thank you!
Congrats!

Congrats!!!
Appreciate it!!!
Let me get this straight so when you reached 1k subscribers you didn't get monitized straight away because you didn't get 4k watch time is that correct?
Yep! Exactly. You’ve gotta be at 4,000 watch hours within the last 365 days PLUS having at least 1,000 subscribers.
@@RossBarnett02 oh reason I asked is because I have a second channel got past 1k subscribers and hit 4k watch time and both things happens almost same day so I got a bit lucky. Maybe when I hit 1k subscribers on here I won't be as lucky as last time lol
Congratulations!!!! Keep it up and proud for you.
Appreciate that man!
I have written books. I received 14 cents for the Portuguese release of one of my books in Brazil. I still remember HOW COOL that enough people in Brazil triggered any royalty payment. Even if they are small, you gotta love the reware. Congats Mr. B.
I'm kinda in the same boat with the thought process - honestly it's just cool that anyone watches this content enough to warrant any kind of monetary return. I'm pumped regardless! Thank you for all the support along the way!
I like the wireless match with the LH5p monitor and the Sony Fx30 I can do all my setting on the monitor and its small to travel while still bright enough to see in the sun once more the tools for exposure are great and the power options plus the strong build. Its still rocking fa me in 2025.
Heck yeah! Having gear you know you don't want to replace anytime soon is the best. I think I definitely would have stuck with the LH5P II if I didn't already own the LH7P. Both of those monitors are so similar it only makes sense for me to keep one of them.
@@RossBarnett02 Yes deffo. That money made can buy somthing else.
I got this for 159
Heck yeah! 🤙🏼
Hey just wondering since this is my first atomos monitor. Is there screen sharpening like for the smallhd?
I don’t believe so. I’m not entirely sure what screen sharpening is though.
1. Concerning camera control, what happens when I hit the functions button on my Sony camera, does the function menu show up on the Shinobi II? 2. Is there a way to turn Autofocus on and off with the Shinobi II 3. I use the rode wireless go microphones with my Sony A7IV. Is there a way to control the microphone levels with the Shinobi II?
@@dspoet1 1.) nothing happens. Function menu is a set menu inside the Sony camera and doesn’t sent over HDMI. 2.) nope. I’d imagine we will see this with future firmware update when touch to focus is released, but currently no controls over focus. 3.) no. The wireless go system wouldn’t be connected to the Shinobi in any way.
Hi, my Shinoby II does not update, it does not see the SD card, the only one I have is 64 GB, what type of SD card did you use? Do you have a PC or Mac? Thanks.
Try formatting your SD card to FAT32 or NTFS. Atomos is specific on how your cards are formatted. It should update instantly when booting up.
Thanks for the video. I use the Acsoon 4K a lot with my iPhone 15 Pro, as it maybe the best portable monitor. Would be curious to try and compare with the Shinobi II
That would be a good comparison - using your phone as a monitor is definitely convenient. The only thing holding me back from utilizing the SeeMo or even Ninja Phone is just how much I use my phone when working. I'm always using it for notes, taking calls, texting other videographers - IDK if I could commit to having my phone as a dedicated monitor all the time.
Thanks Ross for the Shinobi II reviews! FYI I am still not getting consistant video recording behavior on my Canon R7 after the update. Wondering if other Canon models or R7 owners have this issue. Created a ticket with Atomos support. Scenario not working: Video recording triggered on Canon R7 while Shinobi II is on tools screen: the red recording frame doesn't doesn't show up on the Shinobi screen. When I navigate to camera control screen, the red frame appears for a second and disappears, the video recording on Canon R7 stops automatically. Scenario working: Video recording triggered on Canon R7 while Shinobi II is on the camera control screen: the red recording frame show up on the Shinobi screen as expected. When I navigate to the tools screen, the red frame remains as expected, the video recording on Canon R7 continues until stopped buy tapping the Shinobi screen or pressing the Canon R7 trigger button.
Thanks for the comment! I'm seeing something similar, but not with any issues like you're describing. If I turn the camera + monitor on and go right into recording - the recording bars on the shinobi II won't show up until I toggle into camera controls for the first time. But, after I load camera controls once - the recording bars always show up regardless of which menu I'm in. Unfortunately I've seen some issues with the Lumix cameras as well in this comment section. Seems like a fix for Sony was a step in the wrong direction for Lumix/Canon... Hope your ticket can be resolved!
And which 1, 2, and 3 dials were you referring to?
The "custom modes" dials on the top of the A7SIII camera. I have 1 set to 4k/30 with a 1/60 shutter, 2 set to 4k/60 with a 1/125 shutter, and 3 set to 4k/120 with a 1/250 shutter. This issue was resolved in a recent firmware update!
Does this monitor have touch focus?
Not currently. Atomos has said they are working on Touch to Focus, but it is not currently available. As far as the issues in this review - the problems have been fixed in a recent firmware update
Do you like the Atomos Shinobi II than the Portkeys LH7P?
Tough call. I'm keeping both. The Shinobi II will be my main monitor from here on out on my handheld rig. However, there are rare cases where the wireless camera control will come in clutch, and the added benefit of having an HDMI out is a win for the LH7P. So, yes? The Shinobi II is a better monitor for me, but the LH7P will still be close by if the shoot calls for it.
Did it work instantly? Mine won’t update
Try formatting your SD card to FAT32 or NTFS. Atomos is specific on how your cards are formatted. But yes, it should update instantly.
@@RossBarnett02 thanks
@@RossBarnett02 now it works👍 thx mate
Are you able to display the sony user interface on the monitor so things like the level gauge and focus area are visible?
not the level gauge, and currently not the focus area. Focus peaking is built within the monitor controls though - but, not having the focus area.
Those bezels... If they made 7" version of this monitor with size of Portkeys 7" + touch focus (for Canon also, plz Atomos!) I would buy it. Also would be nice if they add touch focus to recorders, then I would choose recorder probably.
@@sleepvisionstudio3884 I could see them slowly start to introduce camera control into their entire lineup. It would make sense for the future.
Would you definitely recommend this over the extra screen size of the LH7P you were using? They're like the same size physically but such bigger bez on the shinobi :(
@@spencerfr1 They both have their place. But I will be using the Shinobi II on my main handheld wedding day rig from here on out. I’m still keeping the LH7P for larger sets when I need a loop HDMI out, or may need the camera control feature to be wireless.
thanks for this review! i decided to get the Manbiliy on Amazon after seeing your video. it's only $60 which makes me think they may be trying to clear it out for a new version. i was seriously considering the iFootage Cobra 3 but the price was a big turnoff for me. the Manbily looks like a much sturdier option and if I just need a monopod without feet, i have my ProMaster monopod always with me. i'm hoping this will also act as a light stand and a tripod for overhead product shots with legs that have better clearance under a table set up. i am hoping this will be the three in one solution monopod/tripod i've been looking for and save quite a bit of money, and gear as a result!
@@ckdesignlab heck yeah! Love that.
Update, this firmware introduced a bug with my lumix s5iix.. When pressing record on the shinobi screen the camera does start recording but on the shinobi screen it does not say that it's recording and does not show the red line on the borders of the monitor. If i interrupt the recording from the shinobi screen the camera stops recording and on the shinobi screen I can see for a brief moment the red line on the border of the screen that was supposed to be there when actually recording.
ooof, I'd fill out a contact form for Atomos and go ahead and take a video of the issue and send it their way. If you need the original firmware I should be able to send it your way to revert if needed.
Start up times are so underrated, thanks you mention. Yet another aspect to take in consideration in search of the perfect camera. I have the BM5 III, also mostly keep camera on and it's probably half your start up time.
@@Superjeanmarc my search for the perfect camera monitor has been long and extensive. Still not finished yet 😎
@@RossBarnett02 And will probably never finish .. in this capitalist system, no brand will ever wan to make the perfect monitor so we keep buying them until we've depleted all natural ressources.. Sad, but true.
Man I love your channel. SO difficult to find honest, non biased / corrupted review.. Hopefully you stay like this when you reach 10K sub and brands starts to approach you. I can't agree more with you on this holy grail search of a great monitor.. this is just unbelievable .. It also seems the UI designers have never used their product themselves.. The LH7P was on my radar too but its 1000 nit only... I do mostly outdoor filming and that seems not bright enough. ... I own the Portkeys BM5 III which I've been gnarly happy with, but also miss that "its recording"-frame.. or even camera controls.. If Sony would make a monitor, we would probably have touch focus but also a crappy UI and very steep price..
I appreciate that! Hopefully the content doesn't change as the channel grows. I just really enjoy discussing the actual gear I use and the things I actually know about - which tends to be less technical and more practical. If you like the LH7P, but need a brighter display, I'd say go with the LH5PII - it's identical to the LH7P software wise, has wireless camera control , but with a 5.5" display at 2200 nits. I purchased one about 3 days before the Shinobi II release, and ended up liking the Shinobi II a lot more for my workflow. Working on a video about it now.
@@RossBarnett02 Will definitely watch your video.. I'm tempted by the Shinobi II but wanna be sure about certain things.. like powering.. I'm afraid to be confused. Can you confirm that you can can connect the monitor to a V-lock battery with the (non-included) battery eliminator and then use the monitor as a bridge and power the camera via the USB-c cable without any battery drain. If all this works, can you tell me what cable is used to connect the monitor (battery eliminator) to a V-lock? Is the cable included with the eliminator and can it connect in DC 8v to the V-lock (I find D-tap, too bulky). Thanks again man,
@@Superjeanmarc How long are you wanting to record for? On my Sony A7SIII - I do not have battery drain from the camera when connected to the Shinobi II via USB-C. I just ran a test with an hour and a half long recording in 4k/30 (Smallrig V99 battery drained 25%, camera + monitor stayed with full power). I would imagine this will run until the card is full (3hrs) or until the V-Mount + Camera battery dies (estimating 6hrs for v99 + additional 1-2 hours for internal battery). This is utilizing the AC adapter for the Shinobi listed in my Shinobi II review video.
@@RossBarnett02 With your test, there is no doubt that there is no battery drain if your internal battery remained full. Thank you so much for the test. I assume the guy that mentioned this issue wasn't using the appropriate cable. That can happen. thanks again for the hassle of testing this.
Why this "Thank you Atomos"? They just fixed their own Bugs...so pls don´t celebrate this "let´s fix-it later strategy" of any company. As customers we should expect finished and tested products. Anyway....thank you for adressing this issues.
@@MrDawidson818 True, it should have been correct on release. I agree. BUT I think I give them some slack with this because no other company out there is doing it yet (wired camera control via USB-C to mirrorless cameras). I think if it was easy every monitor company would be doing it. So, I’m giving them some slack.
@@RossBarnett02 Shure. That´s why companies develop new Products with new Features. They want to sell it, we want to buy it. But if they rush and sell us unfinished products, nobody wins. And....If Atomos can fix the bugs so quickly, why not to fix it before? Anyway...keep rocking it, great channel!
Appreciate the video highly you definitely sold me on the monitor when I was 75% sure 😂. Just 2 main things When you say I need to add a MPF adapter to get DC power is this something seperate I need to purchase as well and is it a necessity? Also I heard about camera to monitor delay being a thing is that also true on this monitor?
@@ShotbyCD not a necessity. Just, if you want to power the monitor with a V-mount battery or wall outlet - you’ll need to purchase an adapter. However, if you just want to use it with standard NP L Series batteries they work just fine as is. There is no noticeable delay with this monitor.
@@RossBarnett02coming back because I legit forgot to ask but which V mount battery are you using for the rig or which would u recommend buying

Good that bugs are being fixed but this product was certainly half baked at launch. Wanted to love it but lots of bugs for me on my Canon cameras. I had to return it. I could not wait for the promise of FW updates. And I own an original Shinobi 5 and 7 as well as Ninja V+, never had any issues like the Shinobi v2. I do like Atomos products per se… but definitely not finished yet. Bit the bullet and bought SmallHD Cine 5. 😬
@@imagesbyrina nice! Does the Cine 5 offer camera control to your Canon camera?
I don't know why are you thanking them? They should not launch a product with so many basics issues, but its far easier (and cheaper) for customers to be guinea pigs and find bugs than invest in proper R&D.
@@Votjko all fair points. all fair points.
Exactly i am having issues with motion blur when using slog3 and lut. Atomos is replying real slow, 1 time a day. I feel like they released the shinobi ii too fast
I’ll buy one if they add touch to focus
@@marcotine5847 I’ll for sure update the video if they add touch to focus.
My biggest gripe with Sony cameras and external monitors have been the cropped view when you want to see settings displayed on the external monitor. With the new shinobi, do on monitor settings reflect what’s happening when you change iso/aperture/shutter settings? So I know you can change them on the monitor, but wondering if you change on camera if it will reflect that on monitor screen. Essentially giving full monitor coverage while showing the camera exposure settings. Hope that makes sense!
@@AtomicPixel yes. With the way I shoot, I rarely adjust my camera settings on the monitor itself. I’m always handheld changing WB, ISO, Aperture with the camera and watching it reflect on the monitor. The Shinobi II is very fast with reading changes from the camera.
@@RossBarnett02 sweet! Thanks for the feedback :)
This is useless to me unless they do something different, like Touch to focus. And i hope they can implement that feature correctly. I’ll never buy another monitor unless it has that feature in it or the one i have breaks.
@@DrL33productionsunderstandable - there’s definitely some videographers out there that rely heavily on touch to focus features.
@@RossBarnett02 not saying it’s a bad product either. I just have one like it that is a lot cheaper! There are other cheaper alternative. I just want something with touch to focus.!
@@DrL33productions I’m interested! what product offers touch to focus for cheaper?
@@RossBarnett02 i have no idea, because i said nothing like that out there as of yet. All i am saying is the features in this monitor are already out there. They all do not offer touch to focus as of yet. So i see no point on getting something this expansive with no touch to focus.
I wish it would work with Canon R5C.

Wasn't even planned honestly. Just a live reaction of my soul rejoicing from within 😅
@@RossBarnett02 full disclosure - I'm actually with Atomos and I have to say your song made me very very happy. We've been following your journey with Shinobi II and honestly it was your video that highlighted the updates required, so yeah, thank you so much for letting us know and double thank you for letting your audience know we fixed those issues. Lots of reviewers don't go back to inform their viewers when things are fixed...
Props to Atomos and props to you for being the only CZcamsr to address those issues. It seems that your videos made Atomos fix those bugs faster.
I appreciate that! Does this make me a real CZcamsr now? I've always dreamed of this day.
This is great. How about the battery drain when powering the camera from a V-lock going tru the Atomos? Some testers reported that although the camera seemed powered, the internal battery slowly drained and ended up depleting even though it was connected to the monitor. The tester was using an FX3. Did you experience that?
I've shot 2, 12 hour wedding days with this monitor (250gb of footage throughout the day) and haven't had a depleted battery at all. Granted, I wasn't continuously recording.. but, some takes were 30+ minutes. For what I do (multiple clips throughout an entire day) I don't see any battery drain at all.
@@RossBarnett02thanks ! This might be a deal breaker then
I am 100 percent ordering this now. I was on the fence with the bugs, but there is no reason not too now. If they bring in touch to focus then it is a bonus in my opinion. Totally not a requirement for me, but would be a nice to have.
@@jamesmcconnon2 I feel the same exact way. This monitor is 100% for me now. Touch to focus would make it 120% but I can live without that as I never used it a lot before.

@@RossBarnett02 on specs and based on your previous video, it should be perfect for me too (and now it's even better!)
"it does not' I laughed out loud on that one If Atomos releases touch to focus before the new Viltrox Monitor releases then I'll buy it cause as of now I dont have the incentive to go Atomos (current ninja v owner)
@@B-Moye 😂😂😂
Dude this is awesome!👏
@@mirrorlessmemory it very much is!! I’m super pumped!!
Got this on pre order in the UK, your videos have been filling the gap while I wait for it to ship, so thank you. I manually focus a lot of the time, why would I benefit from touch to focus?
You probably won't benefit from it much if you don't already use touch to focus on your camera. I tend to not use touch to focus that much, so I'm full send with the Shinobi II. However, I mention it because it's the ONLY feature holding this monitor back when it comes to full camera control. And, the only feature where Portkeys LH5PII takes the win.
@@RossBarnett02 Yeah I see your point 👍🏻 what's your experience like with the atomos focus peaking?
