UPDATES SINCE RECORDING THIS VIDEO • Canon Log now includes options for C-Log 3 on both the R5 and R6. Avoid using C-Log 3 / Cinema Gamut with the Ninja V. Read more: bit.ly/3BlAewu • v130 firmware changed the name of "Overheat Control" to "Standby: Low res." (Shoot Menu 8). • Another good HDMI cable option is the Zilr Micro. Short length, HDMI 2 10-bit support. Check current price: geni.us/rPX1a9
I tried this setup yesterday and while recording my Atomos ninja would just just down and I'd have to click the shutter button to reactivate it. It actually disrupted the clips I was shooting. Curious if you have had this issue and what the fix is?
@@alexshotthese Camera Screen + EVF Out Turn off is ok to be set to some secs, BUT: There is a function that the R5 turns off after X minutes, deactivate that.
Todd, in my humble opinion this is the very best video i've seen discussing the topic of the Canon R5 setup to the Ninja V and the tips you provided are gold. You get to the point quickly and you express your opinions exceptionally well. You have a new subscriber, much success.
Great video and explanation. I found this really helpful with my R5 and new Ninja V. This worked well for me until it stopped. I haven't completely finished troubleshooting the issues, but the Ninja stopped recording 4K U footage beyond short clips. Looking at the Atomos website I discovered that the WD Blue drives are listed as untested/failed. I returned them and bought instead comparable priced Samsung 870 EVO SATA III SSDs and so far they are recording longer clips, though I need to discover what is happening with the Ninja menu not appearing anymore as it did before. Thanks again.
Thank you so much, I have the Canon R6 with the FEELWORLD F5 Pro V4 6 Inch Touch Screen monitor. I did not know how to set up the camera so that both the monitor and the camera screen were visible. Your video walked me through step by step! 8.27.2024
Excellent video, Todd. Very educational and great production quality. I was just about to make my own video because I encountered some tricky situations on real shoots with the R6 and the Ninja V and wanted others to be able to avoid the same mistakes I made. However, you beat me to it! Having said that, there are some things that I would add: 1. The HDMI cable that you recommended is being recognized as HDMI 1.4 on the Ninja, not HDMI 2 (see the Ninja V screen at 3:52). If this is accurate, then the cable may not truly be HDMI 2 amd therefore not able to record 4k60. I recommend the official cable from Atomos, but it is pricey. 2. You don't mention anything about audio settings. If you don't select the correct input source on the Ninja, you can end up without audio! I found that out the hard way. 3. People should be aware that visual aids like zebras and peaking on the camera will be BAKED INTO YOUR FOOTAGE when shooting with the Ninja, so if those are important, they have to be turned off on the camera and enabled on the Ninja instead. I also found that out the hard way.
Damn! Never noticed 1.4 on the display. The cable claims to be HDMI 2.0, but my Ninja is apparently not seeing it that way. Thanks for pointing that out. Also thanks for the tips regarding audio and zebras/peaking. I once made the same mistake with the latter.
Great video Todd! Very helpful! Had a question for yourself or anyone reading. I am having issues with recording past 1 minute - I think my canon R6 is turning off or viewfinder is turning off which leads to the Ninja V saying no input after 1 minute of recording. I have eco mode turned off, i am wondering if there’s something i have missed?
@@ezymarquez5521 Hey Ezekiel, this also happened to me, but I believe that if you upgrade to firmware 1.4 it's no longer an issue. There's also a power saving mode that you can turn off (in addition to eco mode).
I have watched many many many R5 Ninja V videos and this one was Perfect! Included alllllll the necessary specifics in a short video. Excellent job, thats a sub.
Thank you Todd. Excellent video. This was all I needed to setup my Ninja with my R6. The HDMI cable did not work though. I kept losing connection constantly. Saw this on reviews on Amazon after I made the purchase…. Duh!! Tried the Smallrig cable and that worked out fine. Thank you again!
Great video for the R5, however, I just bought the R5C/Ninja V. Im a novice in the video game. Major issues trying to get them to connect and work. Would greatly appreciate any crumbs you could throw my way. Headed to UK in 3 weeks with my new rig, Hope to film the airshow/RIAT at RAF Fairford. Thanks a million!
Very informative video, I have the R6, at first I could not find HDMI display under the shoot menu page 8 only to find you need to turn your top dial to movie mode to see the menu functions for video😂. Was happy to have both screens functional, especially for tap focussing on the back of the R6. The only negative is that you can’t record to your SD cards on your R6. You can only record to an attached SSD drive on your Atomos. Is this the same for the R5😢
Such a useful guide! Between this and your newer one, I’m all set up! I did notice one other setting I had to change. On the same tab as Eco Mode, I had to go into the Power Saving section and disable Auto Power Off. I just bought an Atomos Ninja V+ (first monitor), and when this isn’t disabled, the recording just stops when the auto power off happens!
Todd that was just the video I was looking for! The LUT link seems to be broken and for whatever reason Canon has made it impossible to fine their LUTs anywhere on the WWW
Tips: 1. Experiment sharpening in camera (under canon log/ characteristics, recommended 3) 2. Buy a Cage (I also have the small rig he cites, its godsent. 3. Buy power adaptors for Ninja and R5 4. Import your LUT on Ninja
Great video! Thanks! I wonder now after watching this if the option for me would be to buy the R5 with the Atomos Ninja V or just go with the Canon R5C. I currently own the Canon R6 and it starts to send the overheating warning after 20 minutes or so, with I find so annoying. I really love this camera, but recording interviews with it, is so frustrating. Maybe I can buy the Atomos NV for my R6 and solve my overheating problem, as well as the limited recording time.
Love your videos but wondering if you’ve picked up the r5c. Would love a video like this for setup of the ninja v plus with the r5c. I don’t think it’s very different but I decided to get the r5c just because I am slowly venturing from photography to videography and am still new to the cinema menu as well as working on my technical knowledge for videography. Im enjoying the r5c for photos but the ninja + r5c is still kicking my butt on what settings I should be using
Hi, great video, but the video is not showing on the Ninja V , do you know why this would be. I have followed all the steps and got the cables you recommended. is there any reason this would happen?
This video is fantastic, thank you so much! One question; the link you gave for the Canon Rec 709 LUT goes to the general download page for the R5. I don't see a download for the 709 LUT anywhere there. There's one "look up table" I see, but the description says "Gamma Transfer 1D LUT and Gamut / Gamma Transfer 3D LUT", nothing about 709
Hi Todd - great video. Thanks. A question about using with R6 - given that the R6's screen is off during record to Ninja V, how do you use auto-focus (incl. eye detect) when recording on the Ninja? I haven't seen anyone talk about this. Thanks so much.
I have followed this video to the t. Unfortunately had to throw away the footage from yesterdays shoot because the eye detection shows up in my recorded footage. Didn't realise it did until I imported it to my Computer. I don't understand why nobody talks about this?
@@dansstudiox-dance9455 That's crazy. I agree - how is it that nobody discusses this? I read somewhere that tapping the setup button turns off the eye detection square but I don't know if this is true. Presumably whatever you see from the camera is recorded to the Ninja. Add - I just noticed that by default, tapping the setup turns off eye detect (or face detect - not sure) so that may not be a solution.
@@TheRealBarkinMadd @TheRealBarkinMadd I found out the solution by rewatching the video. It has to do with the HDMI display option to turn on or off the display of the camera. When you turn it off all visual information will be forwarded over HDMI (I'm assuming) and there lies the problem. Unfortunately it isn't mentioned anywhere so that's a mistake from my part. So now you (and I) know... You have no choice if recording externally.
@@dansstudiox-dance9455 I have the Ninja V now and what I have found is that the screen on the camera remains active during external recording with the R6, however the menus go to the Ninja. Interestingly, the Q-menu does not go to the Ninja so you can use the R6 touch screen for that. During external recording you can use the the R6 touch screen for selecting object tracking.
Thank you for the great videos on R5 + Atomos V pairing. I got the WD drives which worked perfectly for about the first 18 videos and now I get a consistent kangaroo symbol which interrupts the recording. Has anyone else got similar results?
Hello, I love your videos, very clear ! I have a trouble with my r5 and my atomos ninja v+: zebras appear way larger on my ninja v+ than on the screen of the r5. The ninja looks more contrast, brighter and yellow than the screen of the r5. But it s specially rhe zebra issue that bothers me a lot ! Sorry for my english, hi from Paris !
Great video, appreciate the knowlegde. I am shooting the EOS R6 and was wondering in I can configure the Atomos to capture the video in ALL-I instead of the IPB options that the R6 only shows? I shoot surfing videos and primary use the footage for frame grabs, so I want the best quality frame grab where erratic motion is filmed. Thanks in advance.
Hello @Toddy Dominey thank you so much for your tutorials videography and photography on different subjects. Are you able to help with a video on how to set up Nikon Z6 and Atomos Ninja V then matching this to Canon EOS C 300 for a better result. Thank you for your help.
Hey Tom, thank you so much for making this video! One question though: In the RECORD tab you have HDMI STANDARD set to 1.4 and I was wondering whether I should be using HDMI 2.0 OR Compatibility mode (requires you to unplug the HDMI cable and back in again). It seems like most HDMI cords are 2.0 or higher nowadays, so are you just using an older HDMI cable or er...does this not matter or something?
Very well done. I'll give these settings a try. Note your links dont seem to be working for me as I would have loved to make the purchase via them so you can get some referral love.
Hey Todd. How can I still use the record button on my camera still with the monitor? When I have it connected now the record button on my camera does nothing. Thanks!
nice tuto. i am new in video with a z6ii and just purchased a ninja v with a atomos 500GB mini ssd (cute with respect to wd blue huge caddy) and a docking station atomx. how do we update the firmware under win10 ? i don't understand very well when we HOT plug ssd,... z6ii tutos and how to focus in af-f and manual are welcome :-) can you explain what we do with footage (ie: 4K 25fps) ? import with docking station and open in adobe premiere ?
Great video. Now I am ready to get a Ninja for my R5. Pl. review Ninja V+ for R5 when possible. I read that it adds 4K 120 and 8 K 30 options. Thank you 👍🏻
Hello sir I did the same setting every mode on R5 work on ninja display but only video display is not showing. What do you think about it what could be the problem?
Hey there! thanks so much for the video! Can I kindly ask you to clarify one thing for me? My canon R6 shut off during the recording of an interview. And this is quite frustrating as I bought Ninja V to be able to avoid overheating in the 1st place. I also tried to take out SDs , didn't help with overheating issues. Any ideas on that? Thanks 🙏🏼
Is there a reason why you also don’t just toggle on the LOG/HDR switch on n ninja and use canon C log as gamma? It says to match your cameras output so if your in C LOG in camera should that be toggled on?
I’m getting ready to invest a ton of money and I have a question please. I was going to get an R5 but because of over heating I am worried about shut down. I have seen great reviews on the R6 and it’s cheaper than the R5 so I would really like to purchase except I have read it likes to shutdown because of overheating as well. If I bought the Ninja and recorded to it instead of recording internally to the R5 does that solve the issues of over heating? Thanks so much for any help!
Hey nice but when i have dual screens on then i cannot record to the sd cards in camera? I need to see the camera screen to focus at the same time. If i have single screen on then the camera screen goes black and i cannot focus?
Followed your steps exactly - I’m shooting on the R6. My ninja v is showing the kangaroo when recording at 4k 23.98 What’s going on? I even bought the cord you recommended
I get the same thing except I am not using the same HDMI cable he recommends. My Ninja V + R6 connection goes in and out intermittently and the kangaroo appears. I just purchased the cord he recommends on Amazon hoping it would solve my problem.
Thanks for the video! Just a quick question... when I change my video settings to 50fps (I'm based in the UK) The NinjaV monitor says "no input". I'm shooting on the R6. How do I fix this?
Todd, please... I am having a problem but not sure if it is an actual problem. I have a Canon R6 NOT Mark ii, but the original. I can record in ProRes but not ProRes RAW. I don't know if I am doing something wrong or it is just not possible. The way you described it here for the R5 does not seem to be the same in the original R6. Thank you.
Todd, Thanks for the vid. This helped me and I am sure a ton of other people who were concerned with overheating and recording limits. Do you have any issues with the micro-hdmi and is there an attachment that you know of that converts it to full hdmi? That I think is the last barrier holding me back from purchasing an R5. Almost every micro hdmi product i have ever owned has had port insertion issues.
Question, I bought Atomos Ninja 5 for my canon R5, I only bought to have as a secondary monitor not for any video use. When I plug input into my camera and the Atomos, my screen on my camera goes away, is there any way to have both on at the same time while I'm using screen to take photos. Are there any setting I'm missing?
What does the Log/HDR Button do iu the Output Menu? Gamma and Gamut should be on CLog and Canon Cinema Gamut, no? I want to record CLog to the Ninja and was wondering if the Ninja converts it to rec709 without the toggle being on
I'm looking to buy one of these for my R5 and would love some advice: 1 does the Ninja screen allow for touch to focus? 2 if no to above, does the camera LCD stay on simultaneously so I can use touch to focus? 3 if no to #2, how do you go about directing focus when it goes wayward as it inevitably does? 4 does the camera record to both the Ninja and the internal card at the same time so you are getting a redundancy/backup? These are some deal breaker questions for me before I purchase. Thanks in advance
1. No 2.yes 3-- 4. It only records to the ninja. Not the sad card simultaneously. I purchased it and it makes a huge difference for my EOSR and I’m getting the R5 soon. Hope this helps it’s a fantastic setup that you will not regret
@@jordanbeckfilms hey I have a question. When using manual focus on the R (or R5 if you have it now) does the focus guide square appear on the Ninja V screen or just on the camera screen? I rely on the focus assist guide when shooting on my R and R6
Hi! I am still learning how to set up my Atomos Ninja V with my R6, but, how can I record audio? Could that be possible? The initial tests I did, record only video with no sound from the camera. Also, what is the difference between ProRes and ProRes Raw in terms of quality? thanks
Great video thank you. Can you suggest a variable ND for the Canon F2 28-70? Can't find one since the 95mm thread is 1mm pitch and not 0,75mm as normal filter threads. Thanks!
I have a question. When using manual focus on the R6 or R5 does the focus guide square appear on the Ninja V screen or just on the camera screen? I rely on the focus assist guide when shooting on my R and R6
That's only on the camera LCD. HOWEVER, the Ninja V has focus peaking you can turn on (and different modes of peaking too). One mode turns the image black and white and highlights focus areas in red. I love using that when looking at the Ninja from a distance and need to move something in the shot to be in focus.
Hi complete newbie and want to capture and edit ProRes 422 LT. if I use a R6mkII using a Ninja can I capture in ProRes 422 LT like you showed 4:24? Does this apply to R6II? Also is editing in clog .265 bad quality or bogs a mbp M1 Max down? If you apply the lut in the ninja will it be baked into the footage? Thank you
Hello Todd. Thanks for the video. Great information. Would you recommend the same coiled cable when using a Ronin RS2 and the R5? Or would that mess up the balance on the Ronin?
Just sub'd. I shoot the R6 full time professionally 5 days a week and leaning towards the Ninja V and not because of overheating or the 30min limit of recording. I'm looking for a quicker and easier codec to work with when editing and the 4k 60fps IPB is not that efficient even when working with a RTX 2080 GPU.
@@vamsiclicks3948 I did get it and have had no problems with 4k 60fps. I did spend the extra $99 and bought the h265 codec firmware upgrade for when I do want to shoot a smaller codec on it, which I do most of the time for size sake. I will tell you I shoot mostly internal on the R6 since it has dual card back up and atomos doesn't. I have events coming up where the atomos will most likely be the better route. If I can find a way to record on the R6 and the atomos I would. Otherwise I may have to go cinema camera down the line.
@@JaredHoyman Thanks for the info. I really don't need an external screen as I do most of my video work on gimbal and I want it to be light. The only reason I am looking at Atomos is that I can record in ProRes format so that my editing in Mac will be flawless and quick. Did you find much difference when compared to recording directly to R6 vs Atomos?
I had to re-acquaint myself again with these settings since I haven't used my Ninja in quite awhile and ended up getting the V+ . It's great that I can just use your video as my library reference ;) I totally appreciate it! I'll be doing a tutorial and review in January with the Ninja V+ in 6k Raw with the R6 II. You don't need a a ninja V till you need a ninja v ;) Keep up the excellent work my friend!
I have a Canon R6 and purchased the Ninja V based primarily on your video, especially the opening message in your video and in your UA-cam description about no overheating. I've followed all of your recommended settings precisely, plus bought all the accessories you recommended, but can only record 10 mins, 12 sec. of 4k @ 23.98p before the Ninja V overheats and disconnects from my R6. Atomos customer service has poorly responded at this point, but hopefully they will. In the interim, i'm curious as to what you based your statement on that the R6 could record 4k externally to the Ninja V "without time limits or overheating?"
UPDATES SINCE RECORDING THIS VIDEO
• Canon Log now includes options for C-Log 3 on both the R5 and R6. Avoid using C-Log 3 / Cinema Gamut with the Ninja V.

Hello @Toddy Dominey thank you so much for your tutorials videography and photography on different subjects. Are you able to help with a video on how to set up Nikon Z6 and Atomos Ninja V then matching this to Canon EOS C 300 for a better result. Thank you for your help.
3:50 this helped me. I kept trying to tap the bottom right gear icon with no success ha
Is it safe to use a monitor instead of the camera to record? I have never used an external recorder before.
Hey Tom, thank you so much for making this video! One question though: In the RECORD tab you have HDMI STANDARD set to 1.4 and I was wondering whether I should be using HDMI 2.0 OR Compatibility mode (requires you to unplug the HDMI cable and back in again). It seems like most HDMI cords are 2.0 or higher nowadays, so are you just using an older HDMI cable or er...does this not matter or something?
Super video thank you very much!
So clearly explained!
Very well done. I'll give these settings a try. Note your links dont seem to be working for me as I would have loved to make the purchase via them so you can get some referral love.
So you don’t need a CF express with this correct. Also how would you attach a rode mic and the ninja V
amazing content. subscribed!
Superb tutorial 😍
Great video. Congratulations!
so question. since its now recording externally in pro res, does that mean we use a different conversion lut than canon clog 3?
Does AF and IBIS work as well when using the external recorder?
Hey Todd. How can I still use the record button on my camera still with the monitor? When I have it connected now the record button on my camera does nothing. Thanks!
nice tuto. i am new in video with a z6ii and just purchased a ninja v with a atomos 500GB mini ssd (cute with respect to wd blue huge caddy) and a docking station atomx. how do we update the firmware under win10 ? i don't understand very well when we HOT plug ssd,... z6ii tutos and how to focus in af-f and manual are welcome :-) can you explain what we do with footage (ie: 4K 25fps) ? import with docking station and open in adobe premiere ?
Great video. Now I am ready to get a Ninja for my R5. Pl. review Ninja V+ for R5 when possible. I read that it adds 4K 120 and 8 K 30 options. Thank you 👍🏻
Hi ! I see only HD in input. Is it because of the cable? I'm using a 2.0 though
can you use Auto focus on the Monitor by just touching the Monitor like you do with the screen on the camera?
Hello sir I did the same setting every mode on R5 work on ninja display but only video display is not showing. What do you think about it what could be the problem?
I was thinking about getting an R5 I already have a Ninja V. Do you think that's good enough or would it be better to save up for a R5C?
Can I do this to the R6 Mark II ? Since there’s no video about the Mark II Thanks in advance
Tom, I don’t get overheat control on my R5, did they replace it with something else after the last update?
They changed its name in the last firmware update to "Standby Lo Res". Guess they didn't want draw additional attention to the word "overheat". ;)
Hey there! thanks so much for the video! Can I kindly ask you to clarify one thing for me? My canon R6 shut off during the recording of an interview. And this is quite frustrating as I bought Ninja V to be able to avoid overheating in the 1st place. I also tried to take out SDs , didn't help with overheating issues. Any ideas on that?
Thanks 🙏🏼
is there any solution for the colous cast problem already?
Is there a reason why you also don’t just toggle on the LOG/HDR switch on n ninja and use canon C log as gamma? It says to match your cameras output so if your in C LOG in camera should that be toggled on?
I’m getting ready to invest a ton of money and I have a question please. I was going to get an R5 but because of over heating I am worried about shut down. I have seen great reviews on the R6 and it’s cheaper than the R5 so I would really like to purchase except I have read it likes to shutdown because of overheating as well.
If I bought the Ninja and recorded to it instead of recording internally to the R5 does that solve the issues of over heating? Thanks so much for any help!
Check out Deaf Director channel for unlimited recording.
I used the Ninja + R5 in Palmdale a few weeks ago. 105 and 107 that weekend. Zero overheating issues while shooting 60p.
Great Vlog, thanks for sharing this detail
Hey nice but when i have dual screens on then i cannot record to the sd cards in camera? I need to see the camera screen to focus at the same time. If i have single screen on then the camera screen goes black and i cannot focus?
Followed your steps exactly - I’m shooting on the R6. My ninja v is showing the kangaroo when recording at 4k 23.98
What’s going on? I even bought the cord you recommended
I get the same thing except I am not using the same HDMI cable he recommends. My Ninja V + R6 connection goes in and out intermittently and the kangaroo appears. I just purchased the cord he recommends on Amazon hoping it would solve my problem.
Thanks for the video! Just a quick question... when I change my video settings to 50fps (I'm based in the UK) The NinjaV monitor says "no input". I'm shooting on the R6. How do I fix this?
Todd, please... I am having a problem but not sure if it is an actual problem. I have a Canon R6 NOT Mark ii, but the original. I can record in ProRes but not ProRes RAW. I don't know if I am doing something wrong or it is just not possible. The way you described it here for the R5 does not seem to be the same in the original R6. Thank you.
Todd,
Thanks for the vid. This helped me and I am sure a ton of other people who were concerned with overheating and recording limits.
Do you have any issues with the micro-hdmi and is there an attachment that you know of that converts it to full hdmi? That I think is the last barrier holding me back from purchasing an R5. Almost every micro hdmi product i have ever owned has had port insertion issues.
Question, I bought Atomos Ninja 5 for my canon R5, I only bought to have as a secondary monitor not for any video use. When I plug input into my camera and the Atomos, my screen on my camera goes away, is there any way to have both on at the same time while I'm using screen to take photos. Are there any setting I'm missing?
I just got the ninja v. Is it normal to have a 4-5 second delay when switching from record mode to playback mode?
Hi
Thanks mr dominey
Can you record in 1080p for smaller file size? Need to record something in 1080p only
Awesome! Thanks! Subscribed!
What does the Log/HDR Button do iu the Output Menu? Gamma and Gamut should be on CLog and Canon Cinema Gamut, no? I want to record CLog to the Ninja and was wondering if the Ninja converts it to rec709 without the toggle being on
I'm looking to buy one of these for my R5 and would love some advice:
1 does the Ninja screen allow for touch to focus?
2 if no to above, does the camera LCD stay on simultaneously so I can use touch to focus?
3 if no to #2, how do you go about directing focus when it goes wayward as it inevitably does?
4 does the camera record to both the Ninja and the internal card at the same time so you are getting a redundancy/backup?
These are some deal breaker questions for me before I purchase.
Thanks in advance
1. No
2.yes
3--
4. It only records to the ninja. Not the sad card simultaneously.
I purchased it and it makes a huge difference for my EOSR and I’m getting the R5 soon.
Hope this helps it’s a fantastic setup that you will not regret
@@jordanbeckfilms hey I have a question. When using manual focus on the R (or R5 if you have it now) does the focus guide square appear on the Ninja V screen or just on the camera screen? I rely on the focus assist guide when shooting on my R and R6
@@AugmentedAndy I’m not too sure I use AF for everything really
Hi! I am still learning how to set up my Atomos Ninja V with my R6, but, how can I record audio? Could that be possible? The initial tests I did, record only video with no sound from the camera. Also, what is the difference between ProRes and ProRes Raw in terms of quality? thanks
Great video thank you. Can you suggest a variable ND for the Canon F2 28-70? Can't find one since the 95mm thread is 1mm pitch and not 0,75mm as normal filter threads. Thanks!
Thanks! Great Video!
I have a question. When using manual focus on the R6 or R5 does the focus guide square appear on the Ninja V screen or just on the camera screen? I rely on the focus assist guide when shooting on my R and R6
That's only on the camera LCD. HOWEVER, the Ninja V has focus peaking you can turn on (and different modes of peaking too). One mode turns the image black and white and highlights focus areas in red. I love using that when looking at the Ninja from a distance and need to move something in the shot to be in focus.
@@dominey appreciate the reply that does sound helpful especially on the larger screen of the ninja
Hi complete newbie and want to capture and edit ProRes 422 LT. if I use a R6mkII using a Ninja can I capture in ProRes 422 LT like you showed 4:24? Does this apply to R6II?
Also is editing in clog .265 bad quality or bogs a mbp M1 Max down? If you apply the lut in the ninja will it be baked into the footage?
Thank you
Hello Todd. Thanks for the video. Great information. Would you recommend the same coiled cable when using a Ronin RS2 and the R5? Or would that mess up the balance on the Ronin?
Just sub'd. I shoot the R6 full time professionally 5 days a week and leaning towards the Ninja V and not because of overheating or the 30min limit of recording. I'm looking for a quicker and easier codec to work with when editing and the 4k 60fps IPB is not that efficient even when working with a RTX 2080 GPU.
Did you get the Atmos and tried recording 4k 60fps? I heard there are issues with 60fps and doesn't work great with 4k 60fps. Can you please confirm?
@@vamsiclicks3948 I did get it and have had no problems with 4k 60fps. I did spend the extra $99 and bought the h265 codec firmware upgrade for when I do want to shoot a smaller codec on it, which I do most of the time for size sake. I will tell you I shoot mostly internal on the R6 since it has dual card back up and atomos doesn't. I have events coming up where the atomos will most likely be the better route. If I can find a way to record on the R6 and the atomos I would. Otherwise I may have to go cinema camera down the line.
@@JaredHoyman Thanks for the info. I really don't need an external screen as I do most of my video work on gimbal and I want it to be light. The only reason I am looking at Atomos is that I can record in ProRes format so that my editing in Mac will be flawless and quick. Did you find much difference when compared to recording directly to R6 vs Atomos?
@@vamsiclicks3948 yes, pro res does edit faster but once I moved to a rtx 3080 the gap was very small in editing.
I had to re-acquaint myself again with these settings since I haven't used my Ninja in quite awhile and ended up getting the V+ . It's great that I can just use your video as my library reference ;) I totally appreciate it! I'll be doing a tutorial and review in January with the Ninja V+ in 6k Raw with the R6 II. You don't need a a ninja V till you need a ninja v ;) Keep up the excellent work my friend!
Highly considering getting this for my R6! Does it help a bit with preventing overheating? Awesome video to use when I get my hands on one!
I have a Canon R6 and purchased the Ninja V based primarily on your video, especially the opening message in your video and in your UA-cam description about no overheating. I've followed all of your recommended settings precisely, plus bought all the accessories you recommended, but can only record 10 mins, 12 sec. of 4k @ 23.98p before the Ninja V overheats and disconnects from my R6. Atomos customer service has poorly responded at this point, but hopefully they will. In the interim, i'm curious as to what you based your statement on that the R6 could record 4k externally to the Ninja V "without time limits or overheating?"
Very helpful! Thanks!
Pleasure!
