I love this monitor but I can't say it's the most reliable. Never dropped, not a scratch, and lightly used but the monitor died mid-shoot. The unit powers on, the fan comes on and the screen backlight comes on but nothing is on the screen. Atomos estimates the repair cost to be over 50% of the purchase price. No thanks.

This is my first Atomos purchase and I am beyond happy with my purchase. The screen size is definitely larger on typical mirror less setups, but the screen real estate is AMAZING. I don?t second guess my shots and the assist tools are awesome.

Great monitor for the price. There are some things I have noticed, color is great, io is great. The one downside is that it is ever so slightly soft in the image, on average you wouldn't even notice it but I am a 1st ac and looking for that.

If you're looking for an easy to see/read monitor and recording isn't a priority for you, this is it! Super bright (as expected), easy to read and navigate, and ENORMOUS. I wanted the 7" so I knew what I was in for but the only thing I would suggest is to consider mounting options if you plan to use with a gimbal. It's taken a little "engineering" to figure out how to place this where I want on my Zhiyun Crane 3 LAB. It would be way easier to mount a 5" so something to consider but like I said, I knew there would be compromise getting a 7" and I can't say I regret it.

Great monitor that really helps see the shot composition much better than the in camera monitor. A must have for the Sony a6000 series.

Purchased the Atomos Shinobi 5" to replace our Ninja V because we don't do any external recording and the Shinobi is significantly lighter than the Ninja. We were disappointing to find out that the Shinobi doesn't have the 9 Grid Overlay or Frame Guides for Social Media. We mainly shoot content for Social Media almost exclusively Reels and having the 9 Grid Overlay is crucial for keeping our subjects in frame. For this reason we have remounted our Ninja 5 and our Shinobi is sitting in the box. We have reached out to Atomos to have these features added to the Shinobi but until then we will continue to use our Ninja V.

This is the real deal. Battery lasted for about 4 hours. It has a the bells and whistles. Be cautious as footage it looks better on this smaller monitor than it does on my 27? iMac. I like that it?s lighter than the 7 inch and only needs one battery as opposed to two. However I still find it to be kind of small for my aging eyes. I highly recommend

The Shinobi is a fantastic monitor. It is also much lighter than I expected, a pleasant surprise. Shipping was extremely fast and overall service by Adorama was excellent. Would definitely buy from Adorama again!

It is the best camera monitor I have, super lightweight, with an intuitive, portable menu. I can use it outdoors perfectly thanks to its high brightness and anti-glare screen. It would be good if it includes recording light and the possibility of seeing the camera info without reducing the image size. I absolutely recommend it.

"The Shinobi from Atomos helps me to monitor while I’m shooting, especially in Log and HDR. It’s also super light (just 7 ounces), has an extra powerful battery, and is bright and anti-reflective so I can always see the footage."
The Atomos Shinobi matches any camera level, and is one of the most affordable HDR monitors available today.
When attached to your camera, the size and weight of your monitor matters. We shaved Shinobi down to just 196g (7oz) and added ¼”-20 screw mounts top and bottom for ease of cage and adaptor rigging. The center mount battery makes balancing easy and maneuverability instant. The Shinobi is compatible with most cameras, smartphones and HDMI-ready devices.
Designed purely for monitoring purposes, Shinobi requires very low power in standby or monitoring modes. This translates to ‘all day run times’ of a single battery* and lasting endurance when you’re at the end of a shoot. Refer to specs for more information.
We understand how important to see what you’re shooting at all times. With the new Analysis feature you can now simultaneously see what you are shooting, view a waveform, histogram and vectorscope, ensuring complete control of your image. You can even switch between different waveform, histogram and vector scope options on the fly with a single touch.
The Shinobi screen displays a stunning 10+ stops of dynamic range in realtime from Log/PQ/HLG signals. Combined with our unique HDR monitoring features, the Shinobi simplifies the complexities of shooting Log and HDR, helping you to replicate post-production workflows at the moment when it matters most – while shooting. We look after the technology so you can focus on the story telling.
With a stunning 5” 10-bit HDR or SDR display, the Shinobi allows you to see your images clearly in daylight on the 1000nit anti-reflection screen. The sleek lightweight design is crafted for maximum efficiency and weighing in at just 200g, it is one of the lightest 4K monitors on the market, stealthily attaching to any HDMI camera setup.
