Damn why does this channel only have 452 subs? You deserve millions of subs for the amazing quality of videos you produce. The information, the setting, the quality are all top notch. Keep going! You are doing amazing!
I very rarely comment on videos but had to tell you what a great job I think you’re doing. The attention to detail is obvious from the choice of music to the colour grading! Really great job.
I'm sure this review was filmed with ones tongue firmly inserted in ones cheek, but I would love to be served all my UA-cam reviews and tutorials in this much more sophisticated style. I am genuinely sick to death of millennial 'youtubers' trying to look cool. Big thumbs up. Actually bought an Atomos Ninja V just now off the back of it.
Thank you so much! I appreciate the feedback a lot. Excited to make more that really show what these tools we use are capable of in what I hope continues to be an entertaining and classy way. Thanks again and enjoy that Ninja!
You make me laugh. Your look is exquisite by the way. And I agree with others, the vibe makes for a relaxing viewing experience. Getting to the end wasn’t a chore, in fact, I wanted more. Good work!
Greetings! Please tell us the following situation: the latest firmware 10.63 All codecs and SDI are activated too (it is paid). I do not remember which firmware when I click on the record, it starts to write literally for 2-3 seconds and stops - I have to press it again so that the recording goes on for a long time.

@@MattJackson_UA-cam Not only with with ProRes, i mean recording 4K RAW(24-25-30-50-60 fps) with Ninja V and + Sony A7iv. do you recommend to record RAW with Ninja V + Sony A7iv? will be that much better quality than Sony A7iv SD card file?
@@Emperor-2029 RAW isn't neccesary in my opinion unless deliverables to client require it, a heavy color grade is a part of the piece, or if you're creating a feature-length film for cinemas. Otherwise, 4:2:2 is perfectly adequate.
Very useful video thankyou , as a sony A1 shooter I am looking at purchasing this bit of kit . I currently use a RODE external mic in the hotshoe of the camera when recording . If I buy the Ninga five would the rode mic go into the Ninja or still in the camera for best results ? secondly can you recommend any cold shoe adaptors to connect both the Ninja and the External Mic ?
I loved the way the video is planned and shot. Also, I saw the video with my laptop's reading/ night mode on. And it looked awesome with the reduced blue. Just like a wes anderson movie. I suggest you to see the video with your display's night/reading mode on and enjoy the visual treat.
I just got one for myself today. I connected it with Sony FX3 but it show "No Input". I've been using FX3 with a Monitor Switcher and it has been working well. No problem with the HDMI port on FX3. I also changed a different HDMI cable that work with anything else. However, the Ninja V still show "No Input". Any suggestions please?
Same issue here with my a7siii. Ninja will display for a while but will often reset to no input screen and than go back to working fine. I’m still trouble shooting but from my research I believe the best fix is to invest in the atomos hdmi. Again not sure but I purchased a bundle that came with a “zila 8k hdmi” cable and I suspect that to be the culprit. Also when switching to the red menu/record button the fan kicks in and screams hard for all of a few seconds. Although presumably normal I hear the units are very silent and I’m left raising my eyebrow- any ex w/ that?
Hey all! Yes, if you’re not using the Atomos 60fps HDMI or the Kondor Blue version, you may have issues to the Ninja. I’ve used generic HDMI before, though, and had no problems. I also got a connector clamp to use on both camera/cage and monitor as they slip out very easily. Also, being only familiar with the alpha cameras, on the new a7sIII I do keep it to “HDMI only” setting when recording to the Ninja, disabling its ability to record internally.
@@MattJackson_UA-cam Just to final confirm. Is it this one you're talking about "Atomos AtomFLEX HDMI (Type-A) Male to HDMI (Type-A) Male Coiled Cable (12 to 24″) 30CM - 60CM"
@@MattJackson_UA-cam It’s funny to me that we have to spend another $49 on an HDMI cable so that we can connect our product. But seem I have no choice so have to buy it anyway Lol Thank you very much for the reply! Love your style of video editing!
Very helpful video. I am planning to get the Ninja V, as far as SSD storage options, do you think the mini AngelBird is worth the premium price (vs a standard size SSD in the Caddy) ?
I honestly don’t. The AngelBird looks super cool, but in my experience you can get more storage for less money with a traditional SSD. Plus, I’ve never had a single issue with the Samsung EVOs that I use.
Nice work! Great colors in the video. Does the difference between a 2, 3, or 4 frame delay for audio make a big difference with the sony alpha cameras? We’re expecting our atomos coming in soon.
@@MattJackson_UA-cam No problem, thanks for getting back Matt. With the new update, are you using the auto-calibration feature on the Atomos Ninja to calculate the frame delay? When I tried the feature, it recommended a 9 frame delay which seems quite a jump from the 2-3 frame delay recommended by different shooters.
Dude thank you for this video. It's well made and information is laid out clearly. How do you not have a million subs?!?! I run the Sony A7S3 right now. Getting two of the new CF type a cards is like 800 bucks it's literally a better value to just get this in a two terabyte hard drive
Awesome video last week I was using my Ninja V with my Sony A7IV after looking at the video the footage burned what the Sony A7IV setting showed , how can I avoid this from happening again?
Great video, a lot of style!! I just purchased the Ninja V and I'm using it with my Sony A7Siii. I'm unable to play back any footage I've shot with the Sony on the Ninja V unless I disconnect the HDMI cable... then I can play back footage only on the camera. Have you encountered this too? I'm wondering if I've missed a setting somehow.
@@MattJackson_UA-cam The LCD screen on the Sony goes black the middle I press the play button, and the Ninja V returns to its splash screen. There has to be a setting of some kind I've overlooked...
Right now the A7S III with Atomos Ninja V used are WAY cheaper than the FX3. Good luck finding a cheap FX3 or FX30. B&H Photo is your best bet. We need more cameras like the Sigma FP that can record directly to USB drives. The big brands like Sony are trying to protect their cinema camera lines.when they should be pivoting their business to what customers need, not protecting a dying line of overpriced cinema cameras. Sometimes you have to stop trying to maximize profits to be competitive.
I’m just curious can you run a 25-30ft hdmi cable? From the camera to the ninja? I do car footage and have a car rig, usually the camera is mounted around 15 feet away but I end up using 20-30feet of cable in order to reach my regular monitor to the cab without too much stress, but I’m curious to know if this would work using it on the ninja.. the recording feature to the monitor is what is really interesting to me. And could be very very Beneficial
Great video. Would you be able to explain a little bit about the fan noise and how it is impacting the audio recorded via HDMI in? And how it can be fixed?
Thanks! The fan comes on during recording, but the most recent firmware update has reduced the amount of noise and it’s not at all noticeable, even with my VideoMic Pro mounted on the camera.
Other than being limited to internal recording, you can record to it at 60fps but the bitrate makes the footage rough to work with - my workaround when I need something slightly slo-mo is to shoot at 30fps. My needs don't require 120 fps that often.
Hi Matt, 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. Best wishes 🙏
Thank you! I’m actually working on an S-LOG LUT similar to this, but in the meantime check out Mauro’s Films on UA-cam. His Arri LUT was the base for this video’s color grade.
Wow I was really about to buy this until the 120fps part came along. I'm currently using the shinobi and I wanted to buy this for the sony a7s iii for raw and pro res for 120fps. Bummer. Will just have to manually convert on my computer instead unless s&q is a work around.
As I understand it, you can record video on the Ninja V while you are in photo mode on the camera (eg, Manual mode), correct? So then does it record what the viewfinder sees, and if so, can you turn off the camera settings (that are shown around the perimeter of the viewfinder/LCD) on just the Ninja, or do you need to turn them off in camera too? Ok, here's the scenario, I want to photograph wildlife, but be recording video at that same time, and obviously, I don't want all the camera settings to show up in the video. Thanks for a great video! New subscriber now !
Thanks for stopping by, and thanks so much for subscribing! From my understanding, the only way to get the camera settings off on a Sony mirrorless is to be in movie mode. Otherwise, you will see what the viewfinder sees, on your recorder, in photo mode. That said, I'll have a chance to look into it soon, so if I discover that's not the case, I'll let you know!
@@MattJackson_UA-cam thanks for your answer...do you happen to know if you can use the 'spot focus ' i.e. shifting the camera to manual mode by touching the screen to any point on the screen where you want to focus while recording...I know it's a weird question but if you can help that would be great...thanks
@@trinivideography2472 If the camera goes to M (manual on the dial), then the Ninja will switch into recording the screen from your camera. This may be a setting that can be changed, but that's been my experience. In movie mode, you're able to use and switch between the different focus modes while you're recording to the Ninja V, including spot focus.
Hey man, awesome video! I have a Song A7s and want to use the hidden 4K feature. Is this the best option out there? Or is there something more economical to achieve 4K. Subbbbed! Thanks
Future-proofing would be a massive benefit, but if you like to shoot in 4K 120p and much of your work in that format, then the V+ is a great choice. But the original Ninja is at $499 right now for black friday on the Atomos site!
Thanks for the vid. A lot of work! Appreciate your dry sense of humour. Also, your voice is a very good voice-over voice. Have you done any for other people, if you don’t mind? If not, you should. You could do it commercially.
Thanks Ross! I’ve done quite a bit of commercial VO work over the years. It’s not my focus, but sometimes a job pops into my sphere here and there. Thanks for the kind words!!!
@@MattJackson_UA-cam When your video started, I thought, ok, this is a professional VO artist, hope he sounds like he’s interested in cameras a little bit, otherwise could be a bit sterile.😬😂 No offence, but some VO’s can be clinical. I’m glad the voice is a content creator too! I should have known you would have been self aware enough to have had VO experience, or at least, peers/friends encourage you to do it. It must come in handy for your videos. And your voice and video weren’t boring! 😅
@@rosspfeffer5185 thanks so much! Yes, in a former life I was an actor before parlaying all that experience into starting my ad agency. It’s what’s kept me busy for most of the year, hence the vast vacuum of no YT videos of late. But I shall return with a few soon! Thanks for being a part of this!
Absolutely possible. Just hit record on your camera as well as the Ninja V and they will both record. You can even record to another Ninja V with the HDMI out, giving you THREE simultaneous recordings...if you really wanted to.
It does not. The Ninja V with the A7iii is truly only useable in 24fps/30fps 4K. You can run 1080p 60fps, but I never do due to the lack of quality in the image.
Thanks for the info. Just received my Ninja and this was helpful. I'm still struggling with auto/mic, not sure if I the mic goes in the camera or in the Ninja. Advice welcomed, please?
I place mine in the input on the Ninja. You may need to tweak the delay response a bit to make sure it lines up with the speaker, but once you do, the sound is great.
Well, as it turns out the "next camera" does, and I just used the a7siii for the first time. The image is stunningly good. It matches well with the a7iii in two-camera setups, but I'm definitely going to get a second one for two-camera interviews.
You certainly can. I haven’t, only because I shoot 2-4 times a week, so I always transfer my footage to an internal drive then edit off an M.2. If you’re shooting ProRes you should have no problem editing directly off it.
Great video aka story telling, just like you I bought this to record beyond the 30 minutes limited, any insight/tutorials on how to set up the A7iii and NinjaV to have this result and more, thanks in advance .
Thank you very much for this video. I wonder if you could talk about the new sony a7siii and ninja v. nobody talks about this and in my opinion it is a good combination. But few people talk about shooting raw with sony. I am waiting for the new camera and I want to use raw. by the way excellent music

Wow I was really about to buy this until the 120fps part came along. I'm currently using the shinobi and I wanted to buy this for the sony a7s iii for raw and pro res for 120fps. Bummer. Will just have to manually convert on my computer instead unless s&q is a work around.
I know - it’s a super bummer that it doesn’t record at 120fps since so for many Sony shooters it’s a staple.
Why the water ??
As I understand it, you can record video on the Ninja V while you are in photo mode on the camera (eg, Manual mode), correct? So then does it record what the viewfinder sees, and if so, can you turn off the camera settings (that are shown around the perimeter of the viewfinder/LCD) on just the Ninja, or do you need to turn them off in camera too? Ok, here's the scenario, I want to photograph wildlife, but be recording video at that same time, and obviously, I don't want all the camera settings to show up in the video. Thanks for a great video! New subscriber now !
Thanks for stopping by, and thanks so much for subscribing! From my understanding, the only way to get the camera settings off on a Sony mirrorless is to be in movie mode. Otherwise, you will see what the viewfinder sees, on your recorder, in photo mode. That said, I'll have a chance to look into it soon, so if I discover that's not the case, I'll let you know!
Hey great video...can you tell me if you can touch the a7iii screen to acquire focus using flexible spot mode while recording?
During recording with the Ninja V, yes you can.
@@MattJackson_UA-cam thanks for your answer...do you happen to know if you can use the 'spot focus ' i.e. shifting the camera to manual mode by touching the screen to any point on the screen where you want to focus while recording...I know it's a weird question but if you can help that would be great...thanks
@@trinivideography2472 If the camera goes to M (manual on the dial), then the Ninja will switch into recording the screen from your camera. This may be a setting that can be changed, but that's been my experience. In movie mode, you're able to use and switch between the different focus modes while you're recording to the Ninja V, including spot focus.
@@MattJackson_UA-cam thanks so much for your help... I really appreciate it.👍
Hey man, awesome video! I have a Song A7s and want to use the hidden 4K feature. Is this the best option out there? Or is there something more economical to achieve 4K. Subbbbed! Thanks
Thanks so much! I think it’s the best option in my opinion. And with the Ninja V being $499 right now, it’s a great time to get one!
Is there a reason to choose one over the other when it comes to Ninja V/V+, for a Sony A7IV? Maybe just future proofing?
Future-proofing would be a massive benefit, but if you like to shoot in 4K 120p and much of your work in that format, then the V+ is a great choice. But the original Ninja is at $499 right now for black friday on the Atomos site!
@@MattJackson_UA-cam Time to order a 3rd- they’re only $399 right now! :)
I love your vids sir new loyal subscriber here 😊
Thank you so much!!!
Thanks for the vid. A lot of work! Appreciate your dry sense of humour. Also, your voice is a very good voice-over voice. Have you done any for other people, if you don’t mind? If not, you should. You could do it commercially.
Thanks Ross! I’ve done quite a bit of commercial VO work over the years. It’s not my focus, but sometimes a job pops into my sphere here and there. Thanks for the kind words!!!
@@MattJackson_UA-cam When your video started, I thought, ok, this is a professional VO artist, hope he sounds like he’s interested in cameras a little bit, otherwise could be a bit sterile.😬😂 No offence, but some VO’s can be clinical. I’m glad the voice is a content creator too! I should have known you would have been self aware enough to have had VO experience, or at least, peers/friends encourage you to do it. It must come in handy for your videos. And your voice and video weren’t boring! 😅
@@rosspfeffer5185 thanks so much! Yes, in a former life I was an actor before parlaying all that experience into starting my ad agency. It’s what’s kept me busy for most of the year, hence the vast vacuum of no YT videos of late. But I shall return with a few soon! Thanks for being a part of this!
@@MattJackson_UA-cam That’s very interesting.🙏🏻 And cool! More power to you. Now, about that Atomos ….. 🤔😅
@@rosspfeffer5185 get one.
This is a amazing video... just bought mine a couple of weeks ago and loving it… bye 30min recording limit on a73
Thank you! I love the Ninja - it's changed the game for me completely.
Directed by Wes Anderson. Great work, man! (and useful, too)
That’s the aim, no matter what celebrity director I hire 🤣
The A7III outputs only up to 60fps over hdmi anyway, so no harm done with the limitation of the Ninja. 😀
Indeed!
Can we record on Atmos with out inserting sd card in camera ?
Yes! You can record just to the Atomos without any media in the camera or you can record simultaneously to the recorder and camera.
Wes Anderson XD Nice video dude
How I can simultaneous recording (internally and externally) with Sony A7iii with Atomos Ninja V in the same time ?
Is it possible ?!
Absolutely possible. Just hit record on your camera as well as the Ninja V and they will both record. You can even record to another Ninja V with the HDMI out, giving you THREE simultaneous recordings...if you really wanted to.
@@MattJackson_UA-cam Thank you so much 🌹
You got it!
@@MattJackson_UA-cam Hi! I don't know why simultaneous recording hasn't worked for a while. I have to push rec on both devices.
@@giampaolomarconato3958 hm, I'd have to dig in and find out why that's happening in the settings...
I have a question, does the Atomos Ninja V allow the Sony a7iii to record in 4k 60fps?
It does not. The Ninja V with the A7iii is truly only useable in 24fps/30fps 4K. You can run 1080p 60fps, but I never do due to the lack of quality in the image.
Fire bro...Fire. Im sold. Thanks for this video. More More More. \m/👏👏👏
Thank you! Done and done.
Thanks for the info. Just received my Ninja and this was helpful. I'm still struggling with auto/mic, not sure if I the mic goes in the camera or in the Ninja. Advice welcomed, please?
I place mine in the input on the Ninja. You may need to tweak the delay response a bit to make sure it lines up with the speaker, but once you do, the sound is great.
5:46 How would it change the conversation if the next camera had 4k60 and raw output?
Well, as it turns out the "next camera" does, and I just used the a7siii for the first time. The image is stunningly good. It matches well with the a7iii in two-camera setups, but I'm definitely going to get a second one for two-camera interviews.
This is poetic😍
The Ninja is true poetry
Thanks! What batteries do you use? I didn’t see a link. Thanks!
I use the NP-F 970 battery. I have 4 with two recorders and have never run out of juice on shoots.
Nine Stories Creative nice! What brand do you like?
I tend to get the Neweer ones, but I also have a couple Anton Bauer for good measure.
Can you use the same SSD you record with to edit off of?
You certainly can. I haven’t, only because I shoot 2-4 times a week, so I always transfer my footage to an internal drive then edit off an M.2. If you’re shooting ProRes you should have no problem editing directly off it.
Nine Stories Creative that’s incredible, I shoulda bought one of these sooner. Thanks for the video and replying!
It’s probably the single most effective tool I’ve added to my kit - couldn’t recommend highly enough! And thank you for watching!!!
Great video aka story telling, just like you I bought this to record beyond the 30 minutes limited, any insight/tutorials on how to set up the A7iii and NinjaV to have this result and more, thanks in advance .
Thanks so much for watching! I’m working on a video all about my interview setups with the Ninja V! Stay tuned!
What aspect ratio is this video exported in? Great content!
Thanks so much! Edited and exported in 21:9. Shot on the Atomos with the 21:9 guides.
Thank you very much for this video. I wonder if you could talk about the new sony a7siii and ninja v. nobody talks about this and in my opinion it is a good combination. But few people talk about shooting raw with sony. I am waiting for the new camera and I want to use raw. by the way excellent music
Once I get my hands on the A7siii, I most definitely will! It’s a killer combo!
May I know if I can still use the Ninja V as a monitor only without the SSD plugged in? Thank you!
Absolutely. It functions as a monitor with or without the SSD.
