This is one of the crappest product from Atomos. no Brainer why do we need the shoot Prores on mobile? 300 dollars you can get the 5 in Atomos Ninja 5 you can record even RAW on external Hard drive. why the hell we save that footage on our mobile and when its full we have to download the footage on computer and clean and then back.
Not only is the phone doing the heavy lifting, it's also the screen! An Atomos Shinobi is cheaper and that comes with a screen. This should be half the price, at least! Disgusting that they also advertise all the iPhone specs for the product as well. Half the product page is just the iPhone!
Well SeeMo does not support ProRes nor H265, nor 10 Bit when I understand their specs right. So the ATOMOS product would be my choice and the price would be ok... if 4K would be possible. People that are fine with 2K recording do not need a pro camera and no external recorder. I really wonder what ATOMOS people are thinking who would be interested in something like this.
But if the point of this is to upload proxies for offline editing, why do you NEED prores, or h.265 10bit? If I can get some good enough quality files to my editor while I shoot, for 1/2 the price. My ninja sits on the shelf because I need to pay for the Atomos cloud service to upload to frameio
Interesting, but the Monitor+ app seems to be sufficient. I only need a USB-C cable to connect the camera to the phone and a magnetic holder with a hot shoe to mount on the camera. In total, I spent less than €40 (app + 30cm USB-C cable + Magnetic mount)
So you have to buy a unit for your particular phone? And if you change phones and the new one doesn’t fit, you’re out of luck? And what about storage? Even the latest iPhone Pro Max won’t record ProRes 60 internally. I don’t see any benefit of using your phone over just buying a ninja V. So many unanswered questions here.
Love the idea but it’s absurd that the video resolution (according to your website) is only 1080p. It’s 2024 and cameras are shooting 6k, 8k, and even 12k (even if no one is delivering in those resolutions). To not be at least 4K is ridiculous…
Also pretty shameful that all your advertising seems to try to hide this until you get into the complete spec list. Most of it just says “ProRes 10-bit”. 🤦🏻♂️
400 USD to solve problem that never exist. Also additional 60 USD for the case. This year iPhone 16 will have different design, then what? Pay more for case that may or may not exist. Reviews from other site that keep saying "....but there's a catch", yes you Newsshooter
$400 + $60 case for a glorified FHD 10-bit capture card and NPF USB hub? Classic Atomos. These recording specs are nearly the same (except 1080p60) as a Ninja 2 from literally 12 years ago that you can get for under $200 to record to an SSD directly. Use the passthru to a cheap UVC USBC adapter if you need the brightness of your phone. Or if you need to stream/record 4K, use a Camlink 4K or a Z Cam Ipman Gemini for $60 to get 8bit 4K in the same form factor. I don't know of any RTMPS/HLS livestreaming mobile apps that can handle a 10bit pipeline but maybe the Ninja App will add that.
I'm experiencing heavy lag with the iPhone as a monitor. What's the latency here? Nice to have but possibly terrible for any fast paced monitoring scenarios.
Unlikely. Uncompressed FHD video takes up a big chunk of a USB3 bandwidth, so I can't imagine adding a stream to the storage device would work. If it could record to an SSD, it would probably have the capability to run standalone without the phone, essentially a Ninja 2 without a screen.
Lol I like the way you conveniently forgot to mention it’s max 1080p ProRes in the video 😂 People are obviously going to find out, so why leave that out? Is it because it effectively makes this a gimmick?
well since accsoon already developed the translation layer, i guess you could say the best innovation here is a locking hdmi. btw, android can do this for about $15 but that's an apple problem.

Is anyone else having issues with the download not being accessible? I received the unit yesterday but the download page does not have the link to make my iPhone or my iPad open as a monitor.
Yea, I’m having connection troubles too. 😅, I want to love this thing. I downloaded several Atomos App. Subscribe to their cloud, frameiO, and tried to use the device with a Sigma FP, Fuji 100S and even a BMPCC 6K G2.. I noticed at Bhphoto website, the ninja phone is “ currently unavailable “. In one video , which was at NAB 2024. You can see they are using the Atomos Cloud Studio app. That doesn’t exist now. I’ll give it a few days, if not I’ll buy the Ninja V. This thing could be awesome, but not sure what gives.
can you guys leave an opening on the back for the camera iphone? so we can easily switch to iphone shooting. or even just be recording video at the same time?
Hello @Austen_Tv, Thanks for the comment! Thank you for your suggestion, Austen. We appreciate your feedback about leaving an opening on the back for the iPhone camera to enable easy switching or simultaneous recording. We'll forward this idea to our development team for consideration. If you have any other suggestions or questions, please feel free to share them with us. ATOMOS
If I wanted to shoot 1080p RAW I would just use my Canon 5d3 with Magic Lantern with great results. No contraptions needed. Sorry, no 4k is a deal breaker.
As silly as it might look, it is a pro solution to something we are jerry rigging. Can it record on the iPhone directly? that would be sweet for social media snap reels. It would also be sweet if it could at the same time record from the iPhone to the ssd
This product would be awesome and I would buy it for sure.... but only if 4K would be possible. Like that it is useless. Of course I do not need 4K in my final works, but I need 4K as a working base to be able to digitally zoom in post. 400 € just for a better monitor... well so sad.
Wait let me get this straight, other than 400 for the unit 60 for a case, and getting a spare iphone 15 pro max around 1500 usd (theres no way i just let go of having my personal communication device being non accessible during any type of shoot), so more than 2000 dollars and you cant even record in 4k?!
That's where you get a spare phone for this. Who uses their personal phone for work? I don't know anyone who's anyone who doesn't have a minimum of two phones.
I love this idea but I think it's way too expensive for what it's trying to replace. I would consider using a phone as a monitor as as a way to save money, not to spend more
Ok so stream with this if it's a must... But am I going to be the one to say why didn't this come out for Android when we've had the USBC FOR YEARS!!!!
What about it using other type of batteries? (Sony Z, W or AA). Think many people who use their phone, does not want to buy NPF batteries just for a monitor

$399 is a bit steep. Was hoping for something cheaper since the phone is doing the heavy lifting.
It’s a joke. They need to justify their hike in Ninja pricing, and leverage anything they can due to ProRes internal becoming the norm
Agreed, the phone is doing the work.

No 4K, very expensive and whilst clever, it’s already outdated in terms of resolution. What an own goal.

Just one question:
Is there any internal fan in this Ninja device to cool down the damn hot iPhone?To prevent the phone screen From dimming hell?
Fans otuside the chasis, unless it blows cold wind, do NOTHING, anyway it comes with a pan for frying eggs :_)

I gave up on 1080p in 2017 my G, which is still late. its good to move forward guys.
What happens when they update the phone size and/or add buttons, as rumored for this fall.
Wonder if this could be used just as a viewer for my Sigma FP without attaching a battery to the NP but instead USB-C power from camera or V-Power.
is Atomos planning to make a new phone for each iPhone Pro that gets released?

Accsoon seemo has been out a year and can do more and is much cheaper.. this cost just as a basic monitor
Accsoon also has the Seemo 4K announced this past week at NAB.
Not prores raw? So... the same!
Ninja-phone? More like taekwondo-yellow-belt phone..
Android (S23 Ultra) version or compatibility? 🤩
Limited to 1080p. Think I’ll pass
I will buy this in a heartbeat if it can record to external ssd like T7. Unfortunately that doesn’t seem to be the case.
Uh oh..also only 1080p. Good start but not for me. Let’s see how BlackMagic responds. They dropped prices on the Assist by $200.
If I wanted to shoot 1080p RAW I would just use my Canon 5d3 with Magic Lantern with great results. No contraptions needed. Sorry, no 4k is a deal breaker.
1080 bro why
As silly as it might look, it is a pro solution to something we are jerry rigging. Can it record on the iPhone directly? that would be sweet for social media snap reels. It would also be sweet if it could at the same time record from the iPhone to the ssd
wait.. so I will be able to record PRORES RAW with my Sony ZV-E1 NOW????
EDIT: Nevermind.. No 4k & price of 399.. lol
Can’t we just record straight to phone? I bought 512 gigs version and I think I can lay off fairly easy - I have don’t it yet though.
Can't believe it 🤯

Basicly an overpriced phone charger that coverts hdmi to iPhone's port while not supporting old devices.
Point of failure. One odd phone update that doesn’t jive with this system will make it useless for a few days.
If that case is needed and actually separate that it the dumbest thing i’ve ever heard
paying 399 for a phone case that uses my phone hardware seems wild lol
The only thing interesting here is the locking HDMI.
if its going to record to and external ssd it might be worth it, but proves directly to the iPhone doesn't sound good to me.

Give me one for M2 iPad Pro with 6K raw and external SSD
Did you just put that on the potato?
Wow, not what I was expecting. Excited to hear more
gets hot in 20 seconds lol

Baddazz🎉
At this price point you have better options.
a used ninja v seems to be a better deal. not sure who exacly is this for.. a streamer on a budget won't have that money
