This is an amazing HDMI recorder. I use it mostly with a Canon C100 and it has really changed the way I edit. I highly recommend this over the Black Magic Video Assist, but I have to say when comparing the screens I cringe when looking at the Ninja 2. There's really no comparison. At its current price point this product is a steal though. As long as you aren't looking for a field monitor this is the product for you!

For this recorder, the caddy often gets stuck in the recorder, as I've seen online and experienced personally with this recorder. Don't get this, and spend your money elsewhere - such a headache, and I will be returning this product.

When I first was interested in Atomos Ninja 2 it was because all the hype around their monitors. So, I pulled the trigger and bought the base priced monitor to try it out for myself. When I got it through Adorama I inboxed it and connected it to my canon c100 and boom! It was like lightening! I quickly ran out and bought a 1tb of storage because of the amount of shooting I was good to be doing. The Ninja 2. Far exceeded my expectations. I can't waiting to upgrade to the next level aromos monitor.

This product made Sony FX7 much better for recording and editing. Wish I have know earlier such a product existed.

The Atomos Ninja 2 Video Recorder is an HDMI recorder and 800 x 480 resolution monitor that records up to 1080/30p/60i resolution directly from your camera's sensor to an HDD or SSD in Apple's ProRes or Avid's DNxHD edit-ready codecs. Color precision records at 10-bit, even from an 8-bit sensor and color sampling at 4:2:2. Recording an 8-bit signal in 10-bit won't increase the quality of the signal but will let you work with the signal in post-production as if it's 10-bit, meaning you can add effects and not see jagged lines and other artifacts. Being able to record direct from the sensor lets you bypass your camera's compression and instead have the first compression be in an edit-ready codec. Generally, the less compressions, the less image degradation.
The operating system is AtomOS 3.0, featuring sophisticated focus and exposure tools and SmartLog, which lets you log in and out points on your footage and tag clips with keywords such as "good shot" and "bad shot".
