and enjoy the visual treat.
Dude thank you for this video. It's well made and information is laid out clearly. How do you not have a million subs?!?! I run the Sony A7S3 right now. Getting two of the new CF type a cards is like 800 bucks it's literally a better value to just get this in a two terabyte hard drive
Well, as it turns out the "next camera" does, and I just used the a7siii for the first time. The image is stunningly good. It matches well with the a7iii in two-camera setups, but I'm definitely going to get a second one for two-camera interviews.
Thanks for the vid. A lot of work! Appreciate your dry sense of humour. Also, your voice is a very good voice-over voice. Have you done any for other people, if you don’t mind? If not, you should. You could do it commercially.
Thanks Ross! I’ve done quite a bit of commercial VO work over the years. It’s not my focus, but sometimes a job pops into my sphere here and there. Thanks for the kind words!!!
@@MattJackson_RUclips When your video started, I thought, ok, this is a professional VO artist, hope he sounds like he’s interested in cameras a little bit, otherwise could be a bit sterile.😬😂 No offence, but some VO’s can be clinical. I’m glad the voice is a content creator too! I should have known you would have been self aware enough to have had VO experience, or at least, peers/friends encourage you to do it. It must come in handy for your videos. And your voice and video weren’t boring! 😅
@@rosspfeffer5185 thanks so much! Yes, in a former life I was an actor before parlaying all that experience into starting my ad agency. It’s what’s kept me busy for most of the year, hence the vast vacuum of no YT videos of late. But I shall return with a few soon! Thanks for being a part of this!
Greetings! Please tell us the following situation: the latest firmware 10.63 All codecs and SDI are activated too (it is paid). I do not remember which firmware when I click on the record, it starts to write literally for 2-3 seconds and stops - I have to press it again so that the recording goes on for a long time. What is it - in the firmware, or maybe I knocked it down in the settings or something else !?
Very useful video thankyou , as a sony A1 shooter I am looking at purchasing this bit of kit . I currently use a RODE external mic in the hotshoe of the camera when recording . If I buy the Ninga five would the rode mic go into the Ninja or still in the camera for best results ? secondly can you recommend any cold shoe adaptors to connect both the Ninja and the External Mic ?
Other than being limited to internal recording, you can record to it at 60fps but the bitrate makes the footage rough to work with - my workaround when I need something slightly slo-mo is to shoot at 30fps. My needs don't require 120 fps that often.
Wow I was really about to buy this until the 120fps part came along. I'm currently using the shinobi and I wanted to buy this for the sony a7s iii for raw and pro res for 120fps. Bummer. Will just have to manually convert on my computer instead unless s&q is a work around.
Awesome video last week I was using my Ninja V with my Sony A7IV after looking at the video the footage burned what the Sony A7IV setting showed , how can I avoid this from happening again?
@@MattJackson_RUclips Not only with with ProRes, i mean recording 4K RAW(24-25-30-50-60 fps) with Ninja V and + Sony A7iv. do you recommend to record RAW with Ninja V + Sony A7iv? will be that much better quality than Sony A7iv SD card file?
@@Emperor-2029 RAW isn't neccesary in my opinion unless deliverables to client require it, a heavy color grade is a part of the piece, or if you're creating a feature-length film for cinemas. Otherwise, 4:2:2 is perfectly adequate.
Great video. Would you be able to explain a little bit about the fan noise and how it is impacting the audio recorded via HDMI in? And how it can be fixed?
Thanks! The fan comes on during recording, but the most recent firmware update has reduced the amount of noise and it’s not at all noticeable, even with my VideoMic Pro mounted on the camera.
Future-proofing would be a massive benefit, but if you like to shoot in 4K 120p and much of your work in that format, then the V+ is a great choice. But the original Ninja is at $499 right now for black friday on the Atomos site!
I’m just curious can you run a 25-30ft hdmi cable? From the camera to the ninja? I do car footage and have a car rig, usually the camera is mounted around 15 feet away but I end up using 20-30feet of cable in order to reach my regular monitor to the cab without too much stress, but I’m curious to know if this would work using it on the ninja.. the recording feature to the monitor is what is really interesting to me. And could be very very Beneficial
Great video aka story telling, just like you I bought this to record beyond the 30 minutes limited, any insight/tutorials on how to set up the A7iii and NinjaV to have this result and more, thanks in advance .
Thank you very much for this video. I wonder if you could talk about the new sony a7siii and ninja v. nobody talks about this and in my opinion it is a good combination. But few people talk about shooting raw with sony. I am waiting for the new camera and I want to use raw. by the way excellent music
Cutting to you sitting there looking back at me made me feel uncomfortable lol! Like a shrink trying to conduct mind surgery just using voice inflections. So direct and intense. Hold something to present or something! Great lighting and taste in style, overall really enjoyed the video. Side note: I was disappointed you never drank the water…
@@MattJackson_RUclips well you sold me on the ninja v, if it lets me down I’ll be blaming myself and need some counseling.. consoling… I’ll need words.
Nice work! Great colors in the video. Does the difference between a 2, 3, or 4 frame delay for audio make a big difference with the sony alpha cameras? We’re expecting our atomos coming in soon.
@@MattJackson_RUclips No problem, thanks for getting back Matt. With the new update, are you using the auto-calibration feature on the Atomos Ninja to calculate the frame delay? When I tried the feature, it recommended a 9 frame delay which seems quite a jump from the 2-3 frame delay recommended by different shooters.
Very helpful video. I am planning to get the Ninja V, as far as SSD storage options, do you think the mini AngelBird is worth the premium price (vs a standard size SSD in the Caddy) ?
I honestly don’t. The AngelBird looks super cool, but in my experience you can get more storage for less money with a traditional SSD. Plus, I’ve never had a single issue with the Samsung EVOs that I use.
@@MattJackson_RUclips thanks for your answer...do you happen to know if you can use the 'spot focus ' i.e. shifting the camera to manual mode by touching the screen to any point on the screen where you want to focus while recording...I know it's a weird question but if you can help that would be great...thanks
@@trinivideography2472 If the camera goes to M (manual on the dial), then the Ninja will switch into recording the screen from your camera. This may be a setting that can be changed, but that's been my experience. In movie mode, you're able to use and switch between the different focus modes while you're recording to the Ninja V, including spot focus.
Thank you! I’m actually working on an S-LOG LUT similar to this, but in the meantime check out Mauro’s Films on RUclips. His Arri LUT was the base for this video’s color grade.
Great video, a lot of style!! I just purchased the Ninja V and I'm using it with my Sony A7Siii. I'm unable to play back any footage I've shot with the Sony on the Ninja V unless I disconnect the HDMI cable... then I can play back footage only on the camera. Have you encountered this too? I'm wondering if I've missed a setting somehow.
@@MattJackson_RUclips The LCD screen on the Sony goes black the middle I press the play button, and the Ninja V returns to its splash screen. There has to be a setting of some kind I've overlooked...
Absolutely possible. Just hit record on your camera as well as the Ninja V and they will both record. You can even record to another Ninja V with the HDMI out, giving you THREE simultaneous recordings...if you really wanted to.
Thanks for the info. Just received my Ninja and this was helpful. I'm still struggling with auto/mic, not sure if I the mic goes in the camera or in the Ninja. Advice welcomed, please?
I place mine in the input on the Ninja. You may need to tweak the delay response a bit to make sure it lines up with the speaker, but once you do, the sound is great.
It does not. The Ninja V with the A7iii is truly only useable in 24fps/30fps 4K. You can run 1080p 60fps, but I never do due to the lack of quality in the image.
Hi Matt, thank you for the video. You made me understand more about the Ninja V. Do you think it will be a good investment for me to purchase the Ninja V now to be used with my old A7iii to start my videography? I do appreciate any thoughts. Best wishes 🙏
You certainly can. I haven’t, only because I shoot 2-4 times a week, so I always transfer my footage to an internal drive then edit off an M.2. If you’re shooting ProRes you should have no problem editing directly off it.
By far one of the best information videos I have ever seen. Extremely professional and a real pleasure to watch.

But few people talk about shooting raw with sony. I am waiting for the new camera and I want to use raw. by the way excellent music
Once I get my hands on the A7siii, I most definitely will! It’s a killer combo!
Why the water ??
Please explain how ninja v work with Sony a9? (S-log, prores) ?
Cutting to you sitting there looking back at me made me feel uncomfortable lol! Like a shrink trying to conduct mind surgery just using voice inflections. So direct and intense. Hold something to present or something!
Great lighting and taste in style, overall really enjoyed the video. Side note: I was disappointed you never drank the water…
If you need to talk about anything, let me know. I’m here for you.
@@MattJackson_RUclips well you sold me on the ninja v, if it lets me down I’ll be blaming myself and need some counseling.. consoling… I’ll need words.
@@fathomarms2361 if I have anything for you…I have words.
Nice work! Great colors in the video. Does the difference between a 2, 3, or 4 frame delay for audio make a big difference with the sony alpha cameras? We’re expecting our atomos coming in soon.
Apologies for the delayed response - yes, the delay is extremely helpful. It’ll take some trial and error but it’s a great feature.
@@MattJackson_RUclips No problem, thanks for getting back Matt. With the new update, are you using the auto-calibration feature on the Atomos Ninja to calculate the frame delay? When I tried the feature, it recommended a 9 frame delay which seems quite a jump from the 2-3 frame delay recommended by different shooters.
@@J_bui that’s interesting - I’ve never heard of it wanting a delay that long. Is the delay you set working well?
Very helpful video. I am planning to get the Ninja V, as far as SSD storage options, do you think the mini AngelBird is worth the premium price (vs a standard size SSD in the Caddy) ?
I honestly don’t. The AngelBird looks super cool, but in my experience you can get more storage for less money with a traditional SSD. Plus, I’ve never had a single issue with the Samsung EVOs that I use.
Hey great video...can you tell me if you can touch the a7iii screen to acquire focus using flexible spot mode while recording?
During recording with the Ninja V, yes you can.
@@MattJackson_RUclips thanks for your answer...do you happen to know if you can use the 'spot focus ' i.e. shifting the camera to manual mode by touching the screen to any point on the screen where you want to focus while recording...I know it's a weird question but if you can help that would be great...thanks
@@trinivideography2472 If the camera goes to M (manual on the dial), then the Ninja will switch into recording the screen from your camera. This may be a setting that can be changed, but that's been my experience. In movie mode, you're able to use and switch between the different focus modes while you're recording to the Ninja V, including spot focus.
@@MattJackson_RUclips thanks so much for your help... I really appreciate it.👍
Great review, I'll be getting one for my GH5 soon
Thank you! It’s a great piece of gear. Enjoy!
Thanks! What batteries do you use? I didn’t see a link. Thanks!
I use the NP-F 970 battery. I have 4 with two recorders and have never run out of juice on shoots.
Nine Stories Creative nice! What brand do you like?
I tend to get the Neweer ones, but I also have a couple Anton Bauer for good measure.
Great video! Could you tell me where you shopped for the parts on your cinema rig for your Sony?
Thank you! I got everything on Amazon and BH/Adorama.
loved this video
Can we record on Atmos with out inserting sd card in camera ?
Yes! You can record just to the Atomos without any media in the camera or you can record simultaneously to the recorder and camera.
So classy. So official. Why yes, sire!
Keep Up the great work with this channel! I really admire your style. Any chance I can purchase the color grade used for this video?
Thank you! I’m actually working on an S-LOG LUT similar to this, but in the meantime check out Mauro’s Films on RUclips. His Arri LUT was the base for this video’s color grade.
Great video, a lot of style!! I just purchased the Ninja V and I'm using it with my Sony A7Siii. I'm unable to play back any footage I've shot with the Sony on the Ninja V unless I disconnect the HDMI cable... then I can play back footage only on the camera. Have you encountered this too? I'm wondering if I've missed a setting somehow.
Thanks so much! I’ve not encountered that problem. When you press the playback button on the ninja, does it just do nothing at all?
@@MattJackson_RUclips The LCD screen on the Sony goes black the middle I press the play button, and the Ninja V returns to its splash screen. There has to be a setting of some kind I've overlooked...
Very interesting. Yeah, there must be something going on in the settings I’m unaware of. Give us an update when you figure it out!
How I can simultaneous recording (internally and externally) with Sony A7iii with Atomos Ninja V in the same time ?
Is it possible ?!
Absolutely possible. Just hit record on your camera as well as the Ninja V and they will both record. You can even record to another Ninja V with the HDMI out, giving you THREE simultaneous recordings...if you really wanted to.
@@MattJackson_RUclips Thank you so much 🌹
You got it!
@@MattJackson_RUclips Hi! I don't know why simultaneous recording hasn't worked for a while. I have to push rec on both devices.
@@giampaolomarconato3958 hm, I'd have to dig in and find out why that's happening in the settings...
Thanks for the info. Just received my Ninja and this was helpful. I'm still struggling with auto/mic, not sure if I the mic goes in the camera or in the Ninja. Advice welcomed, please?
I place mine in the input on the Ninja. You may need to tweak the delay response a bit to make sure it lines up with the speaker, but once you do, the sound is great.
I have a question, does the Atomos Ninja V allow the Sony a7iii to record in 4k 60fps?
It does not. The Ninja V with the A7iii is truly only useable in 24fps/30fps 4K. You can run 1080p 60fps, but I never do due to the lack of quality in the image.
Ditch the dark timber table so we can see the product better, ditch the time and space spent with the drink too.
I’ll get right on it. Thanks.
Wes Anderson approves this video haha - Thanks for the this!
Hi Matt, thank you for the video. You made me understand more about the Ninja V. Do you think it will be a good investment for me to purchase the Ninja V now to be used with my old A7iii to start my videography? I do appreciate any thoughts. Best wishes 🙏
Hi
Any idea why is starts frim 640 ISO?
Checking camera settings can t find what is causes
What camera are you using? The A7siii has a base ISO of 640 in S-LOG.
@@MattJackson_RUclips using Sony A7 s iii.
It starts internally 160 ISO S-Log3.as soon as i turn on my ninja 5 it changes automatically to 640 ISO
thanks so much for the video
Can you use the same SSD you record with to edit off of?
You certainly can. I haven’t, only because I shoot 2-4 times a week, so I always transfer my footage to an internal drive then edit off an M.2. If you’re shooting ProRes you should have no problem editing directly off it.
Nine Stories Creative that’s incredible, I shoulda bought one of these sooner. Thanks for the video and replying!
It’s probably the single most effective tool I’ve added to my kit - couldn’t recommend highly enough! And thank you for watching!!!
What teleprompter are you using? P.S. I'll get one for myself too
The Parrot Teleprompter! It's awesome. Here's the link! www.amazon.com/dp/B07SJZP1B4?tag=ninestoriescr-20
