    Went through a similar "agonizing" time of debating whether or not to buy the Ninja V to go on my a6400. Then, Atomos dropped the price of the Ninja V by some $350 for a month or so. Managed to find the ONE left in stock in Vancouver and raced with money in hand. My trip from discovery to acquisition was about 2 1/2 years and a few crappy used monitors from FB Marketplace. Couldn't be happier that I now have this little beast of a screen.

  • @PrimeInChina
    @PrimeInChina 5 років тому +12

    I did the same, I put my a7iii in a small rig with the handle on top. Then the ninja on top of it. I found it adds enough weight that footage handheld comes out a little more stable. Most of all though just being able to shoot in 4k forever without worrying about it stopping recording is nice. Also, I think the screen on the ninja is much better when using manual lenses + focus peaking. Plus, just having a screen anyways is really helpful and it isn't that much more weight to be honest.

    I've been using the Ninja V with my Canon 5D Mk IV for about a month now. Mainly I needed to get past the 30 minute recording limit (concert and dance performance shooting), but the Ninja's prores files are noticeably better than the files produced by the 5D, especially in low light/high ISO situations - less noise, no blown out highlights. It is almost like having an entirely new camera. I consider it money well spent.

      Hello from the future. I tried recording simultaneously internally on my A7riii and externally on my Ninja V. Worked fine, but the internal record still times out at 29 minutes, and when it stops recording, it stops the Nina V at the same time.

  • @m_hall
    @m_hall 5 років тому +11

    I have one, and it's great, however there are two main downsides imo:
    1. You can't record 120fps on the atomos, meaning if you like to shoot a combination of slowmo and regular footage, you will find yourself switching back and forth between the external recording and internal recording, which also requires you to unplug the atomos cord from your camera in order to have the sony's screen work.
    2. When recording externally, if you have a camera with duel sd cards, you are forfeiting the duel record feature, which for some professional work may be a deal-breaker and a good reason to record internally instead.

    Ninja V is an indispensable tool to me. Too many great video tools, from false color to focus peaking, robust, lightweight, perfect size for framing and focusing, and the SSD card just slides right off the back for really fast data transfer. I just shot a feature; 25 X 16 hour days and it was flawless. I shot the S5 into the Ninja so I was getting Full Frame, Prores 5.9k 422 at 12 bit, non stop, all day, flawless!

    I decided on the atomos shinobi over the ninja v. Why? $200 price difference, did not include hard drive nor battery. So for the extra $50, I got the accessory kit which included the sunshade, 2 batteries, etc. Not sure I really need the record function for my usage. But needed the larger brighter screen. My only complaint is I can't see everything that appears on my sony zv1 (although I have not done a firmware update yet). I can only see what the lens sees plus audio level. It does not show all the settings.
    I wish (for the price of these) it included battery and either a 1/4 20 or cold shoe mount. My shinobi only came as monitor, nothing else in box.
    I think the $600 price tag if the ninja v, you should get a battery and a drive. My entire shinobi bundle was under $500 including sales tax. I only needed to but a mount and hdmi cables.
    Also word of advice. If your camera has a micro hdmi port,* DO NOT * use the coiled cable. Use a straight in. The coiled cable is stiff and pulls on the port resulting on a bad connection and risk breaking your port.

    I did the same with the GH5 and the Ninja V. So for months I researched and listened how various UA-camr said you only need the Ninja V if you need to record 4k 10bit 60fps and I didn't really care about the 10bit 60fps. In the end I went for it and bought the ninja v and the footage I now have to work with ( which is ProRes LT or HQ) make grading the footage and playback is so worth the cost. The end product that I get from the ninja v gives me a professional and cinematic footage that I was never able to get from the gh5 on it's own. So I get what you are saying . Great video .

      Hold that thought! It doesn’t actually turn 8 bit into 10 bit! You’re still only getting whatever data your camera can output, you’re just putting it in a 10 bit container. So you won’t really get any more bit depth for color grading, the files are just more efficient for your computer to work with than the more compressed internal options.

    I must say, I almost purchased one as well. However, I think I enjoy the H264 codec bc with a powerful computer, like the latest iMac with FCP, it doesn’t take too long to convert to ProRes. Additionally, after the project is done, I’ve found a good satisfaction in deleting the rendered and converted media which only leaves the original h264 videos. These are a lot smaller. So, if I shoot straight to ProRes & I’m done with the project and want to store it then I’ll have to do so with the big chunky files of prores vs the H264 Sony format.

    • @dunnadidit
      @dunnadidit  5 років тому

  • @wwelti
    @wwelti 2 роки тому

    I can tell you why I got the Ninja V.
    It's mostly about quality (yes indeed) and saving $$$.
    So, I got a second hand A7s because I wanted that sensor but didnt want to pay a premium price. My previous inexpensive APS-C Canon camera just didn't cut it when it came to video quality, at 1080p the footage looks a bit mushy, and at 4k the crop and noise is just too much.
    The A7s was a big improvement here already with hugely better quality even at 1080p, but when I saw what it can do at 4K, the Ninja V was a must-have (since the A7s cannot record 4k internally). Also got a good deal on it. The quality of the 4k prores 422 recording with the Ninja V is lightyears ahead of anything I ever used before. That's not a very subtle difference.
    So this setup now allows me to get really decent 4K footage, since the A7s sensor is still really good, and the internal recording quality of the Ninja V is top notch as well. I believe there is no other way to get this kind of video quality for so little money.
    Apart from that, it's pretty useful to have a high quality field monitor while recording.
    Of course it's much easier just to use my old canon with continuous autofocus and all, it's also smaller and lighter. But the video quality really hurts my eyes, now more than ever before.
    Sometimes a lightweight and easy-to-use setup just doesn't cut it.
    Of course the A7s II could also be an option, since it records 4K internally. But then I still would want to have a field monitor. And the A7s II records at a way lower bitrate than the Ninja V, I kinda doubt it could keep up with it quality-wise.
    Surely the A7s III would be great, but it's still pretty darn expensive.
    So, being on a tight budget, the Ninja V together with the A7s is quite an interesting option. Plus it gives me all the added value that the Ninja V provides, which is quite substantial in total. The only thing I'm missing is a good autofocus, but there's no inexpensive way I can imagine to get a really good autofocus with this kind of video quality, so I have to live with it for now.

If you shoot in f log you don’t need to worry. It’s a hidden thing I discovered only after getting my atomos on my x-t3 I noticed my blacks looked crushed.

    Qn: do you plug in the mic into the recorder or into the camera jack?

      Either. If you have an input on the camera, you can use it (goes to the Ninja V via HDMI). If you don't, then plug into the Ninja V directly and adjust the frame delay for the incoming video in the settings (if you have the optional Sync module, it can calibrate the delay between audio and video automagically).

    Thank you for making this video.
    Do you think I can buy this monitor for wedding video shoot? I have Sony a73 and I’m thinking of getting the monitor to improve my view. How about the face tracking on this monitor for moving object like weddings?
