You can record in 4k/60 - just have your HDMI output set to 4k/30 or lower. You can playback the files from a Sony camera just fine!

@@RossBarnett02 Thank You so much !! This definitely helps me make my decision

@@photographyevolved no focus points shown on the monitor when in autofocus. Only thing you have there is focus peaking built into the monitor, but that’s different than what you’re wanting. No fan noise - there is no fan! Boot time is about 9 seconds.

@@RossBarnett02really grateful for your reply.. I’m so on the fence. The LH7P is nice but I keep finding conflicting reviews on fan noise and WiFi setup on each time. Plus the complaints of boot time. Don’t really need touch focus control but would like to see what the camera is doing with both focus and settings..

@@photographyevolved I will say, the LH7P also doesn’t show your focus points. So, there’s pros and cons with both monitors. I’ve talked with Atomos, and they “say” they’re bringing touch to focus soon for the Shinobi II… but, who knows if there’s any truth to that. I have a few videos on each monitor and have used both monitors daily over the last few months. For what I do, I prefer the Shinobi II

@@RossBarnett02 man I’m glad you said something… I could have swore the LH7p showed the focus squares… do any of them do that?

@@photographyevolved at the moment, I don’t know any monitors that will show the autofocus point from the camera without using focus peaking.

I’m not sure if there is one. I don’t think so.

Fair point - the onboard display on the BM cameras are fantastic. I wish other companies followed suit with displays like this.

I love that thing - makes for such a clean setup when you don’t need rods. I just added the link to the description!

@@RossBarnett02 Yea indeed, thanks!

The Shinobi II charges the camera! So either from the monitor battery itself, or daisy chained through the v-mount battery.

@@RossBarnett02 awesome thanks!

yes! I just pulled it out to check - it does work, however - to change the custom modes with the dials on the camera I need to toggle over to the "monitor controls" section of the monitor. The dials still do nothing when in camera control mode.

@@RossBarnett02 Mine does the same thing. Does the screen on your Shinobi II display flicker on and off for a brief second when you change the custom dials on your camera? My screen flickers on and off for about two seconds. I think this may be a bug within the software. Hopefully, Atomos can fix it in the next update.

@@dspoet1 mine does not, interested to see what your HDMI settings are to the monitor, do they change with each custom setting or are they all 3 the same output?

@@RossBarnett02 Output resolution is auto. HDMI resolution is auto. All three have the same output. When I switch between custom dial 2 (4k60) and custom dial 3 (1080p @ 120), the Shinobi ii display doensn't flicker. It's only flickers when I switch between custom dial 1 (4k24) and custom dial 2. What's weird is that when I set the hdmi resolution and the output resolution to 1080i, the Shinobi display doesn't flicker when I change the custom dials on the Sony A7IV. I'm starting to think that the A7IV isn't fully compatible with the Shinobi II.

@@RossBarnett02 What? lol thats not what your video shows. You are clearly in camera control mode and making the switches. So whats really going on here?

@@mOo84 Looks like the LH5PII might be the best choice based on your setup & needs (touch to focus + wireless connection). I’m interested if the FX3 can do both (camera control via USB-C to the Ronin PLUS camera control via wifi to the LH5PII). For some reason, I don’t think the camera will allow both connections. I might be wrong with that one though. I can try and test this with my own setup.

@@RossBarnett02 That would be interesting because camera control via the Ronin is much more important to me than touch focus on the monitor. I don’t think I’d find a real need to use any of the on-monitor camera controls - it’d literally just be the ability to use touch to focus.

@@RossBarnett02 And TBH, the touch to focus isn’t all THAT critical based on how I shoot - just a useful tool to have in some instances. Probably more concerned with overall quality / UI / weight & dimensions of the monitor.

@@Hanginwithkennedy check the card format! Needs to be either Fat32 or NTFS. It will update on power on when it’s formatted correctly 🤙🏼

@RossBarnett02 that fixed it thanks bro

@@kennehtk interesting!! I didn’t know either of these. Appreciate the comment!

@@romanchurch6768 appreciate that!

@@davidgeorge4112 hey David! I actually bought an LH5Pii a few days before the Shinobi II release. If you absolutely need tough to focus, the LH5P II is the best monitor out there. However, when compared to the Shinobi II the UI is simple but finicky I put out a video last week on the LH5Pii and hopefully that shows some of my frustrations with the monitor.

@@RossBarnett02 Hi Thanks for the reply. Sorry didnt see that, I'll have a look. One review I saw on UA-cam suggested the latest Portkeys firmware made it much easier to use.

I haven’t worked with the viltrox yet!

@@Tyrellco7 I’ve never worked specifically with the viltrox, however - I know it doesn’t support camera control. So, it really depends on (what kind of camera you’re using it with) and if you want to be able to see your camera settings on the screen.

Oooo, the double NPF battery? Nice!

@@SupraheadStudio 😂😂😂 I’m not even offended this is just hilarious. Did you do the update correctly? You can always try to update again.

@@RossBarnett02 You are kind, but I’m not the type of person who leaves comments just for the sake of it. If I had the opportunity to make this update correctly, I wouldn’t be wasting my time writing on your news feed. I’m doing this precisely to warn other users of the risks they might face when performing this update. I appreciate the seriousness you bring to your responses in the comments and wish you a pleasant day.

@@finnkennedy5682 weird - I didn’t set anything special. Just simply updated it and turned it on. Do you have the same issues with being in the camera control menu & monitor control menu?

I have the same issue. I also have an A7SIII like in the video and my mode 1,2,and 3 are not switching after upgrading the FW. I have contacted Atomos but they are putting this back on Sony. I even sent them this video as a reference lol. Im like hey guys here is proof that its working for some and not others with the same camera model!

@@Panotaker it does not! I imagine they’ll add it eventually, but currently there is no option for EL zone on the Shinobi II

@@pidezi is the math not mathing? appreciate the comment!

@@geezsazsa fair point fair point - I just have so much to say and so little time I just keep on with the video. Probably changing the A7IV I record UA-cam content with to not be centered focus will help with these shoots. Appreciate the feedback!

@@geezsazsa nope. From my understanding, Fuji doesn’t allow camera control from third parties across their entire lineup.

@@morti851 I’ve seen that mentioned in the comments as well. Changing opacity of the overlays would be incredibly helpful!

@@gabbyaguirrephotography the portkeys LH7P will run on any NP-L batteries. I always run “off brand batteries” and have never had an issue.

@@gabbyaguirrephotography You’ll need a USB-C cable to control the camera from the monitor. And, an HDMI cable to see the image. As far as battery, I use about 150wh total throughout a 12hr wedding day powering the monitor + camera from Smallrig 99wh V-Mount batteries.

@@ervown we will wait and see. That would be a lovely feature for sure 👍🏼

@@fabianbetto appreciate you!

@@idesign241 thank you!

@@djangelramirezmpls seems about right. You go handheld or gimbal for the dancing?

@@RossBarnett02 we do a lot of Latin events and they love documentaries edits So I shoot with 2 gimbals Lately I’m been experimenting 1 gimbal & 1 hand held Hand held gives it more energy when people dance in a huge circle

@@djangelramirezmpls handheld definitely brings the energy, but the gimbal helps so much for doc style edits for sure.

@@squeezzeee hmmm - I’m not sure if this would be considered a bug or a feature. Personally I like having the camera controls on the screen at all times. I’m guessing you want a clean feed with the recording bars?

yeah. just recording red box will be good.

Just tap the screen and all info will go away.

@@DayedreamMedia when I press record on camera, It will be shown again.

You can also toggle on/off camera status in the input settings. That will remove the camera info box from the screen.

@@KoyotePenny_2024 It technically is 3,000 watch hours to turn on monetization. But, it’s limited to just channel supers and a UA-cam store. Gaining Monetization with AdSense so you’re getting paid for the advertising doesn’t start until 4,000 watch hours. Kinda tricky, I was fooled by this early on as well.

@@RossBarnett02 thanks for the information 👍

@@03LilShaun that lens is butter. 🧈

@@throughkennyslenses Absolutely, Try formatting your SD card to FAT32 or NTFS. Atomos is specific on how your cards are formatted. It should update instantly when booting up once you get the SD card format correct.

@@Marvnz It’s not bad. And, even the fact I’m complaining about it is a little silly. However, with the way I typically shoot all day events, continuously connecting the monitor every time I start up the camera gets annoying. Plus, I’ve had a few weddings with full bands where the wireless connection isn’t stable due to so much wireless in the room. It’s little things like that that drive me to the shinobi II.

heck yeah - if I can ever clean the rest of my office and keep it clean long enough I'll do a full office tour. Working on that video soon. Appreciate the input!

@@Marvnz Nope, USB-C is what delivers the camera control. HDMI only delivers the image. You can use the monitor without the USB just fine, but you won’t have the camera control features.

@@RossBarnett02 thanks mate, appreciate it.

@@ckdesignlab appreciate that so much!

Would love to see EL Zone on this.

I made your wonderful update and now the device is totally bricked wonderful job atomos 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

I upgraded to 11.1.1 and I still cannot switch to my programmed modes 1,2,3 on the dial. I still have to hit the camera controls button for it to change.

It would also be nice if the camera would charge while the Shinobi is powered off.

Also, Atomos. Changing LUTs while in camera control mode does not work all the way. Yes, the LUT will change but the name of the LUT will not until you come out of the settings.

@@MartgMedia Sony L Series batteries / There’s also a link in the description for the dummy battery I’m using for the monitor to run from my v-mount battery.

@@aaphotofilm might be simple fix: be sure your SD card is formatted to NTFS or FAT32

@@RossBarnett02 formatted to NTFS or FAT32? how? what does that even mean lol, im doing this on a SD card

@@RossBarnett02 OMG you know what, i just googled what you meant and you was right, i been at it all morning and you helped solve my problem lol thank you so much, you was right, it was a simple fix lol

@@aaphotofilm love that! Good work 🤝

@@RossBarnett02 yea seriously been at it all day. Your a true lifesaver. You are amazing thank you 😊

@@phonancialsuccess SO appreciate that! Maybe one day soon I’ll make a video talking about all I’ve learned in the first year of UA-cam. Hopefully have some tips along the way.

@@RossBarnett02 looking forward to that 🤞

Honestly tough call on the "best" monitor. I guess it really all depends on your use case. Currently I'm rocking with the Shinobi II + LH7P for larger sets. I don't mind the plastic build on the LH7P because it's typically never in a position to be dropped/bent/broken. But, that's just me. The metal build of the LH5P II is nice though.

Appreciate the support so much!

Honestly it's a tough call. Spec wise - the LH5P II is better. User experience wise, I prefer the UI and camera control of the Shinobi II.. Honestly the only reason i'd recommend the LH5P II over Shinobi II is if you need loop HDMI out often, or would need wireless camera control (say, for controlling a camera on a car rig). But, my everyday use case for this monitor is handheld on a camera rig, so the Shinobi II wins mainly off of user experience and not needing the HDMI out. But still, tough call.

I unfortunately don't own the Ninja V or the Shinobi 7" but I haven't noticed or read anything about higher latency with this monitor. If there is any latency, it definitely isn't noticeable when filming.

@@RossBarnett02 Figured it out, sorry! What it is is that if you only select 4k internally that is all it will display. When you select 4k it basically has warping. In 1080 it goes back to having no latency!

@@MarvellousVisuals ahh, nope! Just the monitor powers the camera from the monitor battery - OR from a v-mount battery powering the monitor + powering the camera.

@@RossBarnett02 Got you!!! to be fair that's a little useful as I can ditch the vmount power to camera

@@danielgray1874 In my setup, the V-mount battery powers the monitor. Then, the USB-C from the monitor powers the camera while utilizing camera control. Draining the V-mount battery. Or, you can put a NP-L battery on the back of the monitor - and with power delivery on the monitor battery will charge the camera.
