    hey man first time watching one of your videos, great work! Can you please tell me/share links of the cables you used to set up the Shinobi? I suppose it's all plugged by the V-Lock battery?
    I use a D-Tap to dummy buttery to plug the camera, what more can I do? I don't know anything about atomos so I have 0 accessories and don't know what to buy.
    I also need to understand the cable lenght cause I never got a monitor before today - coping the Shinobi II.
    Thank you!

      Hey there, thanks for watching! The cables are all Kondor Blue. For example the coiled HDMI cable is geni.us/sPlUg5o and here’s the V-Mount plate geni.us/Vej0An and here’s a USB-4 cable geni.us/QjeAFa and here’s the S5II/S5IIx cage geni.us/KBPS5II and here’s the mondo ties, which are the little locks that hold everything in place geni.us/ajdJ - ultimately what you buy depends on the rig you’re building. It can take a while to rig out a camera just right, as you’ll take time deciding where to place items and handles and cables and so-on. It’s very personal. Best is probably to start with a cage and rails if you’re rigging that big, and start figuring out where you want to add things, and get the accessories for it as you go!

    That 65535 is a maximum numeric value for a 16 bit number. Seems that the external battery is proving a value that is above the threshold in the firmware and some type of overflow is happening or something.

      If you're shooting in Log, then you can add whatever LUT you like (or just use the built-in Rec709, which personally I think looks great). I only ever shoot in Log so can't really comment on if a standard profile appears more contrasty or not. Regardless of the image on display though, the only real truth is the scopes.

    • @photojoseph

      If you’re shooting 4K60 then the output for monitoring needs to be downscaled, which will by default happen automatically. If you look in HDMI output settings you’ll find ability to force a resolution or let it automatically adapt to whatever is plugged in.

    I almost pulled the trigger for this until I realized it was NOT a recorder. That would have been a too-good deal when it comes to camera gear. I just want to record 10-bit out for my Fujifilm X-S10, but there aren't recorders for my budget that do this. I regret not buying an X-T4 instead. Well, the difference would have been pretty much the same as Atomos Ninja V or Blackmagic Video Assist 12G.

    • @photojoseph
      @photojoseph  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Ah yeah, definitely not a recorder. I think the Ninja V is a better value and you can probably get one used for cheap. They’ve been around for a while. I really like the video assist as well but it can be expensive. Of course if you want ProRes raw or Blackmagic raw then that dictates the recorder you buy.

Try taking a photo and I just end up with a black screen that I can only get rid of by disconnecting the HDMI cable, it even bricks my R6mk2 until I remove the HDMI. I don't even try using the USBC cable to control my camera as it has only given me issues. I don't think the software on these is all that great.

    • @photojoseph
      @photojoseph  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      As far as I know, calibration has always been available on pretty much all of the Atomos monitors. The Shinobi II makes it easier because it has a USB port so you can plug the calibration tool directly into it. With the other monitors, you need to install software on your computer and use a special USB to 2.5mm cable which is available from Atomos. I’m actually going to do a video on this pretty soon.

Tried with S5ii and S5iiX…on both cameras when usb c connected it says its connected and will use power via the usb c….but instead of that it uses the internal battery….i see it because it drains.

      @RandallJacobson-bz6gq cameras can handle PD in two different ways. They can either actively power the camera, or they can only charge the battery when the camera is turned off.
