Not enough people talk about Shogun! It's a BEASTLY monitor and I'm always amazed that people think 5" is enough for proper composition and focus when most people don't even like 5" screens on phones!

[@neilfullframe]

I completely agree, this thing is a BEAST. Whether it's on camera or being used as a directors monitor. It truly is a perfect camera monitor...recorder...live stream device. :) Thanks for checking out the video.

[@spdcrzy]

@@neilfullframe what mic are you using BTW? I like the fact that you can see on the video itself whether your audio is clipping or not in real time.

[@LeachyPeachy99]

Nice video my man. Really appreciate the information. I have the Ninja V and was thinking about picking up the Shogun Ultra.

[@neilfullframe]

Glad I could help! Thank you for checking it out. I will be doing a deep dive into the monitor and its features very soon!

[@TheonlyNormacJetz]

The quality of this monitor is insane 🔥🔥🔥

[@baraltayli]

Hi Neil, I just wanted to reach out and express how much I enjoyed your recent video. It was fantastic! Your content is always informative, engaging and inspiring. I was wondering if it would be possible for you to create a detailed educational video on the Shogun. Specifically, I am interested in learning more about its menu and settings. If you still have access to the Shogun and can spare the time, a tutorial on navigating through the device's features would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, mate.

[@neilfullframe]

Thank you so very much for the kind words. I really appreciate you taking time out of your day to watch the video. As a matter of fact I am working on a deep dive video for the new model Shogun. I will come back here and let you know when it’s up on the channel. Thank you 🙏🏼 cheers 🥂

[@CreativVisuals]

Great video, thanks! That SSD you showcased, do you have a link for it? Does it have the same write speeds similar to the angel birds?

[@neilfullframe]

Hey there its the Sandisk 1TB SSD, you can find it on Amazon and I am not sure about the comparison to the Angelbirds. But it does have read/write speeds up to 550MB. Thank you for checking out the video and I am going to be doing a deep dive into the Shogun in another video soon.

[@jonagreyphoto]

Great video - thanks for this review!Thinking of buying this or the Hollyland Mars M1 Enhanced, mainly for video transmission. The deciding factor: besides iOS devices, can you wirelessly transmit the Shogun video signal to a receiver for a Directors/Client monitor setup? I’ve got a 24inch SmallHD monitor and am struggling to figure out how I can send the signal to it 😅Thanks again!

[@neilfullframe]

Glad it was helpful and thank you for checking it out. With the shogun you can do remote view to iOS devices but directly to another monitor is not possible without some sort of wireless hdmi transmission system. So essentially a Mars 4K or something similar.

[@Tlmint2]

Enjoyed your review. Thank you. What SSD card were you referring to that is one terabyte for $100 and compatible with the Shogun? Do you have a link for it on Amazon?

[@neilfullframe]

Hello and thank you for watching. I’m currently using both Crucial and Sandisk SSD in the shogun and they have worked flawlessly 🙏🏼

[@jewlz_verne]

What monitor mount are you using for the shotgun ultra on your handle? My smallrig isn’t doing well with the weight and keeps moving

[@neilfullframe]

I’m using a smallrig articulating arm monitor mount. Check out my BMPCC6KG2 rig build video and the link for the monitor mount is in the description. Thank you for looking into this video.

[@seanpmgallagher]

What is the round pin on your chest that appears to have an audio meter on it? Great video, btw!

[@neilfullframe]

Haha it is the mic 🎤 it’s the Saramonic Blink Me 2 thank you for checking out my video. I greatly appreciate it and another video is coming, deep dive into the monitor.

[@fendermz6]

Hello. Great video. How is it with the bmpcc6k. Can it record 6k Apple ProRes to ssd from it

[@neilfullframe]

I’m sorry I didn’t try to record prores with it since the BM has prores recording built in.

[@user-rs1xd4xx2k]

I loved my Shogun Inferno years ago, was hoping they would release this like in 2019 but hey better late than never

[@ahmadmallard]

I went to Samy's Camera right after viewing this video. Thanks!!!

[@belizemytravels]

What is the name of the SSD for 50 box. great reivew. Really Appreciated it

[@neilfullframe]

Thank you for the kind words and it’s the Sandisk SSD PLUS 1TB INTERNAL SATA

[@george_velazquez_]

great video primo!

[@neilfullframe]

Appreciate it! I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for coming by and checking it out.

[@adnaneidan]

Hi Niel, have you tried it on the R5? I got the ninja ultra and everything works except false color tools. I keep on getting the same message that I need to specify the input and output data although all are done and I’m exporting a raw image. Atomos takes forever to get back on support emails…

[@neilfullframe]

Not yet! I have a buddy who has an R5C and I was going to try it with the 8K output from the R5C. I plan to do that this week, I’ve been wanting to test several different cameras with it and then do another deep dive video on it. Hmm not sure why the false color issue is happening. So you’re saying you do have the camera input and codec from the camera set in the ultra ? I would think regardless the false color should work with whatever image input the monitor sees. Very odd ! Atomos does take a minute for support but usually it’s within 24 hrs from what I’ve experienced.

[@adnaneidan]

@@neilfullframe yes, nothing happens when false color is selected and I keep on getting the same error message. Please give it a shot and let me know. I wrote to them and followed the steps they sent but the problem remains. I have sent them screenshots and waiting for their reply

[@BroownC]

Cheers. Is there a comparison between the first Shogun 7 and the Ultra?

[@neilfullframe]

I don't have the Shogun 7 which I believe you're referring to the older model? But if I could get one, I would gladly do a comparison. Thank you for checking out the video.

[@BroownC]

@@neilfullframe ​​Yeah, that's what I mean. The original Shogun 7 was discontinued, which I never understood why and can't find enough KZbin videos about. It seems to have more options and possibilities than the new Ultra, looking at the specifications compared side by side... I own the original Shogun 7 and don't see a reason why Atomos wouldn't offer new updates. My thoughts are, Atomos might have released the Shogun 7 with that many features and capabilities too early and might have thought, updating it wouldn't sell new devices that would beat it. Like going from 0 - 100 and then smashing the brakes and going back to 80 with the Ultra with some tweaks, with the idea of gradually rolling up towards 100 again with new devices. Maybe I'm wrong?

[@kerazydog]

thanks King. 1 question: How loud does this monitor run?

[@neilfullframe]

I haven’t been able to test it too much. The most I’ve ran it is for an hour and I couldn’t hear fan noise at all. But also I was not really listening too hard for it. Thank you for checking out the video. I appreciate you

[@joronbrice]

Can I use this with the Sony FX3 for prores recording

[@neilfullframe]

Yes absolutely, you can do prores HQ, LT and RAW with this monitor/recorder.

[@canadianoperator]

Picked this up recently and it's awesome. But can't get it to record. Got the SSD in the back, formatted in the unit. Got all my inputs and everything setup, going from a Sony A7IV in HD 24p via HDMI, hitting the record button and nothing happens. Also set up remote trigger from the camera so the Shogun records when the camera does, and also doesn't work. Any ideas gents?

[@neilfullframe]

Hmmm that seems very odd. Are you on the latest firmware ? I hope it’s not just a bad unit for some reason. But sounds like you’re doing everything correctly. What SSD are you using ? It’s seated well into the Shogun ?

[@canadianoperator]

@@neilfullframe hey thanks for the reply but actually figured it out. For some reason the Shogun didn’t like me disabling the mic line audio tracks from recording for some reason. I armed them and then disarmed them and the record button was no longer greyed out. What an odd issue to have. Thanks for the help nevertheless :)

[@juliushobgood]

I need to upgrade to this!

[@neilfullframe]

It’s such a great monitor and piece of gear

[@flexflex5853]

Just to know, the max output is 12 bits like the Ninja V or 16 bits ?

[@neilfullframe]

It is 12 bit, the 16 bit that can come into the monitor is then translated into 12 bit.

[@flexflex5853]

@@neilfullframe how they do video with 16 bits on the A7S3 on KZbin so ? I really don’t understand

[@flexflex5853]

It could be the great choice considering i use an A7S3 in HLG 3, & edit on Davinci Resolve ?

[@neilfullframe]

Yes, definitely

[@flexflex5853]

@@neilfullframe great. Just receive it today! That’s my first one. But now, i have NO idea how to use it. There is no cable for it lol, for the price… What i have to buy to have the image of my A7S3 on my monitor please ? (I watched into the hdmi cable but i don’t know how to put that in the camera, in the « MULTI » port ? In the big HDMI port ?

[@SDA-Sound]

What mic is that attached to you? 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@neilfullframe]

It’s the Saramonic Blink Me 2

[@NelsonsReview1]

Can you let me (us) know exactly which SSD you use?

[@neilfullframe]

I use the SanDisk Ultra 3D NAND 1TB Internal SSD - SATA III 6 Gb/s, 2.5 Inch it’s $68 on Amazon.

[@NelsonsReview1]

@@neilfullframe Thanks for taking the time to respond!

[@kittenwarrior1023]

That looks nicest

[@Brookssmedia]

that mic looks cool as hel

[@neilfullframe]

It’s pretty dope, Saramonic Blink Me 2 and does internal float recording too

[@gastondartevelle]

I prefer atomos give a wireless follow focus posibilities from camara to monitors rather than livestream or upload material

[@neilfullframe]

I agree completely, the live streaming functionality is I’d say average. The audio and video look good but… the audio latency with Ethernet or WiFi is not good at all. Also I don’t like that I have to select the most expensive cloud plan to just get 1080P HQ streaming. If the monitor can accept 6K or 8K then give me at least 2.7-4K live streaming. Maybe in the future and also I hope Atomos will address the audio latency issues.

[@goddyab]

huh!! @ 0:35 did you say the last Monitor/ last Recorder / live stream device you will ever buy?? lol, I will revisit this Video in about 6months to 11months time. I have been a big fan still is, of Atomos Monitors, let me name list of Atomos i own, Ninja inferno 7", Shogun 7 HDR, Ninjas V 2X, and now Shogun Connect 7" HDR, now they just released another Shogun 7 Ultra and Shogun 7" and Ninja Ultra and Ninja. bro!!!

[@neilfullframe]

I am in love with it so maybe thats just overtaking me right now lol. But I really can't see any other features I will need in a monitor/recorder in the future. But we shall see lol. I appreciate you stopping by and checking out the video. :)

[@TechnoPod]

So without a paid cloud account the wireless part of this is useless?

[@neilfullframe]

Yes sort of, I mean the free plan gives you some functionality but not a ton.

[@Absolutelynoway2]

These have horrendous latency gg go next

[@neilfullframe]

I have noticed with the streaming it is a bit laggy. It is still functional in my opinion. Not the most important feature for me, just a plus if needed.
