Yes. I will take one. You have my PO Box. Thanks for convincing me, excellent review :)

[honestview]

0:39 I wish it also had a USB to use as an actual capture card...
p.s. which Video recorder would you reccomend in 2021?

[IsaacGarciaFilms]

was honestly wondering what the hell an external recorder did exactly. thank you for the insight

[BrologicProductions]

Man, now I wish I had one of these. I was wondering how you were recording in DNxHD all this time.
This video also inadvertently answered something I was poundering for sometime. Why 10 bit videos still look better even on an 8bit display? So thanks for that.

Recently, I assisted on a pro-video [paid] shoot and got to use the Ninja video recorders. ABSOLUTELY, this is essential equipment for all the reasons you've stated. I would recommend a camera bracket or separate stand, not cold shoe. Ninja touch screen software is ridiculously good.😍

[dirbyozz]

I would just like to chime in that if your camera already shoots in ProRes (mine actually shoots in every form of the ProRes format) then this actually becomes a little more dicey, especially since mine exclusively outputs 4:2:0 over SDI (and it has no HDMI) but can shoot internally in 4:2:2. Do your research on whatever camera YOU have and make sure that a video recorder will actually benefit you.

[johnson_guite]

Does the camera autofocus works when using external recorder?

[Filmmaker]

Does your Ninja Inferno make a lot of noise when in operation? Namely the fans?

[PhillipRPeck]

Have you used it as a screen or game play capture device?

[SnowyBlizzardMC]

what are these things called, im trying to find a lower end one that records because my camera overheats if its recording for too long... a lot of the ones im looking at i dont think actually record, theyre just a display monitor lol idk anymore

[skymakai]

I just found your video. Where did you find the info about recording in 10 bit being better, even though the source is 8 bit?

[RedboxxGaming]

One quick question i hope you have and answer for it. Can i use it to capture console and live stream it to OBS as other capture card?

[kingdavid]

Does this device support recording from a video mixer like livewedge?

[kobzaproductions]

so I have been thinking about getting a red but would this be a better buy in your opinion

[syedarmaghanhassan]

thanks for sharing. You didn't show the samples for videos where difference in video-quality has been specified .. I mean how much difference is there between shooting it on SD card or externally?

[ran]

How would it work on older HD cameras? Would you be able to record higher quality video on it if you had a lower quality camera feeding into it? Example, a Panasonic AF-100 or a ENG styled Panasonic AJ-HPX2700 Varicam.

[silklion]

Etc? Which recorder is etc? I only know Atomos and Blackmagic. Is there any other with quality?

[matthiasstaber]

Some cheaper options, without screen?

[cyabongampaul]

Will you need a 4k camera to record 4k with an external recorder monitor?

[bjornbhGN]

Thanks for the great detail regarding the monitor.
Question:
I’m trying to make sure I understand you correctly. If I’m using the monitor to record my footage, let’s say SLOG3, and I turn on ATOM HDR then adjust the slider to (you said) 400-500, is the footage being recorded to the SSD with the HDR effect?

Or

Is the monitor just displaying the data being recorded and still recording to the SSD in SLOG3 for grading in post?

I’m purchasing a Ninja Flame 7 for my A7 III and I like know as much as possible before the new gear is in my hands.
