The Atomos Shinobi II 5.2″ HDMI HDR Monitor brightens your on‑camera viewing with a compact, creator‑focused design. It is made for vloggers, photographers, and content creators who need a bright, reliable monitor in a small form factor. Compared with the original Shinobi, it now offers a slimmer body and a display that is 50% brighter at 1500 cd/m². In addition, it adds USB‑C camera control with status indicators, the new AtomOS 11 interface, USB‑C PD power input and output, a locking HDMI and USB‑C adapter, updated image tools, and ultra‑low power consumption so it can run all day on a single battery.
Camera Control
Use the USB-C port to control the latest mirrorless or DSLR cameras from Canon, Panasonic, Sony, and Z CAM’s E2 line. There is also a 2.5mm LANC port on the side for additional control compatibility.
NOTE: This will expand with future support for cameras from FUJIFILM, Nikon, OM System, and Sigma with firmware updates.
Touch to Focus
NEW: With AtomOS 11.03.00, you have the ability to set up the camera’s focus point directly via the touchscreen. Compatible cameras include:
- Canon: EOS R6 Mark II, EOS R1, EOS R5 Mark II, EOS R7
- FUJIFILM: GFX100, X-S20
- Nikon: Z9, Z8
- Panasonic: LUMIX S5 II, S5 II X
- Sony: a7 IV, a7S III, ZV-E10 II, FX3, FX30
Shutter Release
NEW: The shutter release function allows photo capture triggering right from the Shinobi II touchscreen. It is useful when you are shooting multiple exposures for HDR bracketing, focus stacking, or other similar workflows.
Camera Status
A camera status indicator allows you to keep an eye on the camera’s internal record settings, battery status, and remaining recording time. A red edge display shows when the camera is recording internally, whether triggered by the camera or from the Shinobi II.
AtomOS 11 & Advanced Image Tools
The Shinobi II includes the latest Atomos AtomOS 11, which introduces numerous new tools and features with a more logical layout and easy-to-navigate interface.
Use the Shinobi II interface to adjust your camera lenses’ aperture, shutter speed/angle, and ISO with its built-in exposure tools, such as false color (Atomos, ARRI, and EL ZONE colorized exposure modes), waveforms, zebras, or histogram, and achieve perfect exposure on every shot.
Brighter Display
The 5.2″ touchscreen display is 50% brighter than the Shinobi, measuring 1500 cd/m² peak brightness, making it easily readable whether you’re shooting indoors or in bright sunlight.
Input Signals
The Shinobi II features an HDMI 1.4 input that allows you to monitor signals in various resolutions and frame rates up to DCI/UHD 4K30 and up to 1080p60.
HDR & LUT Support
The HDR HLG and HDR PQ monitoring modes allow you to preview what your camera’s Log output might look like in HDR. Users can also upload up to eight custom LUTs to the monitor’s built-in storage to preview their shots with their own favorite looks.
Frame Guides
A variety of built-in cinema-style and social media-focused frame guides help compose your shots, including presets for 2.41, 2.35, 1.91, 1.9, 1.85, 16:9, 9:16, 4:5, 2:3, 1:1, 5:4, 4:3, 3:2.
Lightweight Design
The monitor has been designed with a slimmer form factor, weighing only 7.4 oz, and there are added locating holes alongside the 1/4″-20 threads for anti-twist mounting. A single L-series battery plate on the back has been placed in the center to improve balancing and maneuverability. The included HDMI/USB-C locking adapter allows you to use Atomos’ new line of locking cables to prevent disconnecting or pulling.
Power Options
There are multiple methods to power the Shinobi II, including an L-series/NP-F style battery, an optional battery eliminator (dummy battery) in combination with a DC barrel to D-Tap cable, or via a USB-C PD charger with 10W input. You can also charge/power your camera via USB-C PD 13W output while using Shinobi II’s camera control features.
