Alvin's Cables Z Cam E2 L Shape 4K 60P HDMI Cable for Atomos Shinobi Ninja V Monitor Right Angle to Right Angle High Speed HDMI Cord works great on my E2F6 to NINJA V, no dropped frames.
@@REDEpicGuy haha nope. This comment messed me up and I purchased a useless cord since they didn’t list the HDMI’s speeds. Too bad they didn’t design this cord with all features in mind.
Yang J. Ahn this is where you can find the correct cable- www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1562063-REG/atomos_atomcab018_usb_c_to_serial_calibration.html
You can read about the cable ATOMCAB018 here: firmware.atomos.com/TXT/NJV/FirmwareReleaseNotes-NINJAV-10-5-ZCAM-300620.pdf atomOS confirms that it will only be 40cm or about 15 inches. You can pre-order the cable now if you google it. It's $65. They show shipping July 2020 but nothing yet.
@@Sandromandro I've jsut come back to this video, as i thought after not using the cable for months, id give it ago again. But i have a Lemo cable, not the usb cable, i think.
Hello!! Thanks for the great video. Whenever I plug the cable in, I have the camera option that appears and I'm able to change all the settings just like you. However, the "Menu" option doesn't appear on the right hand corner. Do you know how to fix this?
Great video. I am having the dropping frame issue even when not recording. Would that be a cable issue instead of an SSD issue since it happens regardless of recording status? I appreciate it.
Hi, Thanks for the great video. Quick question. Can I connect to LANC control port on ZCAM E2-M4 or E2-S6 instead of USB-C ? ie. LANC on Ninja V to LANC on E2 camera. Keeping USB-C free is useful to record with SSD disks directly.
according to other videos it works with an UART to LANC cable. Doesn't make any sense to use the worthy USB-C type port here. I don't get why these incredibly overpriced monitors do not even have wifi, which would enable you to control everything wireless. You CAN GO WIRELESS, this is technically possible. An iPhone works...
Great video Sandro. One question though: I just got the E2S6 with Ninja V and bought the USB-C lanc of Atomos. But. I cannot get it to take the camera controls. Any setting that need to be changed? Already tried turning on and of as you mentioned in the video...
@@Sandromandro I did that already. It’s probably a faulty cable, at least that’s what I came to conclude together with someone from Atomos. So I’m getting a replacement soon
The small menu screen on top of the camera, can that be used as a monitor in a worse case scenario situation like if my field monitor's HDMI port were to be damaged during a shoot?
Yes that‘s possible! Press and hold FN + OK button. But it is very very small :D Better use your phone with the App as a backup, with Firmware 0.98 it is very stable.
Do you need the control cable if you just want to record Prores Raw without having camera control? My NinjaV detects the raw signal but when I put in the code from Atomos for raw, it doesn't change the codec to raw.
Hi, your video is what got me started, thanks very much:) I have a challenge I am not able to solve and I wonder if you might have som insight? My firmware is updated on the Ninja V, my RAW access code is activated. On the camera I choose 4K 50p and ProRes 422 (LT,HQ it does not matter), the monitor input says HDp25? In many cases the monitor only reads p25. When I set the camera to H265p50 the monitor reads HDp50. I do not understand why I cannot record in p50. Thank you so much in advance for any solutions/insight.
Hi there!! I have a quick question!! So... can the atoms ninja v record ProRes422(not ProRes Raw) Since the Cfast card is crazy expensive, I would like to save some money! If recording ProRes 422 on ninja v is possible!! Anyways I love your contents and anamorphic one as well!!
Hey mate! Thank you :) it is possible to record ProRes 422 with the Ninja V but not automatically. You have to set the right hdmi Settings you wanna have. For example you want 4K 50fps than you have to switch the HDMI format on the Zcam to 4K UHD P50 and don’t forget to disable display Info. :)
That shorter camera control cable is out now. I just ordered one from B & H in New York. I will be trying this camera control out on my ZCAM E2C camera to see if that works properly in ProRes RAW HQ. Also, if you are getting the Kangaroo Symbol indicating frame drops have you checked your HDD plugged into your Ninja V ? Perhaps it is too slow for the data rate of ProRes RAW ? Maybe this is the cause of your issue ?
Sandro, have you tried using the ninja as just a monitor and outputting log onto it (still recording internally or via an external ssd drive? I would love to see if you can have the ninja convert the log file into a recognisable picture style - rather than that milky washed out nothingness. :)
Have you tried loading ZCAM native Lutz while filming? It remedies the white wash but still records in LOG or RAW. Unless you already know this, then nevermind 😅

Enjoying your content. Funny, entertaining yet informative. Keep up the good work. Waiting for my e2s6 still in transit.... Subscribed
Thx for your words! Have fun with your e2s6
Alvin's Cables is coming out with a 30cm cable that is plugged into Control Port (not USB)
How can I learn more about this cable? I’m very Interested to get one. Thanks for sharing!
If you can provide any details on this it would be appreciated.

I got a shipment notification today from Adorama!
Bro what lense are you using at 4:14??
Dude, you're missing a K after your subscriber amount, your content is A++. Keep it up man.
Brad Foster thanks for your words :)
Seriously, I keep looking at it like its a typo. The algorithm is hating on this guy. The zcam content is great!
@@Sandromandro I've jsut come back to this video, as i thought after not using the cable for months, id give it ago again. But i have a Lemo cable, not the usb cable, i think.
Do I have to use the USB to serial LANC cable
Hey man, great how to vid! What are the Z Cam usb connection settings? Host, mass storage, web cam?
hi Can you help me why there is no Zcam in my Camera OutPut section?
Thanks
There is a USB-C option I believe as well. Great vid bud! thanks for sharing!
There is one from atomos and it’s also shorter which is nice and no need bundle excess cable

1:55 how to get menu icon. It does not show in my ninja monitor. Please advise mate
Maybe check again if you have the latest firmware.
@@Sandromandro RAW over HDMI should be OFF. Then menu icon appears
Does this work with the shinobi 5 inch?
Nice, not sure will that work on E2 M4

Câble is maybe the issue.try the zlr !!

Hey mate, I test it out and it doesn’t work for now. Hopefully there will be a LANC solution soon.
Does anyone know what the LANC connection on the Z Cam is doing? I want to know if it sends an output or if it only receives.

No link to the cable?...

Check in the ninja V settings if your control setting is set to camera control and then reboot everything

Want to buy this camera but my main issue is how does auto focus work? Do I need a certain lens?
Do you need the control cable if you just want to record Prores Raw without having camera control? My NinjaV detects the raw signal but when I put in the code from Atomos for raw, it doesn't change the codec to raw.
Hey Joe you can record ProRes Raw without the control cable. Check again the latest atomos firmware update & plug of and back in the HDMI cable
Thanks for the video! Is there alot of delay on the monitor?
There is no delay in camera control but the HDMI has a little delay
zfam! keep it goin bro!
Only thing you cant change the shutter angle only in shutter speed.
Same kangaroo on my m4 with angelbird 512 @ 12 bit.Good video!
Happened to me too on Sony, but in post I didn't notice any frame drops. I wonder how serious of a drop it is.
Was this Shot on the ZCam?

anyone know if this works with the Shinobi?
Kann auf dem externen Monitor die Galerie nicht angeschaut werden? Ich das nur per ZCam App möglich?
So eine Galerie wie in der App gibt es nicht mit dem Atomos. Jedes file wird dann in Vollbild angezeigt.
@@Sandromandro ok aber wo kann ich das anwählen beziehungsweise starten?
Will this work on my Atomos Shinobi?
Not until now, maybe they add the functions in future firmware updates. For now Camera Control is only available with Ninja V atomOS 10.50 or higher
@@Sandromandro Oh okay. and is it the same for the Z Cam E2 M4?
I didn’t test it on the m4 but atomos says it is available for all E2 series
Wow right after I buy a C200B 😂😂😭😭 - does this work with the c200B?
The camera control feature I don’t know but raw over HDMI for sure if it supports external raw 😅
Thanks for the video I sub waiting for more videos.

@@darryljp That sounds good. I will try that,
Next firmware update, the cangaroo is already on its way to Australia :)
Stop controling me !😂🤣🙇♂️🙇♂️
I thought the kangaroo was due to SSD’s that weren’t fast enough?
Yea you are right. The SSD i choose was a bit to slow. You‘lol find a link in the description with SSD‘s which work without framedrop
yeah that does not seems to be optimal to be honest
heres usb-c one, coming soon www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1562063-REG/atomos_atomcab018_usb_c_to_serial_calibration.html
Thought it’d be good but it’s just too bad compared to the app..
