Extremely informative! Thank you! I was wondering if this records proxy footage or if you can set the resolution of what you're looking to record externally? Also wondering if the Shogun might be more appropriate if we're trying to do this with multiple cameras (2 x Sony A7iii and 1 x Sony FX3)?
Unfortunately there is no proxy file recording, but in my experience the files handle very well in editing software so I haven't had the need to use proxies. The only thing you can control for the resolution is the recorded video, so you can have the camera sending 4k footage to the monitor and then it can record in 1080, so you can effectively down sample in a higher quality or record 4k in the camera and use the ninja files as proxies, which is kinda a backwards way to do it. This isn't the case for RAW though, it can only record in the sensor read out size, so depending on you camera its different but on the FX3 it would be be 4.2k and you cannot adjust the aspect ratio or anything like REDs can with compression
Man the lighting in your studio looks so nice. Your face looks perfectly lit. I wanted to watch a tutorial on how you set that up, but I couldn't find anything in your video feed.
Oh thank you! I've been meaning to make one, I spend a lot of time setting up the lighting for these videos but I'm not necessarily the most confident person so I'm always a little bit anxious sharing the advice on something I don't think I'm the great at 😅
thank you for your information mr shane i have 1 question about ninja v What do you suggest to me about the codec correspond to davinci resolve and thank you
I just said Nato rails are useful, this is the swivel mount smallrig.com/smallrig-swivel-and-tilt-monitor-mount-with-nato-clamp-both-sides-bse2385.html
Hi Shane, thank you for the video. You made me understand more about the Ninja V. Do you think it will be a good investment for me to purchase the Ninja V now to be used with my old A7iii to start my videography? I do appreciate any thoughts 🙏
Hi Shane! Great Work as always! Does this Ninja monitor connect to the hot shoe of Sony mirrorless camera since I am planning to use the sony ECM-B1M to audio-recording ? Thanks.
Thanks 😊 It doesn't require the hot shoe for anything thankfully. I find for balancing it's nicest to have it on top of the camera, however smallrig also makes a handle goes on top of the audio adapter so you have that as an option too, or Sony actually makes a cable that can move the hot shoe if you want it offset.
I have never used an A9, but I am unsure is the A9 had log profiles or not? With that said I've used it with the a6600, a7iii, a7riii, a7siii and a1 and never had an insurmountable issue
Yo Shane, great content btw! I want to ask a question. Does this Ninja V works for monitoring only? In case if I dont want to add SSD to external recording.
I don't currently have a dtap cable, I find myself using wall power most if the time if I can when my camera is on a tripod and then just the NP batts otherwise
Great video Shane. I was wondering if "Active Stabilizaton" and "Gyro Stabilization" are still available if shooting in ProRes 422? I don't think they are in ProRes RAW. Thanks!
Hi Jack, thank you 😊, and unfortunately gyrodata isn't able to be transferred through the HDMI, but active stabilization and every form of in body stabilization can be enabled while recording externally on Sony cameras in any format besides Raw. When recording Raw externally all you get is just essentially censor data, so you lose any processing done by the camera like noise reduction, stabilization, or down-sampling
@@ShaneBethlehem That's great! I'm surprised that very few people who recommend shooting in ProRes RAW on the Ninja V mention that active stabilization is no longer available.
Thank you very much! I think they discontinued the original part that I had but they replaced it with the: SmallRig Cold Shoe Mount BUC2736 It looks to just be an improved design on the one I had anyways
I don't think it's absolutely necessary in 90% of the situations, but when it is a full sunny day or for instance if there's snow on the ground and is very bright out it's hard to use the monitor. I think just because of how expensive it is it's worthwhile just to not buy it at first and see what you think and then decide from there, it's not critical to have when you buy it at first
Hey Shane! What (specific!!) drives do you use with your Ninja? I've tried drives by Kingston and Crucial but very occasionally get skipped frames, especially with the the 480gb Crucial drive I got.
Hey, currently I'm using Samsung drives and have not had an issue with them. The biggest defining factor is its max write speed, honestly I don't know the right number I literally just picked the fastest I saw 😬
Yes, I have a 250gb one I tested with and then a 1tb one that is my main drive. I've never had an issue with drop frames, only a single occurrence where several of the files on the drive corrupted or had a read error when I transferred them to my computer, at the time I reached out to atomos but never heard anything and have no clue what the issue was
Hey sorry for the slow reply, I use it with the a6600 without issue. I find shooting with the larger display to be a game changer for the smallee cameras
I touch on the topic at 14:00 briefly. I have not experience using the shinobi on an actual shoot, just holding a friends, it seems great but I can't say much more than that
Informative review. Much appreciated. Kinda seems like the host is drunk based on the speech slurring and cadence. Apologies if that's just your natural speech style.
@@ShaneBethlehem I also had a speech impediment growing up. I could not pronounce the consonant "R" (American R). Instead, it always came out as a "W." I was teased mercilessly about it in school. I went through speech therapy, and I understand that we all have different circumstances with language and pronunciation. There is nothing wrong with that, and I hope you understand where my comment was coming from. I was not intending to be unkind, but to my ears, it was noticeable. Now, I understand why. Thank you for your review and for sharing that information with me. All the best to you as well.
Really don't understand what your talking about with pro res raw and premiere pro, iv used nothing but pro res raw in premiere and have access to all the things you say you don't???? Premiere pro now accepts pro res raw in its fullest capabilities!
I haven't tried it since I made this video, but like a month ago all I had to access to was the exposure slider. I believe I was using the most current update to premiere but I could have made a mistaken, I'll have to check it out again!
Atomos AtomX Cast, I BOUGHT THIS AND THE FIRMWARE HAD TO BE UPDATED BUT THE USB-C DOESNT WORK BOTH B&H AND ATOMOS SAYS IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED OR REPAIRED BUT SINCE IM STILL WITH IN MY RETURN PERIOD IM GETTING RID OF THIS AND LOOKING ELSE WHERE. THIS IS NOT A RELIABLE PRODUCT IT HAS LOTS OF ISSUE'S WHICH THIS GUY DOESNT TELL YOU WOULD OF BEEN NICE TO SEE HONESTY
I’m sorry you had a completely rubbish experience, that blows. However in the years of use I’ve had with this product I’ve had no remotely similar issues, I barely even touch on it’s streaming function, the cast wasn’t even released when I published the video. I appreciate you sharing your negative experience but please don’t hold it against me just because I never experienced the same issues. All the best in finding an alternative, SmallHD make some fantastic alternatives.

Thank you very much, and thanks also for the sub :)
thank you for your information mr shane i have 1 question about ninja v What do you suggest to me about the codec correspond to davinci resolve and thank you
What is the Small Rig accessory you mention at 3:35? I cannot understand what you''re saying.
I’d like to know as well - what is that swivel attachment that allows the smooth rotation? Thanks!
I just said Nato rails are useful, this is the swivel mount

Hello,I'm using the Ninja v with my sony fx3 but it's stop recording after one minute each time!.Do you know please how i can fix that ?

Really interesting and well done video. I was wondering if would I have some issue with a Sony A9?
I have never used an A9, but I am unsure is the A9 had log profiles or not? With that said I've used it with the a6600, a7iii, a7riii, a7siii and a1 and never had an insurmountable issue
Yo Shane, great content btw! I want to ask a question. Does this Ninja V works for monitoring only? In case if I dont want to add SSD to external recording.
I'm a little slow on this reply but yes, it's a great monitor though there are much cheaper options if that is all you need it for
Great job!
What cable do you use to power the ninja v on a dtap battery? (not the overpriced atomos option 😂)
I don't currently have a dtap cable, I find myself using wall power most if the time if I can when my camera is on a tripod and then just the NP batts otherwise
@@ShaneBethlehem thank you! 😊
Is there a mode where it will start recording at the same time you start the camera on body button record?
Yes there is, but you need to enable it in the camera and I don’t know what cameras all support it
Great video Shane. I was wondering if "Active Stabilizaton" and "Gyro Stabilization" are still available if shooting in ProRes 422? I don't think they are in ProRes RAW. Thanks!

Awesome Content Brother. I do have a question ? What kind of Cold Shoe adapted did you use to get the Rode Wireless Go to front face.
Thank you very much! I think they discontinued the original part that I had but they replaced it with the: SmallRig Cold Shoe Mount BUC2736
It looks to just be an improved design on the one I had anyways
@@ShaneBethlehem thanks a million Shane
Do you find you rarely need to use the sunhood? I was debating whether to get the Ninja V cage or not as it adds weight and cost.
I don't think it's absolutely necessary in 90% of the situations, but when it is a full sunny day or for instance if there's snow on the ground and is very bright out it's hard to use the monitor. I think just because of how expensive it is it's worthwhile just to not buy it at first and see what you think and then decide from there, it's not critical to have when you buy it at first

Will it work with A6500
yep I use it for client work with an A6500 as my main camera and it looks fantastic. I highly recommend it for that camera
@@HezJP I'll plan to get within the next month or so
Hey sorry for the slow reply, I use it with the a6600 without issue. I find shooting with the larger display to be a game changer for the smallee cameras
@@ShaneBethlehem don't forget this gets around the screen dimming and overheating issues on the a6500 ;)
Oh to true, I forgot about those particular issues 😅
Ninja v vs shinobi?
I touch on the topic at 14:00 briefly.
I have not experience using the shinobi on an actual shoot, just holding a friends, it seems great but I can't say much more than that
Great video!!! Thank you!
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!
Omg thank you!!
Np, thank you for watching!
