Atomos Shinobi II Overview

Brighten your on-camera monitoring with the Atomos Shinobi II 5.2" HDMI HDR Monitor. The Shinobi II has been designed for vloggers, photographers, and content creators with numerous feature improvements over the original Shinobi, including a slimmer body design, a 50% brighter display at 1500 cd/m², USB-C camera control for Canon/Panasonic/Sony/Z CAM with status indicators, a new AtomOS 11 interface, USB-C PD power I/O, a locking HDMI and USB-C adapter, updated image tools, and ultra-low battery consumption so the monitor can run all day on only a single battery.
Camera Control
Use the USB-C port to control the latest mirrorless or DSLR cameras from Canon, Panasonic, Sony, and Z CAM's E2 line. There is also a 2.5mm LANC port on the side for additional control compatibility.

NOTE: This will expand with future support for cameras from FUJIFILM, Nikon, OM System, and Sigma with firmware updates.

Camera Status
A camera status indicator allows you to keep an eye on the camera's internal record settings, battery status, and remaining recording time. A red edge display shows when the camera is recording internally, whether triggered by the camera or from the Shinobi II.
AtomOS 11 & Advanced Image Tools
The Shinobi II includes the latest Atomos AtomOS 11, which introduces numerous new tools and features with a more logical layout and easy-to-navigate interface.

Use the Shinobi II interface to adjust your camera lenses' aperture, shutter speed/angle, and ISO with its built-in exposure tools, such as false color, waveforms, zebras, or histogram, and achieve perfect exposure on every shot.

Brighter Display
The 5.2" touchscreen display is 50% brighter than the Shinobi, measuring 1500 cd/m² peak brightness, making it easily readable whether you're shooting indoors or in bright sunlight.
Input Signals
The Shinobi II features an HDMI 1.4 input that allows you to monitor signals in various resolutions and frame rates up to DCI/UHD 4K30 and up to 1080p60.
HDR and LUT Support
The HDR HLG and HDR PQ monitoring modes allow you to preview what your camera's Log output might look like in HDR. Users can also upload up to eight custom LUTs to the monitor's built-in storage to preview their shots with their own favorite looks.
Frame Guides
A variety of built-in cinema-style and social media-focused frame guides help compose your shots, including presets for 2.41, 2.35, 1.91, 1.9, 1.85, 16:9, 9:16, 4:5, 2:3, 1:1, 5:4, 4:3, 3:2.
Lightweight Design
The monitor has been designed with a slimmer form factor, weighing only 7.4 oz, and there are added locating holes alongside the 1/4"-20 threads for anti-twist mounting. A single L-series battery plate on the back has been placed in the center to improve balancing and maneuverability. The included HDMI/USB-C locking adapter allows you to use Atomos' new line of locking cables to prevent disconnecting or pulling.
Power Options
There are multiple methods to power the Shinobi II, including an L-series/NP-F style battery, an optional battery eliminator (dummy battery) in combination with a DC barrel to D-Tap cable, or via a USB-C PD charger with 10W input. You can also charge/power your camera via USB-C PD 13W output while using Shinobi II's camera control features.

Currently, Atomos does not offer a compatible Hood for the Shinobi II. The Atomos Sun hood for Ninja V, Shinobi, and Shinobi SDI (Black) does not support the New Shinobi II. The best recommended Hood idea is: Wooden Camera LCD Sun Shade (4 to 5") BH #WO218700
