What is the Atomos NINJA V!? a full beginners explanation + a review for buyers

Thanks for watching, I know it's a long video! I hope you find this video helpful, but if you don't just leave me a comment so I can change that. Here are a few time stamps and extra notes I forgot to mention in the video:

- In my work, I rarely notice the increase in quality provided by the Ninja V. And because the quality difference is so small for me, and I want to save hard-drive space, I only edit / keep the h264 files from the Fuji.

- Timestamps:
0:00 - hello
2:35 - explaining the ninja v
13:35 - review (spoiler: I recommend it)
14:40 - the fan noise is kind of annoying, but not a big deal to me
18:00 - my solution to the ‘legal’ vs. ‘full’ range signal issue that many have discussed online.

All footage was shot on the gear listed below... Editing was completed in Davinci Resolve. Color graded using my custom LUTs which you can buy below.

Perfect video, exactly what I need, will this work on a Sony a9ii i have inherited?

[ellesreptiles]

Your videos are wildly helpful. Thanks! 😊

I just stumled across your video. I ordered this monitor for my Nikon D500 to shoot video. I find your video to be highly informational and no one else explains in simple details how this monitor works regarding recording. I'm eager to see how well this monitor will work with my Nikon's.

I know it's not related, but which speedbooster do you use for the Sigma 18-35?
Some of the speedboosters are pretty loose. I have the Zhongyi m42 to FX and its somewhat loose on the Fuji mount end. I hate that, because when I'm focusing, the lens moves.
Also how does the AF work? The XT3 has average at best AF for very basic tracking, but I guess it does not work well with a speedbooster?

Thanks for the video. I'm looking to buy one of these for my R5 and would love some advice:
1 does the Ninja screen allow for touch to focus?
2 if no to above, does the camera LCD stay on simultaneously so I can use touch to focus?
3 if no to #2, how do you go about directing focus when it goes wayward as it inevitably does?

These are some deal breaker questions for me before I purchase.
Thanks in advance

Will it record from a Nikon p1000? Some (or most, I assume) will not, like the Yolobox Pro.

[JLamont]

Are you saying that I can shoot video with my Panasonic HVX200 in 24fps and record it to the ninja and export to PowerDirector without effecting the look and quality of the footage? Also it gives me two sets of footage in different codecs because I will also have the footage on the P2 cards,

Hello 👋🏻 Well I am looking forward to buy NINJA V. But before that I got few questions in my head.
1- I got canon M-50 MARK 2, so is it compatible with Ninja V


PLEASE DO ANSWER ME TO THIS.

Good day, for a brand new SSD, Do I need to create a "New Simple Volume" via desktop/laptop before plugin it in the Atomos?

[lucaloschi]

Hi, can I ask you if you know about any way to delete single clips from the atomos device?
I can't find this option anywhere!
Thanks a lot! 👍

[regenytarmovies]

What do you think: it is worth buying the latest H265 codec?

[GurmeetSingh-fruo]

Why not record internal in camera as cameras like Sony A7S III do high bitrate 10 bit 422.

[oldyoutubeaccount]

One question, what’s the difference between “DNxHD HQX vs apple prores 422” (except for Window and Mac using)

[jasonbarnett]

Thank you for the video. Is there a way to do the same work around, changing the data levels to full, in adobe premiere pro?

[rhycar]

Hey John, great video. Regarding your fix for making the Ninja V and Fuji files match, do you know what command this would be in Adobe Premiere Pro?

[davec]

Great video and walk thru. I appreciate the breakdown!

[oldyoutubeaccount]

One big question that I can’t find the answer, if you want to record 4k60400mbs WITHOUT a card on camera, is it possible to happened with ninja v with an SSD??? Thanks for the video and GOIND (and helping us haha 😆)

About the full/limited range issue: full= 0-255, limited= 16-236, what i understand of it, is, that it is a hardware "thing" and an source input setting... set your camera to full range, set recording to full range, when you have miss matched levels, they are shifted 16 = 0 too dark 236 = 255 too bright, you can correct this by hand like is done in this video by color correcting but is not correct, what lies in between (colors) is stretched or shrunken, depending on kind of miss match…. but your final post work will make it limited range, correct me if i am wrong….

I heard all the fuji's X series model have overheating problem. I own a x-t200 and it overheats when shooting 1080p/24fps HDR for more than 15mins continuously. Im wondering in getting atomos ninja V to prevent from overheating.

Does your ninja V prevent your x-t3 from overheating ?
