Review on Atomos Ninja V: 4Kp60 10bit HDR Portable Monitor/Recorder - Daylight Viewable 1000nit | ATOMNJAV01 by Zach Sornsin

Revainrating 3 out of 5

A kind of expensive device that lacks some essential things.

Ninja V build quality is very good. The functionality meets most people's expectations. However, as it doesn't come with a sufficient HDMI cable to connect to the device. At least a compatible HDMI cable that is at least a foot and a half long and supports 4K 60p 10-bit. You know the giant mayor uses it for the cameras. If a mini HDMI is required, they may include a second cable or adapter. It feels wrong and it's annoying. The suggestion that the $30-$60 cable also needs to be purchased appears to be just a scam. Unlike the iPhone, they don't sell billions. It's quite a niche product. Include the correct cable to ensure proper operation. A simple umbrella hood would also be nice. It doesn't have to be complicated, just functional. It's a bit like selling an EVF camera, but you have to buy an eyecup and also a USB cable separately. It looks like disrespect to the customer.

Pros
  • Limited 1 year (3 years with product registration)
Cons
  • Other interesting options are available.
