    For cameras that shoot raw but disable backup recording, could you loop this to your atomos and record a backup of the raw recording? So raw HDMI into the Atomos and then hdmi viewing out of the atomos into this recorder to get a backup at 30 fps in 1080?

    A little over a year ago, i asked around in some camera groups asking for something similar to this, small screen just for the assist features. I got flamed all over, some say why when its so small when you can’t even see the details well? some even question if my enquiry was a joke, and told me to take the 5” bad boys and just shut up.
    Finally, my question is answered and i glad it was Caleb who did so, this is going to help me actively try to create as everything can be tucked into a small bag, i can run and gun while taking less time to dial my exposures and be confident it’s right, and most of all i am happy and relived to feel i’m not insane to want a small monitor, thanks a lot brother.

    Hi Caleb, thank you for another informative video! I just want to confirm: If I want to record in camera 4k and use the monitor to record as a back up (I know it will be 1080p) will that be possible? you did that in your video but you also said you have to feed it a 1080p signal.
    I do a lot of one time interviews and worry if the camera fails and want a recorder as a back up to still get the information. Thank again, Jesse

  • @kojpetersson
    @kojpetersson Рік тому

    I really like this tiny footprint BUT is it possible you can point me to what external camera displays that can give a crop fram/aspect ratio of a vertical 9x16 so that I can see the full horisontal frame but also has a frame on the display for a vertical (phone) format so when shooting I can get content that I can use for both horisontal and vertical use. Of course I am thinking of shooting the full vertical format and crop in post. But I would love to be able to have a good idea of where in the frame the centre of the 9x16 frame would be so I can try to have a nice composition for both vertical and horisontal 16x9/9x16. I hope I am making some sense in my question but I think for example the Black magic can do this but I can not get it on my R5 so I was hoping that theres a few external monitors that would allow it?

    Unless the tiny size is necessary, I would recommend picking up a used blackmagic video assist 5 (first model, not the 3G). I got one for only $100. It’s small, though a bit fat, and it gives a lot more recording options and also has false color.

    Another interesting option, if you can find it, is the old Atomos Ninja Star. Just a recorder without a monitor, but very small and runs forever off of a single NPF550. Records 1080p 24p or 30p in Prores 422 HQ, with my Nikon Z6 I can send an oversampled 1080p image to it to get 10 bit NLOG while keeping the setup compact.
