The recorder works well for 4K 60fps capture but as a discontinued product it is nearly impossible to get support from the Atomos website and even firmware updates require a special link obtained from the Atomos customer support people. The good part is that brackets are easy to find (but be careful as the Shogun models have changed over the years and there are multiple versions that vary slightly in their external dimensions. Media is dirt cheap with 1TB SSD cards selling for less than $100. Be careful as Atomos does not maintain a database of tested cards that will work for 4K 60 fps recording and many have had problems with media problems and with the Shogun itself. At this time it is safer to go with the Ninja V Plus. It too has its issues but it is better supported than the Shogun models.

This monitor is absolutely amazing! The image quality and functionality are exactly what I needed. I use this on my Panasonic EV-A1 which I power using a D-Tap. The only issue I had was the D-Tap power cable that was supplied did not fit my D-Taps. Had to purchase a different cable which works perfectly.

Excellent and robust, you can't go wrong with SDI inputs!

Not the fault of the products or the listing but when acquiring and using the Atomos Shogun 7 you will need to make sure you purchase a HTML and mini HTML cable. Works great.

This is my first and last recorder from Atomos. I'll admit, on the surface it looks great, functions great and is at a price point that's hard to pass up. But after using it twice on a multi-camera job, where thousands of dollars are at stake and reliability is crucial, this unit failed miserably, After recently switching and recording a multicam concert-- without any power or SSD issue, or any indication of an issue-- I tried to copy over the ProRes files only to find them unreadable. The entire event: PGM file, ISO files were broken, corrupted and beyond repair. As a long time user of Video Devices and Convergent Design recorders, I have never experienced one corrupted or unreadable video file. I had a lot of hope for the Shogun 7, but it has proven disastrous when I needed it to perform it's most basic function-- reliably record!
