Shinobi II

Mine just overheating when I turn it on

Another vote for shinobi II. You get touch to focus and can put a hood over it. I have used it for 3+ hours of on-time in direct sunlight on 95°+ days and not had an issue. Batteries go fast, but if you’re using a vmount or other big battery to power your rig it will route power to the fx3 through the usb-c cable you’re already using for controls. Only issue I’ve had with the shinobi II is if I’m shooting log and want cine EI or cine ei quick. The onboard controls won’t move the iso between high and low base. In flexible iso or non-log shooting it’s fine and can control easily.

I have the atomos shinobi II, I used it on my FX3, and now on my FX6. It’s been great, nice large display, plenty bright, exposure tools and it’s pretty affordable. With new firmware updates last year, it now has camera control for Sony cameras.

Former Ninja V owner who bought the Shinobi II. The Shinobi is lighter. It has an SD card slot for firmware updates which is more accessible to most getting into the system over SSD’s. The camera control functions are great. I recommend getting the smallrig cage with sunhood so you can see the screen super easily outdoors.

The Shinobi does? I haven’t had any issues with that or the ninja v when I had that.

I have a ninja V and I’m use to the Atomos systems, if I were to buy one now it would be the shinobi ii. I recommended my friend to get it and she loves it. I’m not sure about other brands, maybe other people can chime in. There’s feelworld and others

I have an Atomos Shinobi I'll let go of for cheap. What's "budget" in your world?
