ATOMOS SHINOBI 5 vs SHINOBI 7 (DON'T CHOOSE WRONG!!)

Today in this video we are looking at the Shinobi 7 and comparing it to the more budget friendly Shinobi 5. I've had the chance to use both of them extensively and I definitely have some thoughts.

Great vid, appreciate it!

*I just bought the 5inch Monitor and bought a Kondor Blue D-Tap To Sony L Series Dummy Battery NPF Cable and it works Fine for me. Love the Smaller Form Factor for me. Nice Comparison*

[@michaelfugitt6967]

Thanks for this review!

[@philddlesticks]

very helpful comparison thank you sir !

[@THEAVERAGEGUY1983]

Awesome video, i have a Shinobi 5.2 and have been wanting to upgrade to the 7" version. This is very helpful. 🙏😁

[@AryanSehgal]

Glad I could help!

[@m0rjc]

I guess the 5 is designed for lightweight handheld setups. The 7 could be used on larger cameras or tripod setups. Still - lack of HDMI is a pain on the 5. I was thinking 5 for on-camera with option of plugging into a much larger monitor for tripod use.

[@officialmultimedia8107]

The lack of rule of thirds lines made the shinobi 5 a no go for me. Really wanted to keep it for the lightweight but I need my lines

[@OlympiaMortgageLender]

Free yourself from gridlines, the rule of thirds is only one composition and sometimes those grids can limit your creativity!

[@bepitan]

@@OlympiaMortgageLender ..well yeah, but honestly you shouldn't need the lines, it should be something you can do within your head.

[@officialmultimedia8107]

@@OlympiaMortgageLender centering people especially on a gimbal and matching shots to earlier shots is much easier with lines

[@dallingrant6029]

Thank you for talking about the batteries!!! I have been looking all over the internet for what batteries are compatible with the Shinobi and it has been so confusing! I definetly want to check out the powerextra batteries!

[@ThatGuyVZ]

wow what are the odds u post this the day i start monitor hunting! lol thanks for the vid! Great review

[@AryanSehgal]

[@an_o_ia]

Your video is great. For some reason it doesn't feel like one of those useless "it's up to you" recommendations. Thanks🥰

Great video. Thank you.

[@ChrisSchieritz]

Hey dude, what sort of storage options do we have for the Shinobi 7? I bought mine the second it came out and it has been stored in it's original box ever since which feels a bit cramped, i'd feel a lot better if it was nicely packed in a padded case along with all the accessories!

[@AryanSehgal]

Hey man, I usually just keep it in my Nanuk Case, don't have a separate padded case for it. Never really had any issues with micro scratches on the screen.

[@eberhardporombka]

🙋Thank You for Your great review from Germany 👍✨

[@dgillphotos]

Update: It was a bad HDMI cable and now it works like a dream! Thanks for the cooling fan tip - it is those little things that make it better machine! -- (Old) Howdy! I have a Shinobi 7 and I'm getting a green color tint from time to time. Have you seen this? Do you know what causes it?

[@AryanSehgal]

That sounds like it might be a manufacturing defect. It might be worth contacting Atomos about it.

[@andyp7787]

Great video. Great background music. You have good taste sir! Can you give me info or a link on where you got those batteries please? The NO-F980L. I can’t find them even on the Powerextra website.

[@AryanSehgal]

Thanks for the kind words. I got those batteries from Amazon. They are the PowerExtra NP-F970 10,050 mAh batteries. Here's the link to them: a.co/d/4zZNBu9. Hope it helps!

[@andyp7787]

@@AryanSehgal Thank you very much Aryan. You really got me interested in the monitor itself, let alone the 7 inch model. I am a hobbyist that takes mostly stills, so I likely don’t need advanced features. But the idea of having a large viewer to check composition, focus and to see the result of any effect I may apply is intriguing. When you add up the cost with accessories, it still gets up there, so I hope it’s something I will find useful on my R7. Can I ask you just one last question please, then I’ll leave you alone; do you use the 7 inch on your camera rig handheld, or is it too large for that and should be on its own tripod for more static shooting?

[@AryanSehgal]

For an all day shoot, a 7 inch monitor can be a bit heavy when using it handheld. I'll usually use a monopod with it to make it easier, or a tripod of course. If you're going for a short shooting session then it should be fine in my opinion. You can make the setup lighter by only using 1 battery instead of two. Honestly the batteries add a lot of bulk to the whole setup so smaller batteries go a long way.

[@andyp7787]

@@AryanSehgal Thanks for your insight. Appreciate it. Have a great weekend!

[@demojoys]

best sunhood recs?

[@Granthuffman]

Do these do external recording?

[@AryanSehgal]

No they are just monitors

[@Granthuffman]

@@AryanSehgal I assume you don’t need the extra codecs and raw stuff you get from the ninja then?

[@AryanSehgal]

@Granthuffman ever since I bought the A7IV, I don't bother with external recording so I sold my Ninja. Planning to make a whole different video about that next week.

[@Granthuffman]

@@AryanSehgal really, interesting. I have a Panasonic s5iix and I’m considering getting the ninja or not

[@AryanSehgal]

@Granthuffman I personally think for Sony's hybrid cameras the benefits aren't that great for an external recorder but I've heard that Panasonic offers a lot of great perks for external recording. I personally am not up to date with all the latest from Panasonic, but I've heard nothing but good things so it's definitely worth looking into.
