AtomosShinobi II HDMI 4K Monitor with HDR Touchscreen, All Day Battery Life, and Lightweight Design (Black)

A perfect monitor to pair with the FX3. It has the functionality with the FX3 for Touch to Focus, the screen is bright enough to see during bright sunny days. It's very reasonably priced and high quality for what you great.

Loving this monitor so far. Coming from a cheap Feelworld, this feels leaps in bounds better, from the build quality to the functions. The brightness in direct sunlight can be a bit rough, but overall it's still usable. I'm using this with an FX3 and the touch functionality and camera controls have been great. I've even got a v-mount to dummy battery powering the monitor and the monitor powering my camera and it seems to work just fine. Overall, I think it's worth the price if you're willing to skip out on the RAW recording that their other monitors offer.

I came from a Ninja V looking for a lighter, lower-power option for monitoring only, and Atomos OS 11 seemed like a great fit. After unboxing and loading my LUTs, I was barely 25 minutes in before the monitor felt hot enough to burn my fingers, this was even while using a dummy battery. I reached out to support, and their only suggestion was a firmware update, which I had already done before setting up my LUTs. After that, Atomos went silent with no real resolution. In short, this monitor runs way too hot, has a poor thermal design, and lacks real usability for a professional workflow. No surprise it’s being discounted… It’ll likely stay that way until they fix the issue. Until then, it’s unusable for any professional.

I use a NP950 battery and it feels too heavy and big for shinobi ii. Shinobi is surprisingly light and thin that I don't feel durable to use a big battery on the back for long term use. Shinobi ii was fully plastic so that made me think like that. If you are using a lighter battery, it shouldn't be a problem for you. I went with viltrox as it feels more comfortable and don't have to worry about unproportion weight issue.

Good monitor but gets very hot and the mounting point is weak. Mine is 6mo and there is pieces of plastic from the mounting point floating around inside my monitor now

Super clear. Sturdy build. Lots of features. Works well in direct sunlight. Can’t go wrong with this brand or product. So many use cases for this. Pairing this with a fx3.

So far, I’ve used it on 3 shoots with my Panasonic GH6 and it works great. Sharp and lightweight.I am going to add a screen protector, had a close call in a crowded shooting area, but overall very happy. It’s a great price point with a lot of features. It’s only HDMI in, so if you have more professional cameras it may not have as much functionality as you need, but fits my needs perfectly.

The Atomos Shinobi ii is more than a monitor. It offers touch screen control for focusing and exposure control with compatible cameras. It has a 5", 1920x1080 screen, with 1500 NIT brightness, which can be seen even on bright day if shaded from direct sunlight. The LCD screen on most cameras is useless in that situation. It connects to the HDMI port of a camera for video, and to the USB-C port of the camera for remote control. The Shinobi has an headphone port for monitoring audio, and a LANC port for additional control (e.g., zoom and shutter). It's features are continually upgraded through firmware.
