- Many people have asked me about using my Atomos Ninja V on the Red Komodo. In this video I am explaining why I chose this uncommon combination and why you may want to consider using this monitor for a cinema camera as well.

Legend! Finally someone who didn't spend another £500 on a monitor when they got the Komodo and answered all the questions I had!
Great to hear that, thanks for your feedback! 🤙🏼
The production quality of this was insane! Liked as soon as I saw the intro
Thanks so much! Really appreciate your time and letting me know, you’re awesome! Stay Safe! ✌🏼
Nice Video! The Quality is so insane :o Like the Idea of using the tv as a backdrop. Keep it up
Thanks a lot, there’s some more stuff coming up 🔥
Crazy good content! Creative, entertaining, informative. Btw (yeah im gonna be that guy 😅) how do you achieve this film look with red glow? Is there a particuliar LUT you're using? Keep it up 🔥
Thanks mate! I’m using a plugin called Dehancer, it’s a high end, very accurate film emulation tool. You’re definitely not the only one asking me about this, so I guess I’ll have to do a video about it eventually 😉🤙🏼
Great video. Thank you.
Appreciate it 🙏🏼
The sdi module was discontinued
Just so good.
Thanks West 🤙🏼
I have the portkeyBM5 with my komodo but on of the think I don't like is that you can't see the exposure channel from the komodo to the portkey. But I saw that you can do it in the Ninja! I have a ninja too for my s1h and maybe now considering purchased a sdi adapter. Thanks!
It’s actually a setting in the camera whether you output extra info to your SDI device, so I guess it shouldn’t make a difference what monitor you’re using.
@@MortyFilms oh good to know! Will try it! Is it in the sdi menu?
@@JohanGassCommunications Yes, I think so
Thanks for the video. Can you control everything like Framerate, Aperture, etc and use it like the Red monitor? Just thinking about getting a Komodo+ and use my V as well. Kindly Fabian
Hi Fabian, unfortunately camera control doesn’t work with this combination. You’ll need a SmallHD monitor that can do that, but that’s quite a bit more expensive. Apparently you can also do it with the PortKeys BM5 III WR, but I haven’t tried it out myself yet.
Have you had any issues connecting the sdi module?
No, not at all, it worked right away. 👍🏼
Question...are you powering your ninja v to your mount battery?
Yes, I am :)
@@MortyFilms Awesome! I think I will go with this option. Are you using Alvin's Cables dtap?
@@visualtheoryfilms exactly, works like a charm
Could you also use an Atomos Shinobi with a SDI modul?
Good question! It doesn’t look like it, but the 7” version of the shinobi already has SDI ports. As for the 5” version, it seems like the only compatible monitors are the Ninja V and Ninja V+.
@@MortyFilms ok Thank you
@@TMD_Produktion I use 5" Shinobi with my Komodo........the Panel in the Shinobi and the Ninja are same. They both are calibratable monitors......obviously the Shinobi is just a monitor and you won't be writing anything to it. Will probably be a bit tougher to find the Shinobi though but if you can it will be cheaper and yes it works.
@@Thaddeuspryor cool Thanks 🙌
I have the Shinobi with SDI built in......no need for an adaptor
Can it control the camera’s settings?
No, it can’t unfortunately. I think the cheapest solution for that would be a PortKeys BM5 monitor. Or a SmallHD if you want to spend a bit more.
@@MortyFilms thank you! Fantastic video.
@@z35films Thank YOU 🙏🏼
When recording externally what max frame rate can you do on ninja v vis sdi from Komodo?
While 12G SDI does max out at 120fps in 4k, the Komodo maxes out at 60fps in 4k so 60fps it is I guess. Usually I’m just shooting 25fps most of the times tbh.
Another valid alternative is the 7 inches recorder monitor from Atoms it comes already with sdi hdmi cross co.
@@lucariccidj true, haven’t tried it yet, but it would be an interesting comparison
Did you have to upgrade the ninja v in order to record in 4k ?
Despite the settings I use, I’m only able to get 2k recording, from my KOMODO, into the the ninja.
Please advise. Thank you!
I didn’t have to upgrade my Ninja, are you using a 12G SDI cable?
@@MortyFilms thanks for the quick response. Do you have the SDI RAW CODEC? Or PRO RES RAW? I am using a 12g SDI cable. Thanks again!
@@juanmosqueda7660 The Komodo doesn’t output RAW data via SDI, so I just record ProRes on the Ninja as backup files and RAW in camera.
@@MortyFilms oh I know. And thanks again for replying. I just can’t understand why I’m unable to record in 4k. I don’t even plan on recording on my ninja. I think it’s pointless to record anything but R3D files. But if someone insisted on it, I’d like to record in 4k with my ninja. I just don’t get why it’s not working for me. Buggin the sh*t out of me haha thanks bruv!
Ha ha, alright I see. We’ll I guess in that case you can probably throw out a question in the Atomos or Komodo Users group on Facebook, or just contact Atomos directly, their service was always mint and super helpful for me.
Budget
Well yes, for Komodo owners, who this video is clearly targeted towards, the Ninja V is a budget solution compared to other monitors that are commonly used with the Komodo.
1). stop with the stupid film grain.
2). bought the Atomos ninja shinobi 7in for my Komodo, within seconds of turning it on I knew it was going back. Unbeliveably horrible quality image. As one reviewer I read before buying said, I would never trust this thing to focus. With a sigma 18-35 on and a KNURLED silver knob a few inches in front of the lens, I couldnt even confirm it was in focus and I have 20/20 vision. There is some weird ghosting effect with this horrible screen. Now I know why people spen 1-2grand on monitors for Komodo. I didnt even unbox all the accesories like anton bauer batteries and chanegers, I just sent it all back. Id rather have NO monitor than this. Which is what I chose.
3). the image being so low quality on the atomos is not pleasant to look at at all, its so bad. so so so SO BAD.
no ones care about u think. go get some love
@@elieltmz I did, form your mom. Thank her for me.
Komodo is a proper cinema camera? Nope.
I’m sorry, it appears this comment was purposeful but it’s quite distracting… can you explain the intention behind it?
@@MortyFilms You said Komodo was a proper cine cam. I disagree.
well, alright I guess that’s debatable. It depends on what you compare it to.
And why is that? 😅 could you explain more you thoughts behind this comment..? Just to be short, you are wrong because there are already a lot of movies who used this camera...so by definition, it's a cinema camera...
@@jsleger3404 *proper
My argument was against stating it’s a proper cinema camera.
I’ve worked as a DP on two projects with this camera and it was fine but little things like making sure the the ND filters were ready and having to go the extra steps for the colorist added another step in preproduction when having that normally built in and changing on the fly slowed things down on set.
Monitor placement not ideal. It’s more of a B or C cam. Camera operator was having issues with the Wi-Fi transmitter on an simple top down shot. That added time to the shoot. RF mount wasn’t used. Small gripe but a removable one would be nice for PL mount. What’s your experience with working with the camera?
