Atomos Debuts Shinobi II, 5-inch 1500nit HDR Monitor for Canon, Panasonic and Sony Cameras
Atomos announced the Shinobi II, a slim high brightness, 5-inch 1500nit HDR monitor. Atomos is known for inventing the Apple ProRes HDR monitor-recorder, Shinobi II will control most Canon, Panasonic and Sony mirrorless cameras over USB-C, and Z CAM E2 models through a separate serial cable. With future firmware updates Atomos plans to support cameras from Fujifilm, Nikon, OM System and SIGMA.
The camera’s white balance can also be adjusted via a slider. Shinobi II conveniently triggers camera recording from its screen, a great option when your camera is mounted on a gimbal. Recording status is shown by a red edge display, irrespective of whether the recording is triggered by the camera or from the Shinobi II.
The touchscreen is 1500nits at peak brightness and is 50% brighter than its predecessor and supports 10-bit HDR video and photo monitoring with zero latency. The Shinobi II will cost USD/EUR 349 (GBP 295, AUD 545), excluding local sales taxes, and is available from Atomos authorized resellers now.
