OVERVIEW

Slimmer. Brighter. Camera control.

The slim, lightweight, high brightness, 5-inch 1500nit HDR monitor that’s perfect for vloggers, creatives and photographers

The next generation
30% thinner design
50% brighter HDR screen

Atomos has been developing amazing monitoring and recording technology for over a decade. Shinobi II has been redesigned with a new, slimline case and 50% brighter screen and still manages to pack all of our renowned HDR screen processing technology and professional monitoring tools.

Perfect for video and photography

Shinobi II will run all day on a single battery and offers a host of professional monitoring features. Set up your shots accurately using our advanced histograms, waveforms and videoscopes. A multi-tool Analysis View gives you all the essential info at a glance. There’s even a selfie Mirror Mode for vloggers. Shinobi II is the perfect accessory to improve any photo or video production.

Camera control

A much requested feature from original Shinobi users, camera control is now possible thanks to the addition of the USB-C connection.

Using specially designed on-screen sliders you can adjust white balance, lens aperture, shutter speed/angle and ISO. A red edge display indicates when the camera is recording internally, whether triggered by the camera or from the Shinobi II.

At launch, Shinobi II will be able to control most Canon, Panasonic, and Sony mirrorless cameras over USB-C, and all Z CAM E2 series models (LANC cable required, purchased separately). Cameras from Fujifilm, Nikon, OM System and SIGMA will be supported with future firmware updates.

Cable locking

Atomos has developed a unique and rugged locking ecosystem to maintain a secure grip on connected HDMI and USB-C cables and Shinobi II is supplied with a special bracket to facilitate this. With Atomos locking cables (purchased separately) it is the most robust capture cable system available today. Shinobi II is also fully compatible with standard, non-locking cables

A monitor that packs a punch

With its stunning 5-inch, 10-bit HDR/SDR display, Shinobi II lets you see your images clearly, even in bright daylight. The 1500 nit screen features a special anti-reflective coating and anti-fingerprint technology.

High dynamic range

The Shinobi II screen displays a stunning 10+ stops of dynamic range in realtime from Log/PQ/HLG signals. Combined with our unique HDR monitoring features, the Shinobi II simplifies the complexities of shooting Log and HDR, helping you to replicate post-production workflows at the moment when it matters most – while shooting. We look after the technology so you can focus on the image.

Calibrated, true-to-eye colors

Calibration is the key to a trustworthy monitor. Shinobi II can be calibrated with an X-Rite/Calibrite probe, or using the Atomos Calibrator app, for ongoing accurate HDR and Rec.709 monitoring. Accurate monitoring ensures reliable results.

Slender splendour

Shinobi is all about portability, and even though we’ve added more hardware functionality, we’ve redesigned and reshaped its body to keep the weight down to just 210 grams. Lightweight and elegant, Shinobi II is your camera’s new best friend.
