You should absolutely upgrade, for $79.00. Since the release of this video, with the return of Jeromy Young, the decision was to release AtomOS11 for the original Ninja V and V+ (base OS11 with new GUI but no new features is free). For $79 (Ninja V) and $129 (Ninja V+), you receive it all - EL Zone, ARRI false color, SegmentPro, PlaybackAssist, RecordAssist, Wi-Fi 6 as well as the H.265 and ProRes RAW codecs bundled in for free! Ninja V+ owners also get Wi-Fi 6E, ProRes RAW Dual-Record and SDI Cine (these last are features for the Atomos Connect in combination).

Such a fantastically detailed in depth review. subbed.

[@ScottJWaldron]

Great job on the video. How loud are the new ones compared to the original? At 4k30fps the original's fan can get pretty loud so I'm wonder if the new ones are quieter in 4k recording? Also, do the new ones get as hot to the touch at 4k? A lot of the time I do hands-on recordings where my rig is close to what I'm recording and have a microphone recording what I say. If the new ones are quieter that would be a nice plus.

[@skyace888]

Thanks for the video. I have the original Ninja V and have used it occasionally with my Nikon Z6II. Just got a Z8 and Atomos hasn't officially announced support for Z8 (or Z9) so not sure if I'll upgrade (or at least wait a little bit).

Hey Victor, can you provide some clarity on the filename matching? I'm wondering when externally and internally recording at the same time, will the filenames match on the Ninja, or just the Ninja Ultra? You mentioned over SDI? If I use HDMI the file names will be different, and there wont be a convenient way to sync the footage? Hope that makes sense! Thank you!

[@VictorLaforteza]

Yeah mostly for high end cine cams with SDI! Hdmi we won’t be able to get the info out from the camera.

[@TheAugusts]

@@VictorLaforteza Okay, thank you!

[@TaoCovillault]

I didn't use Ninja's but I am considering getting one as a first monitor. One some tho, what happens if you shoot 4k 50 or 60p ? Does the monitor still shows the video or does it turns black ? And, is it possible to plug the Ninja(s) to the HDMI output of the Macbook Pro, to use it as an external monitor (thinking about multimonitor editing on Final Cut :P) Thank you 🙏✨

[@ScreenFiends]

Many of the features on the new Ninjas are now available on the old model as of the most recent firmware. It will gice you the latest operating system and for $79 you'll get the other features like EL Zone.

[@wenjun_n]

Awesome video! Can you also do one on the newly updated shogun and shogun ultra?

[@VictorLaforteza]

Thanks! I'll see if I can!

[@themrmanny24]

The Log formats (Cine EI, Flexible ISO) are only available in 4K output resolution if RAW Output is set to On under HDMI Output Settings (which locks you in ProRes RAW which isn’t compatible with DaVinci Resolve…) It is strange that Log is restricted to HD when RAW Output is turned Off You have the right idea though, changing a Picture Profile to SLog3, SGamut3 Cine (with Detail set at -7 to make it accurate) does the trick!

[@VictorLaforteza]

Only on dual recording though but otherwise if you’re just outputting to external (raw or non raw) it’ll output 4k.. once you turn on internal media recording you’d just have HD to the ninja.. sad but the workaround does pretty well!

[@TheAugusts]

When you record internally and externally with Sony cams does it record to both sd cards and the monitor at the same time? Or just one sd card and the monitor? Thanks!

[@VictorLaforteza]

both works actually! single or dual internal recording + external recording.

Great review, you answer all the questions someone would have on the benefits of getting the new version or not! Its so annoying to pay for services on a device you already own and paid for.

[@cmd728]

If I get the new ninja for my fx30 and use it as a monitoring tool in UHD but still decide to record internal slog 3 will I mess up my footage? By mess up, I mean being tricked by my eyes while shooting and viewing the images through UHD and having an unexpected 4k image when I offload footage at home. I want to use it to preview luts and have a monitor while shooting.

[@VictorLaforteza]

I wish it had that function as well!!

[@wildpatagoniafilms16]

Great vid mate! Questions... 🤔 I am shooting with the R5C... is the "old' Ninja the original Ninja V+ ? if so... the new Ninja is superior in features than the older V+ ? (I think the 5+ allows 8K30...). So 🤔 to use it with the R5C, you think I can get away with the old Ninja, or the new one or the 'Ultra" would give me more options (8K pro Ress raw) and other festures as "pre record" 9I do lots of nature) and better Timelapse options... ? Thanks in advance. Cheers!

[@VictorLaforteza]

I’d say the scheduled Timelapse would be good for you but it’s basically the old units plus the new features which you can get as a paid add on instead of buying the new models! The ninja+ also gives you the 8k raw if the camera is compatible but ya quite confusing 🤪 but basically they’re the old ninja units but with added features.. nothing new about the hardware! hope that helps 🫡

[@evanvalenta7621]

When using the c2c workflow with the ninja v can you record ProRes simultaneously to the h.265 proxies going to the cloud? Is that limited to the ultra?

[@VictorLaforteza]

Limited to new ninja and the ultra. Ninja v can only do h.264 for proxies

It will playback but it’ll be on 4k60. It still looks decent for viewing purposes

[@BootStrapTurnerVideography]

Now the video needs an update. Atomos has decided to upgrade the Atomos Ninja V/V+ with a base free OS 11 with companion OS11 Feature Pack that can be purchased to bring all the extra features. While the Ninja V/V+ are End of Sale, clearly not end of support and with the software upgrade available not necessarily a need to purchase new hardware at this time.

[@ronbackal]

That's very good information, thank you! I feel my Sony FX3 internal footage just doesn't hold grading well, especially if I try to grade for HDR.

FX3's internal footage should hold well as long as you're not pushing it too hard like shifting reds to blue!

[@megthegirlonfire6715]

were going to be using the Sony FX3 looking at this simce its not really practical price wise to buy SD cards that most are almost as Expensive as this monitor SSD for 1TB. We plan to do 4k 120fps and at the best file recording for best dynamic range and smoothest footage, interally record would be SCine pp5 or PP8, Gamma would be Cine also. but not recording under Cinema Log for coloring. i belive its the inbetween from Slog 3 and the full Cinema Log? (have to go back and look) but If we record only on this SSDmonitor, is it reliable enough??? With out any issues!? Thats why SD cards are the most reiable because no skipping footage and you can have all your correct settings. asking for your opiniom?

Solid breakdown Dude! How does it work with NDI HD TX transmission? Does it count as an Atomos RemoteView where you have to use credits for transition, or can you connect wirelessly two Atomos Ninja directly via NDI HD TX transmission?

[@VictorLaforteza]

Thanks man! The NDI HD TX is different than the RemoteView (which uses credits). The NDI HD TX only transmits to a switcher. I believe you can transmit multiple ninja's to that same switcher. If I'm not mistaken, the NDI HD TX is a one time purchase upgrade and you can use it whenever without the use of credits. I haven't tested this so I'm just going off of what I know about it! The RemoteView however is TX and RX with the use of the connect modules. You can turn the new ninja (and ultra) as either TX or RX. You can even have multiple TX devices (you can change the layout on remoteview panel) to be shown to 4 devices whether that's another ninja, laptop, ipad, or phone. Hope that helps man!

[@CreateGreg]

@@VictorLaforteza thanks Victor for quick reply. I’m actually quite interesting in NDI HD TX capabilities as I’m not fancy paying credits to get video transmission. I hope I can use one Atomos Ninja contented to camera and being able to transmit video wirelessly to another one via NDI so it can be used as a director’s monitor. I can’t find answer whether it’s doable.

[@yourmagicfilm]

I also want to use it to send an image to iPad without paying for that with credits. One time pay, ok, but not constantly. @@CreateGreg

Bro, I'm gonna keep my atomos njnja v plus, those new ones has not significant differences. Atomos they need to fix some issues like the possibility to record 4k DCI 120 fps in Apple res hq, 422 not just in SDI RAW and make a new ninja v but with 2200 nits. Is noticeable they create a new Atomos to try to make money, doesn't think in make the improvement that the previous atomos did not have. Well I gonna wait to that improvement, otherwise I'll pass with those new babies.

[@VictorLaforteza]

Fair points! I feel like if someone is in the market for their first ninja the new ninja makes a bit more sense but for ninja V / V+ users, it's an upgrade that would be hard to justify depending on someone's needs.

[@morello90]

FINALLY an in-depth video about the new Ninja. I was wondering why there was pratically nothing out there... THANK YOU! One question if I may.: I have the new Ninja on my Canon R6 ii and for some reason EL-Zone and Arri false color are both disabled (grey) and I cant switch to them. Do you have by chance any clue why this would be? I might have to contact Atomos about this.

[@VictorLaforteza]

You’re welcome! And for the question hmmm I’m not too sure.. check the little settings in terms of inputs and your external monitor settings for the r6! Maybe there’s something there that’s causing it. Aside from that, check with Atomos!

[@morello90]

@@VictorLaforteza Thanks man. It was indeed "hidden" in the input tab. I had to activate "LOG/HDR" over "Legalize". I understand that gives me less acurate colors on the live preview, which shouldn't matter when I rely on false colors for exposure anyhow?! Is that somewhat correct? 🤣

[@jammaschan]

like I don't care what it does better/worse than the old ninja, the ultra's bronze/gold colour just makes me wanna get it

[@VictorLaforteza]

I didn't like it at first but it definitely grew on me! It looks like Apple's Starlight colour but a bit darker!

[@edjela]

So you telling me that I'm buying a monitor that I can't use to record internal 4k on my sony camera on pp8 while using the ninja as a regular monitor?????

[@VictorLaforteza]

You still can do it. The only issue is dual recording in prores (not raw)

[@castielvargastv7931]

Why you dont mentioned the price? Its very important to decide which one to buy.

[@VictorLaforteza]

Listed on the web

[@peekapeekabooboo]

no money to even afford its battery, yet i am watching this review :D

[@VictorLaforteza]

hahahah budget goals!

[@Velspire]

Bruh i shoot cine ei. good thing i didnt buy this monitor yet. could you keep us updated when they fix this issue? Thank you kuya :) PS I hit that bell icon.

[@VictorLaforteza]

Let's wait what Sony does with it!! I really hope they fix it... Thanks for the sub and that bell :)

[@bloodswarms]

Maybe my brain is just rotted, but I'm taking it that if I have a Sony A7 IV I can't record log footage to the SSD in the Ninja Ultra?

[@VictorLaforteza]

I think ProRes you can but raw you cannot

[@BanderaFilmsAndMusic]

Nice

[@azyzmakhavi1139]

There were many complaints that the Atomos Ninja V screen could not serve as a good color assessment tool. The fact is that its screen had a slightly distorted color rendering. It displayed everything in warmer, yellow tones than it actually was. Does the new Atomos Ninja have this problem?

[@VictorLaforteza]

same with the new models

[@petrub27]

nice. i remeber asking them why no upgrades for the old ninja, and they replied because of hardware limitation. after a while, they released a paid upgrade for the old ninja. shameful

[@OllieConnorsFilms]

I have the ninja V +. Works for me

[@7thHill112]

Wait what? They charge you per hour to use it as a wireless transmitter? That's horrendous

[@VictorLaforteza]

Yeah, most of their new wireless features require the connect module then a subscription or credits.

[@Swole_Cole_]

Like the $800 ninja ultra and the $400 connect wasn’t enough. Companies are only out here to rob people with subscriptions now. They don’t care about customers.

[@michelluong1208]

Hi, I have a question. My camera is connected to my new ninja but it is not using the full screen of the ninja. How do I change the setting to use the full screen of my monitor? Thank you!

[@VictorLaforteza]

you should turn off HDMI info display! That's if you have a Sony camera. Other brands, I'm not too sure how to do.

[@kaleyemerson]

We need EL Zone for ninja v!

[@VictorLaforteza]

1000001% !!!

[@enricosantucci1974]

A 1000 nits it was ok 4 years ago , not expectable today! 1000 nits outside! Still a great device, but didn't understand the 1000 nits!

[@gkochanowsky]

Why Atomos? Why? They figured out how to stream to the cloud but couldn't figure out how to stream to a USB drive? And still with the standard form factor SSD drives? It's like they are oblivious to what is happening to storage in the 2020's.

[@VictorLaforteza]

definitely would be nice to have other options

[@definingslawek4731]

You'd rather to m.2 drives yeah? Also clearly the chip isn't faster cause it boots even slower than before.

[@brandonlazo]

This is the most helpful review that I found. I wil buy my first ninja. the new one has the new tools incorporated arri and el zone or I have to pay

[@VictorLaforteza]

the new ones (gold) will have it installed already!

[@brandonlazo]

@@VictorLaforteza thank you so much! Should I update to the latest version before registering to get the codecs? because I read that several people had problems with the updates

[@VictorLaforteza]

@@brandonlazo yep! always good to update first.

[@dariusrevera7809]

you need to enable RAW out...

[@VictorLaforteza]

I think you missed the point. The problem is dual recording with different codecs on the ninja. Not all the time I want to shoot in RAW on the ninja and again, this works before the LOG shooting mode update.

[@DucDigital]

A disappointing update. You have to wonder what they did over the past 5 years to this product line. The harddrive cardy is still sticking out, the build is still bulky. New UI but a slower boot time. And the old one is already very slow. Might as well save your money and grab the old device.

[@countdracula2533]

Can they record 1080p 30fps?

[@VictorLaforteza]

Yup!

[@KeithSklower]

@@VictorLaforteza The monitor supports 1080p 30fps, but some cameras will not output it (like the Sony A7S3). I have both that and an older lumix S1 which quite happily outputs 1080p 30fps.

[@AlexMelendez]

Does the EL zone & arri false colour come included in the new ninja/ninja ultra or do u have to pay for them like the old ninja v?

[@VictorLaforteza]

they come included on the new ones.

[@vladyslavlitvin8200]

Is the noise level of the new Ninja the same as the Ninja V?

[@VictorLaforteza]

Yes same

[@vladyslavlitvin8200]

@@VictorLaforteza And the same heating? I just don't understand the difference between a Ninja V, considering what the Ninja V got OS 11.

[@VictorLaforteza]

@@vladyslavlitvin8200 yep same product just different features. You're only paying the the new Cloud features if you go with the new one especially if you get the paid firmware update. That's the only difference :D
