Hi Sam, thank you for the great review, I've just ordered the Ninja V so I can get more recording time out of my GoPro 10 as it gets very hot and shuts down with the media mod fitted. I have also ordered the Hahnel HL-XL982 battery as it also has a USB output so I can keep the GoPro charged up also. I should be able to take both timelapse in the GoPro and 10-bit on the monitor to make a time-lapse video easily and just choose the normal speed interesting footage from the monitor. I also have an HDMI microscope that I'm using with a telescope too, so an external high-quality recorder would be good there too. Thank you again, I've subscribed as like your content 👍

Bro, the comparison is appIes to oranges. I don't know why someone buys ninja 5 just for monitoring. There are much cheaper alternatives for monitoring. Ninja= recording.

If I'm filming 10-bit, 4k, 50fps on my Sony FX30, will I be able to view what I'm recording on the Shinobi monitor?

Hello) Does it get very hot during filming and is it safe?

[Lunar_Films]

Recording externally to the ninja V, will this work around the crop factor whilst recording in 4k at 60fps? (S5 user)

[Bo_Hazem]

The Ninja will be essential for backup recording for something you can't really film again like a wedding.

I have both of these as well and i actually use my Shinobi more than the Ninja V.... mainly because of the weight and battery life and i don't need the external recording since i no longer use the R, so with the C70 don't have a crazy benefit for me.

Great video as always!

I was about to pull the trigger on the Ninja until watching this. I make ASMR camping video's and just run a Rode Pro + on the camera, that'll pick up the fan yea? Battery life and weight is a serious consideration... Thinking I'll start looking at Shinobi or anything you can recommend one year later. Awesome vid mate!

[fabulousleevedrums]

Thanks for this video! I'm glad I ran into it, I was so close to buying the ninja and then realized I can save money with the Shinobi. I really just need the monitor and this explanation is what I was looking for. Thanks again!

I like your video...but you forgot 2 bigs things with the Ninja V. First, when you record on the Ninja V, there is no more time limit of 30 minutes. Second, no more overheating on some cameras like the Canon R5 and R6. I have a Canon R6, so for me, i decided to go with the Ninja V. I already have the Ninja Flame, but it doesn't record in 4K 60fps... only 30fps. So that's why i'm switching to the Ninja V. It's not the first video i watched from you, and it's always goods videos. So i'm subscribing to your chanel. Thank you. 😉😊

Thanks for the review. It's such a tough decision to make because fundamentally I just want a monitor and the only feature I really want from the ninja v is the onion skin overlay. It's a shame the Shinobi doesn't do it because it doesn't store anything.

Hi Sam, excellent review!. Almost year later and now you have in the market a new range of these monitors allowing live streaming, from the Zato to the Connect accesories for the Ninja's. Would be great to see a comparison/review of these new options!. Cheers and keep the good work!.

[teamedengarden]

I shoot 4k 120p 10bit slog3 on sony 7siii. Will i be able to view this on shinobi?

[shua_films]

First off great video!! Always wondered the difference. I think I'd go for the Shinobi for now. If I did video projects full time I would probably get the V. But cheaper and does the job is my motto for now lol

[BobbyVoss]

I decided on the Ninja V due to the HDMI out for wireless video transmitter. I found myself doing a recent live stream and with two camera's, one closer to any computer and the other at a distance (less than 300 ft) and it would make it so much easier if I were able to view the monitor at a distance.

[FinancialFaiz]

What is the battery life like for the Ninja V if it isnt being used to record?

[PatrickRambles]

Dude you deserve more subscribers. Loved the vid!

[ayxmvc]

Does anyone have a problem not having full screen with Sony A7SIII?

[prince-sonawane]

@SamHolland I have a Sony A7Iv. I use it for streaming webcam or for recording in streamOBS. now I also want to record things outside in open world. in 4:2:2. what should I get? Sony A7Iv have issue with over heating if the card is slower. some one suggested me to get Atomos Ninja V. what should I do?

[ThePistonPit]

if i were to record 6k 30p or 4k 60p on the new lumix s5iiX, will this display on the shinobi...not record, just display the image on the shinobi for me to view while filming?
