This monitor is big and bright and the ability to record from my Nikon Z6 is a huge plus.

Items arrived quickly and we're exactly as listed. The image quality is excellent, and I haven't had any issues. Solid, good quality, and fairly priced.

The Atoms Ninja Flame is a great little for a reasonable price. I use it frequently outside and never have trouble plus it gives me a much better view of images that might be hard to assess with the rear view LCD.

I really liked the product, for now I am studying a lot of all your options to get the best possible.

Having an issue with the audio, I'm receiving an intermittent distortion while recording, what I would describe as a tininess or scratchiness that comes out of the blue and remains for anywhere from 4 to 5 minutes, up to 10 to 12 minutes. Would love to hear from you about a fix for this, thanks. Otherwise video is great.

In you are in the market for a monitor buy this now. The accessories in this kit are worth every penny and the monitor speaks for its self. If you want a big jump in quality and improved work flow this is truly a no brained. Great built quality !

Anyone shooting video with a mirrorless or dslr need to own one of these. Improves video quality to another level offering another mic input so you are not pick up lens noise. I purchased this about a month ago and don’t know how I did video work without this before. Absolutely amazing!

I would definitely recommend the recorder. Being able to handle the multiple cameras in my inventory and audio is such a plus. Love the tab on the back missing from the other model so my drive doesn’t fall out. Easy to carry, mount and use.

The Ninja Flame is brighter than is predecessor and is packed to the gills with features. Focus peaking, scopes, waveforms, false color, HDR, and the ability to add custom LUT's for live viewing just to name a few, are WONDERFUL!! The features of this monitor saves you A TON OF TIME in post-processing. Build quality is great. It's a good balance in build quality and weight; using composites helps when being using on a DSLR rig when weight and balance is a real concern.

Despite some over heating issues, which I think are due to my drives, I really like the device and it is perfect for my legal videography business. Picture size and quality are amazing. I use this for backup video and love it.

Best monitor recorder in the market till now but honestly I don’t like the out look and weight , it is quite heavy ... if you are a mirror less camera user you”ld need camera cage and heavy duty infinity arms for this. 1500 nit is the best part of this recorder monitor.

From the numerous times I've played with and tested this recorder, I can safely say this is a purchase a do not regret. I do have more liberty to color edit and get a look that I more satisfied with. Using the GH4 has been great, but this just brings out the inner beast of that camera. Almost 2 years with that camera and after buying the Shogun. I'm still keeping it and not upgrading to the GH5.

Pros: Incredible screen, many options, nice design Cons: Is really hard to pull out the ssd case

I am loving the ease of use of the Ninja Flame. The customizable touchscreen display and the option to use separate audio input make this a very versatile unit. I also like the fact that it is fairly lightweight, making it easy to mount on a shoe mount. Word of warning for those new to this product: DO NOT hold down the power button to power on the unit, it is possible to corrupt the firmware. This is NOT mentioned in the user guide.

I hooked up my 5DMkIV and turned on the monitor. Switching the camers to Live-view allowed me to see what the camera sees. There is no discernable delay, however I am not watching bullets fly! I am using a 15 foot HDMI cable.

This is a great monitor/recorder with a variety of options when recording. The screen quality is impeccable, and the flexibility in applying luts, zebra pattern visibility, and other features is amazing. The one issue that I had is that when recording very long segments (like >45 min), the video files began to break up. In other words, I would have one very large file, and other smaller length files for the entire recording. This also resulted in some missing footage. I was using an SSD recommended by Atomos. Not sure what other users have experienced but this was what I experienced.

If you shoot video with a DSLR and shoot anything that has a run duration of more than 20 mins the Atoms is the way to go. Plus you get better image quality than the camera recording.

We bought the ninja flame at the last minute in order to be able to record two full days of dealer meetings. Without much time to research all the possibilities we were able to get it set up and recording in less than an hour. Super happy with ease of use and of course the quality of the unit and the beautiful footage it captured. After filming a few minutes we noticed there was a small delay in lip sync but we were able to make a quick adjustment of about 4 frames in the audio settings on the flame and it never got out of sync again. We recorded 16 hours of 1080p HD video and it took a little over 500gb of space when we transferred the footage to the computer. Great unit and we are looking forward to using it for all our future meetings.

The features and functionality of this device are outstanding. However, I did end up returning it in favor of the PIX-E5H because the build quality felt extremely cheap and delicate to me. I need gear that can take a beating so the PIX was just a better fit for me.

It's not the cheapest, or the most expensive, but it is the absolute perfect recording monitor on the market right now. It's well-built, it works all the time, and it's fully-featured. I can't think of a single thing it doesn't do that you would need it to do. It has a really bright screen, and for those ridiculously sunny days, it comes with a sun hood. If I had to nitpick, I'd say having both heavy batteries on one side of the device doesn't seem to be the best design to balance weight, but that's really just being picky because it hasn't been a problem. With HDR, it's a future-proof piece of technology, and to boot, you can use it as a color-correction monitor when you go to grade your footage. Simply a great piece of equipment.

Love it. Easy set up. Great performance. The camera shoe mount is not practical, better using an articulating arm.

Use this mostly when I am in a locked down environment. Monitor functions are great to quickly establish exposure, color balance and highlights. Waveform, RGB parade, False Color and Blue screen (for noise) are all helpful for optimized setup. Peaking and Zebras functions also are excellent. Working well for me with Nikon D810 and Sony XDCAMS. Avoids time limitation of DSLR. At 7", probably too big to practically use on a rig, but then again, I have found the ergonomics of DSLR not suited for run and gun anyway, IMHO.

I don't really have many complaints at all about the ninja flame, at least after using it for just 2 shoots. My only negatives are actually really good things: First, the file size- it's amazing quality video, I'm just not looking forward to constantly buying new hard drives. Second, the size- I knew what I was in for when I purchased the machine, so I can't complain at all about this one, but I do sometimes wish the screen was a little smaller for weight and portability reasons.

Works great, the monitor is a bit larger than expected, but works fine. Image quality is unmatched and the unit offers the right options for recording. Easy to use.

I am primarily using to record and de-squeeze my gh4 and bmpcc anamorphic shots, and it is amazing!!! Outputting at 10-bit for gh4 at 4K is awesome! I'd have to say though, that so far I'm digging my cameras flat output better than atomos HDR function. I have not used HDR function because whenever I toggle back and forth I never really think it looks that good .... clipped highlights and over saturated and crushed blacks aren't what I think of as a good looking image. Perhaps my HDR needs an update? Who knows :) But looking at how amazing this monitor is, I'm almost creating excuses to be able to use this thing on any project, and that's saying something pretty profound considering I like lightweight quick and handheld setups.
