Atomos has released the Shinobi, a new super bright 5in 1920x1080 HDMI monitor designed with vloggers and photographers in mind.
The Atomos Shinobi weighs just 200g / 7oz thanks to its polycarbonate body and uses the same HDR display and color processing technology found in Atomos` popular Ninja V monitor/recorder. It features a 1000nit screen for easy viewing in bright situations, has a pixel density of 427PPI, and includes a headphone on the side of the device to add external recording, even if the camera being used doesn`t have one built-in.
Atomos says the Shinobi comes color calibrated straight from the factory, but also includes calibration support using Atomos` free software and the X-rite i1Display Pro probe. It features a six-hour battery life on a single Sony NP-F750 battery, which is cleverly placed in the middle of the device to help keep it balanced on top of cameras.
The device features Atomos` AtomOS 10 touchscreen interface and all of the features that come with, including focus peaking, histogram, zebras, waveforms, guides, markers and magnification. There`s even a mirrored option for vloggers who will have the monitor facing backwards on their device.
Despite having just a 1920x1080 display with 60fps support, the Shinobi`s HDMI port can actually accept signals up to 4K (4096x2160) at 30fps. The screen displays 10+ stops of dynamic range when being used with Log or HLG HDR video and built-in gamma presets are included to match popular camera systems when shooting Log or HLG.
Up to eight LUTs can also be installed directly onto the Shinobi using its built-in memory, with the ability to add even more using the SD card slot. Once installed, the LUTs can be switched on-the-fly to compare one look to another.
The Atomos Shinobi is available now from B&H and authorized Atomos retailers for $399 USD.
