Atomos Ninja V 5" 4K HDMI Recording Monitor with Deluxe Accessory Bundle – Includes: 2X Extended Life NP-F975 Batteries with Charger; Micro, Mini, Standard HDMI Cables; Action Grip Stabilizer & More

A few things to mention about this amazing tool, but first a little about me. I have been in the live events industry on the production side of things for over 20 years. So, I have had my hands on several different types of recording devices. Atomos builds some pretty awesome products that WORK WELL. They do run a little hot, but they don't seem to overheat and shut down. I have run them for a full days of recordings and they just work. I know one user complained about the apple pro res codec being an issue for windows users. Well, apparently what he didn't know is that you can download the needed codec. If you have a PC, just download VLC player, it's free, and you will have no issues playing the final video. I purchased this just a couple of weeks ago for one of my businesses photographing houses. I find with just my camera I would have a hard time in direct sunlight seeing my image on the camera display. Obviously, you can tell in the picture that I have zero issues in direct sun with this monitor. In fact, I am liking this so much, I am buying a second bundle for another one of my businesses. These things are great tools and will be a work horse for you. Some of the things in the bundle are junk, but overall you are getting your moneys worth. Keep in mind that it does not come with a hard drive. What is supplied that looks like a hard drive, is the enclosure for the hard drive to mount inside of, so you can connect it to the Ninja. Also, if you are going to use it like I am, you will want to order a separate hot shoe adapter for your camera as the one included in the bundle is cheap. Overall though, with the two batteries and the cables and some other contents, it's well worth it.

Great product as most people have described. If you are thinking about purchasing the Atomos Ninja V, do yourself a favor and buy from SSE Photo & Video with additional accessories. Most are selling the Ninja V by itself for $599. But I paid that price for the Ninja V, plus a large box full of very useful accessories to include 2 extended batteries with charger, carrying case, multiple hdmi cables and much more. I only wish that I had purchased this sooner because I would have saved money on some of the hdmi cables for my cameras. FYI, I am not affiliated with this company.

The input of SSD does not work and this product is international, not American-based. Since I got it the input has never worked. I tried to have it checked out and have not had any help with this.

I specifically got this for a Nikon Z6 based on our experience with another Ninja V. This is a combination monitor and recorder. It enables you to record 10-bit, 12-bit, or full RAW via HDMI on a number of cameras (12-bit and RAW on a Nikon Z6/Z7, both with record 10-bit native). You can record in Prores in a number of different compressions, .709 compliant, log or linear, and apply LUTS. Additionally, you can add focus peaking and exposure peaking (one or the other or both). Combined with the exposure curves on the display of the Nikon Z6, getting the proper exposure and being sure you're in focus is a snap. We use 500GB WD Blue SSD drives without issue to record on. The Ninja V supports Sony batteries and battery life is excellent. The screen is bright, even in intense sunlight and operates without issue.The only downside is there is a cooling fan. It will add to room tone as will any noise. If you're using the camera mic or have the shotgun mic very close to the Ninja, you'll pick up some noise. If you're using lavs, a boom, or have the shotgun mic on 15mm rods away from the Ninja V there is no issue.You can use the screen for playback also, and some editing. It can do time stamps, sync and non-sync audio and you can adjust the frames to sync audio if needed. We have found there is s 7 frame difference when we use a mixer and connect through the analog jack on the Ninja V.If you want to be serious about video, but don't have a Cine camera budget, or you've already invested in mirrorless cameras and want added functionality, this is a no brainer. Up to 60FPS 4K in Prores HD .709 compliant. Boom! (60FPS max is based upon the performance of the camera, the Nikon Z6 only supports up to 30FPS)If you're starting from scratch, by the time you add up a body, lens, Ninja V, battery, hard drive, and the accessories to connect it all properly (Smallrig cage, cables, guides) check the math - you may be to an entry level cine camera at that point.

The Ninja Atomos V is awesome and for $399 it's worth it. Spending an extra $50 to get this cheap junk the seller calls "deluxe" is a waste of money. It has the quality of stuff you'd find at the dollar store. I've had the kit for two hours and already broke an ALL PLASTIC screw.I'm legit blown away at how cheap and junky the added stuff is. Those who rated this with five stars are either lying or have intensely low standards.You deserve better and it's not this kit.I will say that the included batteries are excellent but the charger they come with is so shoddy that you're just better off buying the batteries and charger from any other company.The included HDMI cables are stupid long: Why would you include a 6 foot HDMI cable that can't handle 60 fps for this thing? So there's one more pointless thing about this package.If it says "UltimaxX" on it: STAY AWAY ... and that's what everything in this so-called "deluxe" package is branded with and WOW is it TOTAL GARBAGE.Again: The extra $50 you'll spend on this just isn't worth it. You're going to end up rebuying the same stuff because it's such total junk included. This stuff is like if a McDonald's Happy Meal came with a beginner camera kit ... and Happy Meal toys are probably better than these "deluxe" accessories.

I still have a lot to learn about this product, but I’m very pleased with the promptness of delivery, and the quality of the Ninja V. The extra accessories were nice too!
