Live prices and creator coverage for the Atomos Ninja Ultra 5.2" 4K HDMI Recording Monitor - everything in one place.
Our editorial take on the Atomos Ninja Ultra 5.2" 4K HDMI Recording Monitor
The Atomos Ninja Ultra is an on-camera recording monitor built for professional video workflows. With a 5.2-inch IPS LCD panel and 1000 nits of brightness, it offers clear monitoring in various conditions. Its ability to record in formats like Apple ProRes Raw and H.265 directly positions it as a tool for high-quality production, supporting up to 8Kp30 RAW input via HDMI.
While the monitor features a 1920 x 1080 resolution display and HDR support for monitoring, its primary recording capability through HDMI 2.0 is up to 4Kp60. The optional Atomos Connect module allows for expandability with LAN and SDI connectivity, which could be an additional investment.
The Ninja Ultra's aluminum and ABS plastic construction, along with active cooling, suggests a durable design for field use. Considering its feature set, it aims to serve as both a capable monitoring and recording solution for filmmakers and video professionals.
