One of the most significant advancements in the Shinobi II is its camera control capabilities. Thanks to the inclusion of a USB-C connection, you can now seamlessly adjust key camera settings directly from the monitor. Using the intuitive on-screen sliders, you can fine-tune parameters such as white balance, lens aperture, shutter speed/angle, and ISO. This level of control not only streamlines your workflow but also allows you to make precise adjustments on the fly, ensuring that your footage is captured exactly as you envisioned.

Compatibility and Connectivity

The Atomos Shinobi II is designed to be compatible with a wide range of camera systems, including most Canon, Panasonic, and Sony mirrorless cameras, as well as the entire Z CAM E2 series. Future firmware updates will also add support for Fujifilm, Nikon, OM System, and Sigma cameras, further expanding the monitor's versatility.

In addition to its camera control capabilities, the Shinobi II offers a robust connectivity suite. The monitor supports 4K HDMI input, allowing you to monitor high-resolution footage in real-time. It also features HDR HLG and HDR PQ monitoring modes, enabling you to preview the Log output in HDR and make informed decisions during your shoots.

Uncompromising Image Quality

The Shinobi II's 5.2-inch, 1920 x 1080 capacitive touchscreen display is a marvel of image quality. Boasting a 10-bit panel with 1.07 billion colors, the screen delivers stunning color accuracy and a wide dynamic range. The monitor's AtomHDR mode provides up to 10 stops of dynamic range, ensuring that you can capture and preview the full spectrum of light and shadow in your footage.

To further enhance the monitor's precision, the Shinobi II supports both built-in and USB-based calibration. You can use the Atomos Calibrator app or a compatible X-Rite/Calibrite probe to ensure that the display is accurately calibrated, providing you with true-to-life color representation.

Robust and Reliable Design

The Atomos Shinobi II is built to withstand the rigors of professional use. Its polycarbonate construction ensures a lightweight yet durable design, weighing in at just 7.4 oz (210g). The monitor is also equipped with a locking HDMI and USB-C ecosystem, keeping your cables securely in place and minimizing the risk of accidental disconnections.

Powering the Shinobi II is a single Sony L-series battery, providing all-day runtime on a single charge. Alternatively, you can power the monitor via USB-C PD, allowing you to keep your camera and monitor charged simultaneously.

Advanced Monitoring Tools

The Shinobi II's monitoring capabilities are truly impressive, thanks to the AtomOS 11 interface. This intuitive software suite provides a wealth of tools to help you achieve the perfect shot, including focus peaking, 4:1/2:1/1:1 zoom, zebra, false color, frame guides, SMPTE safe area, grid markers, waveform RGB parade, vectorscope, and a flexible 3D and 1D LUT, profile, and preset support.

The monitor's "Analysis View" mode allows you to simultaneously monitor focus, exposure, and framing, giving you a comprehensive overview of your camera's settings at a glance. This feature is particularly useful when working in challenging lighting conditions or capturing fast-paced action.
