Recording in pro res... Recording in raw... Cinema exposure tools not found in your mirrorless cameras... SSD memory for very long record times... The atomos ninja v is the standard. Up to 5.7k at 60fps. The Ninja V allows users to get the most from there camera that's held back by internal codecs. It wasn't in stock at the other place, but Adorama always makes sure they have everything you need to win in film.

An incredible tool to record footage and bypass the compression of your cameras internal recording that degrades your true image quality. The Ninja uses SSD drives... Faster and much more reliable record speeds and times for half the price of SD cards. The Ninja allows the use of the Pro Res Raw and Pro Res codecs... Some of the best in the business that don't allow your computer down during the edit. This recorder/monitors exposure tools are to notch... False color, vector scopes, waveforms, focus peeking all make this tool turn average cameras into a filming force to be reckoned with. I don't want to record internally again if I don't have to. My only wish is that it came with a hood. I would definitely recommend it to anyone trying to squeeze every inch of IQ out of their camera.

This is such great recording monitor, just upgraded it from V+ version and that was truly right decision - used it with several cameras already and it works flawlessly.

I purchased a pair of Ninjas to use for wedding and event videography. I need the ability to record 1080p and 4k for more than 29:59 with minimal extra expense. I already had a pair of EOS R bodies and upgrading to a newer set of bodies than weren't limited to 30 minutes wasn't an option. I've done a tone of testing and used the Ninjas for two weddings not and I'm very pleased with the results. The package that included the CONNECT modules is going to add another layer to my business with the ability to live stream events.

This monitor produces a crystal clear view and is a great companion to my sony a7r3! I've wanted one of these for over a year and am so glad I took the time to research and pull the trigger on this beast!

I really love this monitor it has added so much to each camera that Ive owned so far, specifically the zcam and fuji cameras. The only thing i wish is that the battery life was longer but as a recorder it will drain faster then other monitors.

The screen is beautiful, lightweight, and pretty easy to use. However, the fan noise was too much for me. 2-3x louder than the fan of my P4K and no options to control it. Doesn't slow or turn off during recording, just constantly makes noise. Returned for a SmallHD monitor which uses passive cooling (no fan - no noise).

This is an awesome piece of equipment and a tool I will be using for years to come. I was s skeptical about the necessity of an external recorder but I'm not anymore. Grab one!

Very impressive monitor/recorder. Quality is fantastic and the screen is sufficiently bright to use in sunny conditions - can’t wait for the sun hood though as this will help even more for critical focussing etc. Easy to set up, on screen settings easy to find and change. Also nice that it takes the SSD I bought a while ago for a Ninja Blade; just switched to the V caddy. Using with a C100 MkII. Auto triggering works great. Bit disappointed that Atomos have not produced a full manual for it yet…and their tech dept was a little slow to respond. Otherwise it’s an easy 5 stars!
