    I have had my Ninja V since it came out and it's an amazing piece of kit that I did not need. It is great to be able to use multiple cameras with the same SSD which makes workflow easier as you pointed out. It doers come in handy on my X-T3 if I need a front facing screen.

    I did the same, I put my a7iii in a small rig with the handle on top. Then the ninja on top of it. I found it adds enough weight that footage handheld comes out a little more stable. Most of all though just being able to shoot in 4k forever without worrying about it stopping recording is nice. Also, I think the screen on the ninja is much better when using manual lenses + focus peaking. Plus, just having a screen anyways is really helpful and it isn't that much more weight to be honest.

    Went through a similar "agonizing" time of debating whether or not to buy the Ninja V to go on my a6400. Then, Atomos dropped the price of the Ninja V by some $350 for a month or so. Managed to find the ONE left in stock in Vancouver and raced with money in hand. My trip from discovery to acquisition was about 2 1/2 years and a few crappy used monitors from FB Marketplace. Couldn't be happier that I now have this little beast of a screen.

    I got the Shugun 7, worth it for the face detect alone, but the image anlaysis features, XLR in, and codecs were a huge change in my workflow for the better that I didn't expect. Also adds a lot of needed video features that the Sony A9 is missing and allows me to shoot better matchable video along side my A7RIII.

    I've been using the Ninja V with my Canon 5D Mk IV for about a month now. Mainly I needed to get past the 30 minute recording limit (concert and dance performance shooting), but the Ninja's prores files are noticeably better than the files produced by the 5D, especially in low light/high ISO situations - less noise, no blown out highlights. It is almost like having an entirely new camera. I consider it money well spent.

    @rizzo-films 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hey Dunna Did It. Have you been able to test the external recording much on this camera since January? I'm curious about the benefits if there are any at all. I saw Gerald Undone's video on this exact topic and I wasn't too convinced. He used 4:2:2 as a way to examine banding but it is the bit depth that affects banding more than anything. 422 comes in most handy with chroma keying. Also, I'm curious to see examples like the one you mentioned here, if it improves color data within S-Log2 or 3 footage. And I'm VEEERY curious about what it does for skin tones. One of my least favorite things about grading S-Log in the a7III is how color data in skin tones falls apart when I use a LUT, even one designed for this gamma, and you get weird blotchy artifacts that either don't match the rest of the skin at all or are distinctly less saturated, creating a block of b&w in the middle of someone's cheek. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about, but wish I had a more technical description of it. If recording externally improves this, then buying the Ninja V would make some sense to me. Otherwise I see no benefit other than perhaps shooting green screen content, and using the monitor features, but then Atomos also sells external, camera-mounted monitors for less money. For work, I shoot on a GH5 and for interviews, where skin tones matter most, I shoot in 10bit 422. It does improve things, but I do sometimes find myself correcting similar blotchy artifacts, just not as much as on the a7III. Thanks, man!

      Dunna Did It Check your footage that you record at 422HQ - Resolve says the footage coming out of the a7iii is 10-bit and it certainly feels like it when grading

    • @dunnadidit
      @dunnadidit  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Really? I have graded a bit and it does feel like there's a bit more to it, but I figured that was the 4:2:2. I wonder if the file from the ninja v is 10 bit but the sony is only outputing 8 bit into it. Like upscaling 1080 to 4k... its still just 1080.

    • @dunnadidit

    Great explanation Dunna! I had the Ninja for a while, but it didn't really fit in my workflow so I sold it and got a drone instead. I felt that the drone would add more to the variety I could capture. The Ninja is amazing though! I had fun with it and I would be interested to see how you incorporate it into your workflow. I know about the ProRes saving time from having to convert it when you start the edit, but do you edit off the Ninja SSD? Transfer all the footage then start the edit? Like I said, I would be interested in a workflow video, and I bet there might be more than a few subscribers that find it interesting too. Cheers!

    • @dunnadidit

      I do about half and half (just using as a monitor vs recording) the prores files are so nice to work with but they are huge. If I know I’m going to be doing a long take, I’ll usually just go to the sd card. But if I need LOTS of space, I have a 1tb hard drive for the ninja so I can shoot for days if I need to. It’s nice and flexible!

    I have one, and it's great, however there are two main downsides imo:
    1. You can't record 120fps on the atomos, meaning if you like to shoot a combination of slowmo and regular footage, you will find yourself switching back and forth between the external recording and internal recording, which also requires you to unplug the atomos cord from your camera in order to have the sony's screen work.
    2. When recording externally, if you have a camera with duel sd cards, you are forfeiting the duel record feature, which for some professional work may be a deal-breaker and a good reason to record internally instead.

      It's all about how far you are pushing the colour grading and not having colour banding like in sky's after grading for example. You won't notice it otherwise. Unless you are doing TV broadcast, you do not need 422. But it's lovely to have if you can easily afford it.

So for months I researched and listened how various TH-camr said you only need the Ninja V if you need to record 4k 10bit 60fps and I didn't really care about the 10bit 60fps. In the end I went for it and bought the ninja v and the footage I now have to work with ( which is ProRes LT or HQ) make grading the footage and playback is so worth the cost. The end product that I get from the ninja v gives me a professional and cinematic footage that I was never able to get from the gh5 on it's own. So I get what you are saying . Great video .
