You failed to mention two big concerns. The overheating issue after thirty minutes of operation, the screen gets very, very warm. You, once you start recording, you cannot change exposure on the monitor screen. It will stop the camera. Record a big issue if you are doing long takes such as a wedding I. Returned mine based on these two concerns.
I didnt have much time with the Shinobi II, so didn't really notice the exposure limitation while recording, good to know. I did notice it got a bit hot, similar to other monitors, but it did not overheat while I was using it.
Hey Michael, I don't currently see it in the compatible cameras list here www.atomos.com/compatible-cameras/?_products=shinobi-ii&_brand=canon and I can't say for sure, but given it's a newer model from Canon, I'd venture a guess that there is high likelihood it comes to the R5 II at some stage. Hopefully soon.
This should be available for soon I'm told. No dates yet, but I'd say in the coming week or two. Don't hold me to it, this stuff can change without notice.
Good questions, but recording functionality is in the Ninja line-up. I guess they'd want to segment their product line, but who knows maybe some of their future products will offer this.
@@VisualsCoUk, right, and I have a Ninja, but that doesn't offer camera control. So then it becomes the "which is more important to me" conundrum. It's the same conundrum I had when deciding between the differences between buying an FX3 or the FX6. It came down to internal stabilization or internal ND's. Now I kind of wish I'd gone with the 6 because of all of the extra stuff I've had to buy for the 3 to build it out, probably cost me more than if I'd gone with the 6 and suffered not have stabe.
all valid points. If camera control is to be a major feature going forward for Atomos products and I am assuming it would be, (I have no information or knowledge of upcoming products) one can probably assume they will implement it in future products. I dont know how much the Ninja V+ range is upgradeable and or if it will be getting the Camera Control functionality as an update/separate license , no idea. But it comes down to , as you said, whether this is a more important feature to you and if it will improve your current workflow.
@@VisualsCoUk the biggest issue I have is that if I want to record to my Ninja you have to enable raw out, which disables the Sony's built in screen. So tap to focus disappears. And I don't think they will be upgradable because they would require a control parameter, typically via USB, which they don't have

Thanks for the video. Will the camera control and Touch Focus also work with the new Canon EOS R5 Mark II?

Waiting until a touch focus update.

If the camera usb c port is usb port for shinobi how i will connect the camera with gimbal that need usb c port too?
This is a good question, at this stage you'd need to decide which one is more important to your workflow.
does it have el zone on rather than false color
The latest firmware update adds EL ZONE
Can it control blackmagic 6k/6k pro?
They are not listed in the supported cameras, so I'd say no at this stage.
Why can't we just get an all in one that controls the camera AND has the ability to record ProRes?

Either some sort of a USB-C splitter, if such thing exitsts, not sure to be honest. You will have to prioritise probably.
