@@SakkiDuran Well, I mean "with" dual SD cards. There are events that just can't repeat themselves like weddings and it only takes one wedding to fuck up and you're nearly out of business.
Thanks for this video! I'm glad I ran into it, I was so close to buying the ninja and then realized I can save money with the Shinobi. I really just need the monitor and this explanation is what I was looking for. Thanks again!
I have both of these as well and i actually use my Shinobi more than the Ninja V.... mainly because of the weight and battery life and i don't need the external recording since i no longer use the R, so with the C70 don't have a crazy benefit for me. Great video as always!
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!
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!.
I decided on the Ninja V due to the HDMI out for wireless video transmitter. I found myself doing a recent live stream and with two camera's, one closer to any computer and the other at a distance (less than 300 ft) and it would make it so much easier if I were able to view the monitor at a distance.
Glad you said wireless transmitter. I was almost sold on selling my ninja for this. But it would be nice to have a client screen while filming one day.
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
Just want to say, I lost my drone on the weekend in South Snowdonia. Did something like you did. I also thought of you straight away. Managed to download the weeks flying video's as it had plenty of power. But a load of Wonga down the drain!
Thanks for the review. It's such a tough decision to make because fundamentally I just want a monitor and the only feature I really want from the ninja v is the onion skin overlay. It's a shame the Shinobi doesn't do it because it doesn't store anything.
I like your video...but you forgot 2 bigs things with the Ninja V. First, when you record on the Ninja V, there is no more time limit of 30 minutes. Second, no more overheating on some cameras like the Canon R5 and R6. I have a Canon R6, so for me, i decided to go with the Ninja V. I already have the Ninja Flame, but it doesn't record in 4K 60fps... only 30fps. So that's why i'm switching to the Ninja V. It's not the first video i watched from you, and it's always goods videos. So i'm subscribing to your chanel. Thank you. 😉😊
First off great video!! Always wondered the difference. I think I'd go for the Shinobi for now. If I did video projects full time I would probably get the V. But cheaper and does the job is my motto for now lol
I’m sooo glad you did this review, Sam! I just ordered the Ninja V yesterday, but thanks to your review, I realise now the Shinobi is a better choice for me, so have changed my order. Thanks, mate. 👍🇦🇺🦘
I have Ninja V and it's "must have" for me since my NIkon Z6 doesn't record 10bit/422 internally. I have just one issue with Ninja's active cooling, though - while you're rigging it with an on-camera mic, the noise from the fan is quite obvious in the recordings while the mic and the Ninja are close to each other. Even if I use some kind of articulated arm to place the mic more far from the body it still catches some noise.
Hi Slav. I know what you mean about the fan being loud. Might be worth playing with the audio levels a little bit as I don’t have any issues with the noise interfering. I have some videos on audio if you need. (Not saying you do) 🤩🙏🏻 Thanks for watching 🎥
@@SamHolland I don't need, thanks ^_- I'm a post production sound guy for about 12 years so maybe I'm a bit more sensitive to audio noise than most of filmmakers. And it also really depends on type of mic (cardioid gets more of this fan noise than super-cardioid of example) and levels of noise and signal and how they compare to each other. If the source is quite loud I can set gain (or volume on post) to appropriate level and won't have any problem with it whatsoever, but if it's not loud I have to make some boost on post (or gain) for example which cause some increasing of noise floor and fan noise too of course.. Yes, you can use some denoiser stuff but it's sometimes kinda destructive to voice and it's always a compromise too. Needless to say if I use lav mics or set my mic overhead far from Atomos I don't have any issues :)
@@redcat. I have the same set up.. I will advice you record audio externally and sync in post, that way you get the best audio and it's even a cheaper setup ( get the tascam or zoom small recorder ).. Most big prod setup use external audio recording anyways..
Hi Sam, thank you for the great review, I've just ordered the Ninja V so I can get more recording time out of my GoPro 10 as it gets very hot and shuts down with the media mod fitted. I have also ordered the Hahnel HL-XL982 battery as it also has a USB output so I can keep the GoPro charged up also. I should be able to take both timelapse in the GoPro and 10-bit on the monitor to make a time-lapse video easily and just choose the normal speed interesting footage from the monitor. I also have an HDMI microscope that I'm using with a telescope too, so an external high-quality recorder would be good there too. Thank you again, I've subscribed as like your content 👍
@@SamHolland Hi Sam, a little update, this is an amazing screen, where I now have a Sony ZV-E10, Crane M2 S and a long pole to get some great drone style shots, plus the GoPro 10 creates some good time lapse video on it too. I am using a standard 500GB SSD within the caddy supplied with the monitor, have a cage and hood for it too (SmallRig) and use the Lindy CROMO right angle adaptors to ensure the HDMI connectors remain out the way (highly recommended, plus they look smart). The GoPro 10 is obviously not as good as the Sony ZV-E10 as everything is squeezed in there with a small lens, but the 200fps looks really good, so both cameras have their plusses.
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.
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.
Got my Ninja v with xcast module (do a lot of live streaming) and used it on my gimbal rig as a monitor and recorder last Thursday, so cool as I'm a lot older than you it helped my old eyes 👀 Also editing straight off the ssd drive instead of faffing with importing data first streamlined my workflow a bit too. Great video mate
😂 monitors definitely help with seeing what you’re filming a bit better. Yeh so much smoother isn’t it! I’m pleased you found it useful! Thanks for watching 🤩🙏🏻🎥
Thanks for this video Sam, I was looking at these today! I have an EOS R, so I'm thinking it will be worth getting the Ninja V for the extra 10-bit recording 👍
I have the Ninja V and I absolutely love it, it did some reviews on it too. But thinking for a second monitor and Shinobi could be the perfect feet for it 🤔 Thanks for the review
Hey. Yeah totally! If you don’t NEED the recording capabilities for your camera 2, then the Shinobi will be perfect! 💪🏻 that’s what I’ve done. Used them both for a job yesterday and it’s so much better than 1 Thanks for watching 🤩🙏🏻💪🏻
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
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.
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?
@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?
i'm torn between the two. budget isn't really an issue and for that I'm leaning towards the Ninja V and more importantly because I use an 8 bit camera (A7III). however, I'm not too interested in the battery life, it being heavier, and needing to purchase an SSD for the Ninja V. which route would you take if you were in my shoes? any help is appreciated, thanks and love the videos!
So just to be clear the Ninja V is the only one that can record through the camera because I have two sony cameras that have the 030 minute limit to record.
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?
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.
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.
Wonga who says that ....... You do .... you have nearly saved me some but not sure if the Ninja would improve the footage from My soon to have Canon R3 aslo does it do anything for the R6 I know you can output 10bit on the R .... PS the R3 does 6K 12 bit internal .... cheers H
Ooooo mate! That might throw another spanner in the works… if you want the slow motion and extra Ks, might be worth looking at the Ninja V + (PLUS)! 🤩🤩🤩 maybe I shouldn’t have said that! 😂 I use the Ninja V with the R6 when I want to record prores. Just smoothens my workflow a little rather than creating proxies. But again, massive file sizes. So now I use the Shinobi with the R6 for client work and the Ninja V with the R for 10bit.
@@HiethGeorge Thanks so if I understand correctly there is no Raw output on the R3 to ninja v so maximum would be 60fps 10bit? Thanks for your response
So, do I understand that correct, at about 6:10, this means, if I need a recorder for e.g. creating manuals and showing what's going in the configuration menus, I need the Ninja V and can't do it with the Shinobi?
Great comparison, thanks a lot for this. I'm now deciding the Shinobi would make much more sense for me since a lot of times I don't have access to a plug during a shoot, so I use all the battery I can get. And since I'm doing a lot of moving around and gimbal lifting I could really use the lighter weight. Also I have an a7iv which records 10bit 4K internally so I don't really see the need for the Ninja V at all. Just a question: I read the Shinobi uses NP-F battery types. With my Sony I use NP-FZ100 batteries. Would those be compatible with the monitor, by any chance? It was super helpful to watch your video, thanks again!
Are the Shinobi colors acurate with your camera? I noticed on my Ninja V they are very warm vs. my camera. So I returned it instead of spending more to calibrate it.
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?
Great video Sam! But for me the Ninja V. That Pro Res RAW ability would be so useful, especially with the Sony A7siii. Certainly, if you don't need that external recording capability, the Shinobi is a no brainer!
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!
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?
@@SamHolland much cheaper than the ninja ssd thanks I would like one for my s5 for the 6k raw but have windows based computer new and upto date but will I be able to use any of it due to not owning a Mac for the software ? Would the black magic be a better option for me? Thanks
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
Hi. No you just use the one file. Whichever one you prefer to work with. Prores (from the ninja v) will take up more storage space but it will run faster on your computer making it easier to edit. 🙏🏻 hope this helps 🎥
There’s a few monitors I’d love to try so I’ll add it to the list 🤩👌🏻 I also love the features of the DJI 4D monitor! That MF metering is insane! Ah no I didn’t 😢 but I have a present coning from DJI soon 🤩🎉
Yeh there’s a massive difference but if you have the mic in the right position, it shouldn’t pick up the sound of the fan 👌🏻 I have plenty of audio and mic placement videos on my channel that should help if you need 🎥🙏🏻
@@SamHolland i must be blind .. coudln't find a comparison video between the ninja v and shinobi fan noise and also not on how and where to mount the microphone when using the ninja v .. can you send me the links? thanks in advance!
@@SamHolland this one i watched, but it doesn't say where to mount the mic on a cage next to the external screen, which is what i wanted to know :) thanks though
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???!

The Ninja will be essential for backup recording for something you can't really film again like a wedding.

@@HiethGeorge any solution? Im r3 shooter researching monitor/recorder.
@@HilleCine Hi yeah I got 2 Ninjas a few weeks ago after contacting Atomos they work great 👍🏻
@@HiethGeorge Thanks so if I understand correctly there is no Raw output on the R3 to ninja v so maximum would be 60fps 10bit? Thanks for your response
What’s better for gaming vids
So, do I understand that correct, at about 6:10, this means, if I need a recorder for e.g. creating manuals and showing what's going in the configuration menus, I need the Ninja V and can't do it with the Shinobi?
That’s right
Great comparison, thanks a lot for this. I'm now deciding the Shinobi would make much more sense for me since a lot of times I don't have access to a plug during a shoot, so I use all the battery I can get. And since I'm doing a lot of moving around and gimbal lifting I could really use the lighter weight. Also I have an a7iv which records 10bit 4K internally so I don't really see the need for the Ninja V at all.
Just a question: I read the Shinobi uses NP-F battery types. With my Sony I use NP-FZ100 batteries. Would those be compatible with the monitor, by any chance?
It was super helpful to watch your video, thanks again!
Are the Shinobi colors acurate with your camera?
I noticed on my Ninja V they are very warm vs. my camera. So I returned it instead of spending more to calibrate it.
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?
curious about this too
i'm also wondering
Great video 👍👍
Thank you 🤩🙏🏻🎥
These look amazing I've seen a lot of these at adorama
Does anyone have a problem not having full screen with Sony A7SIII?
DO YOU ALSO HAVE A VIDEO ABOUT THE: ATOM A5 VAXIS MONITOR? Please 😎
Is Shinobi compatible with Canon R6 Mark II and R5? Website says no, it didn’t know if anyone has had success with this.
Great video Sam! But for me the Ninja V. That Pro Res RAW ability would be so useful, especially with the Sony A7siii. Certainly, if you don't need that external recording capability, the Shinobi is a no brainer!
Thanks for watching brother! 🙏🏻🎥 great tools to have 🤩
If i shoot 4k 120p 10bit slog3 will i be able to view it on shinobi?
Thanks for this review! Does the ninja v have a recording time limit?
(Like canon’s 30 minute limit on its DSLRs)
Hey Jay. The ninja v takes an ssd card so it all depends on how big that storage is and what codec you record at. Hope this helps 🤩🙏🏻🎥
For me there is no question., Ninja V is a like a permanent extension of my R6 (unless I am shooting stills).
Hey man, why do you need the ninja V for your r6? I have an r6 as well. I bought the shinobi but now I can’t use the touchscreen while recording.
do any of these monitors play sound . if you was to play video back through from the camera via the hdmi input port . thanks ..
Does the Shinobi ever get hot to the touch?
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!
Love it ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have never understood why can't a simple phone or iPad be used as an external monitor.
V ninja vs T owl? They're the same model
Just got the Nimja V+ ; why is nobody talking about the huge fan noise.
In the plus?? That’s a shame
Shinobi is sdi- hdmi converter too ?
Recording externally to the ninja V, will this work around the crop factor whilst recording in 4k at 60fps? (S5 user)
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?
My Sony a6600 can record 10 bit 4.2.2 externally, so does that mean I need an external monitor that has to have a recording facility?
That’s right. The Ninja V will be the one for you. Along with an SSD hard drive. I use this one… geni.us/vVcJE
Hope this helps 🙏🏻🎥
@@SamHolland much cheaper than the ninja ssd thanks I would like one for my s5 for the 6k raw but have windows based computer new and upto date but will I be able to use any of it due to not owning a Mac for the software ? Would the black magic be a better option for me? Thanks
Do these monitors have touch focus?
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
Hi. No you just use the one file. Whichever one you prefer to work with. Prores (from the ninja v) will take up more storage space but it will run faster on your computer making it easier to edit. 🙏🏻 hope this helps 🎥
What's the use of paying 300 bucks just to watch it on a bigger monitor. We get the monitors to get better resolutions so the Shinobi makes no sense.
So is the Blackmagic Video Assist 5"/7" 12G HDR a complete no-no then?
Hi. I haven’t tried this monitor so I can’t comment on that.
Thanks for watching 🤩🙏🏻🎥
@@SamHolland you should, it's at least on a par with the Ninja range 👍🏼 Did you ever recover your drone? I still feel sick for you 😓
There’s a few monitors I’d love to try so I’ll add it to the list 🤩👌🏻 I also love the features of the DJI 4D monitor! That MF metering is insane!
Ah no I didn’t 😢 but I have a present coning from DJI soon 🤩🎉
@@SamHolland I've got the Blackmagic Video Assist 5" 12G HDR which I'll happily loan to you if you'd like to create a side by side review of the 3?
is there a difference in fan noise? i don't understand how ppl are using the ninja V and a mic next to it
Yeh there’s a massive difference but if you have the mic in the right position, it shouldn’t pick up the sound of the fan 👌🏻 I have plenty of audio and mic placement videos on my channel that should help if you need 🎥🙏🏻
@@SamHolland i must be blind .. coudln't find a comparison video between the ninja v and shinobi fan noise and also not on how and where to mount the microphone when using the ninja v .. can you send me the links? thanks in advance!
Hey. Here’s an audio video. It’s an old one but hope it helps 😂🙏🏻🎥 ruclips.net/video/GOcmq-swnmM/видео.html
@@SamHolland this one i watched, but it doesn't say where to mount the mic on a cage next to the external screen, which is what i wanted to know :) thanks though
Ohhhhhhh I’m with you. Sorry I didn’t know you meant that
a noob. No need for a monitor yet but this was handy
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???!
I’ve also noticed a slight difference in the image when recording with the Ninja V also 🤔
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)
