Your Cameras best Friend

Today's camera sensors and lenses are quite spectacular, and we harness even large 5K+ sensors on professional video cameras to ensure you get the best from your camera - YES we support your make and model of Canon, Sony, Nikon, Panasonic, JVC, RED & ARRI.

SDI-based cameras simply require an Atomos Connect to convert from HD/SD SDI to HDMI.

With all this crammed into a tiny fully customized OS, we give you all you need to produce AC power, battery and charger, 2.5 HDD/SSD computer docking station - you will not believe what's on offer!

Construction

Designed using aircraft grade aluminium, the Ninja 2 delivers durability and portability. Locking mechanisms for each removable part means sturdy reliable operation. Weighing a mere 370grams the Ninja 2 is completely at home on top of any camera, whether in the studio or up a mountain.

Completely Custom

We don't believe in jigsaw-puzzling a best of breed product, we have designed every circuit, coded every function and invested thousands of hours in testing, quality control, design and manufacturing. We do not buy standard IP cores like codecs, we do not lease HDMI/SDI interfaces we write everything from scratch to deliver you a finely tuned thoroughbred video machine!

Unbelievably low power consumption

Consuming just 6 watts of power  that's nearly five times less than the nearest competitor - the Ninja 2 is perfect for battery-powered, in-the-field operation. Boasting no less than 4 power options, including the supplied NP series battery, DC power adapter for larger batteries, AC mains power and our patented Continuous Power dual battery system. You'll never be without power when you need it most.

Affordable 2.5 HDD or SSD

2.5 hard disks are the most affordable digital storage on the planet. They outperform SSDs, SD card, SxS and P2 cards in terms of cost and reliability for video use. In normal video shooting environments the 2.5 HDD is your new tape. Extremely low running costs, long record times (up to 30 hours) and limitless supply. For those vibration sensitive shoots, around the racetrack or in the helicopter, we of course support modern SSDs.

Atom OS4

The AtomOS 4 operating system driving the Ninja 2 allows access to all functions through a fast and responsive touch-screen interface. SmartMonitor helps you accurately assess focus and exposure with focus peaking, adjustable zebra, false colour twin mode, blue-only exposure check and adjustments for individual filters. SmartLog allows you to get started on post-production in the field by logging and pre-editing your footage on the fly.

Record Direct from the Sensor

The Ninja 2 records direct from the sensor giving you the best quality from your great lens and camera, no matter when it was made. Old and new cameras alike can get the benefit of higher quality recording, enhancing new cameras and breathing new life into older ones.

Synced Rec Trigger and Timecode

Triggering record and capturing timecode in sync with your camera is essential to smooth production with external devices. We have teamed up with all the leading camera manufacturers, including Canon and Sony to give you frame accurate timecode and start/stop triggers over HDMI from popular HDMI cameras like the Canon C100, 5D MKIII, 1DC and the Sony FS700.
