Atomos Ninja V Reviews

Camera and Monitor exposure DO NOT MATCH!

By Kevin
Rated 1 out of 5
Date: 2023-09-24

apparently this is well documented on the internet (too bad I didn't pick anything up in the reviews) I certainly had no problem finding other users with the same problem. That is, you set exposure on your camera (A7SIII) but the Ninja displays AND RECORDS a brighter, overexposed file - the exposures simply do not match! The best I can do at the moment is turn the Rec.709 LUT off and adjust exposure from 90% to 100% (as I am shooting in S-Log 3) but doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of a MONITOR! UNACCEPTBLE!

Fantastic Recording Monitor!

This monitor has worked wonders for our livestream camera operators. When we need them for a recording, we can take them off and put them on our mirrorless camera bodies temporarily before putting them back for our regular livestream needs. Fantastic purchase!

Fantastic Tech

Great piece of tech to pair with DSLR cameras. I mount to my A7IV for run and gun events or product videography. The size, brightness and clarity of the monitor alone would be enough for me to buy it again. The recording capabilities come in clutch and allow me to have a backup SSD of my footage in case anything happens to my SD card. The only downside is that this monitor tends to run hot, especially when used in sunlight. So far the temperature has not affected the performance. Definitely worth the spend.

It works - EVERY time

I now have four of these units, along with the Atomos Sync modules (now discontinued) to sync their timecode. Works like a champ, and I love having the waveform and vectorscopes at my fingertips at all times. I'm disappointed that Atomos discontinued the Sync module. I understand they have other products that will perform the same function, but the Sync modules work very well. I'm looking forward to years of service from these units.

Perfect Solution!

Still going through a learning curve with this as I've never had the need for an external recorder/monitor. Updating the firmware and adding additional codecs via MyAtamos is a breeze.

question

Can I use it with Fujifilm Xh1 to record 60p 4K 10bit 422? What about Fujifilm Xt2?
Asked by: ek C.
You will be able to use the Ninja V with both cameras. However those cameras only output 4K at up to 30fps and 8-Bit 4:2:2. The camera most output at 60fps and 10-Bit for it to be recorded in that format, which those cameras do not.

There is no audio recorded in the video when I connected the Ninja V with my Sony A7iii? How to get the audio?
Asked by: RAJAN
If you are going HDMI out from your camera, into the HDMI port on the Ninja, you should receive whatever audio your camera is receiving. How are you getting audio into your Sony? Is there a setting within the camera's menu that can either deny or send audio through the camera's HDMI out port? I would start there. I've also found that the Atomos support personnel in the U.S. are extremely helpful with this sort of issue. There is a phone number to call their U.S. office in Oregon on the Atomos website.
