Overview

The Atomos Ninja 5 is a 5.2-inch HDR monitor-recorder designed for filmmakers, videographers, and content creators who want to bypass their camera's internal recording limitations while gaining a high-quality on-set monitoring solution. It connects via HDMI to a wide range of cameras and records directly to SSD media in professional codecs including Apple ProRes, Avid DNxHD, and H.265 (HEVC) at resolutions up to 4Kp60. For cameras that support it, the Ninja 5 can also capture Apple ProRes RAW at up to 6Kp30, delivering maximum flexibility in post-production. The HDR touchscreen display provides accurate exposure and color monitoring, giving you confidence that what you see on set translates to the edit suite.

Running the updated AtomOS 11 firmware, the Ninja 5 benefits from improved memory management, faster touch responsiveness, and new workflow tools. RecordAssist and PlayBackAssist let you schedule and automate recording and playback operations in advance, streamlining repetitive tasks during production. The integration with Atomos Connect is a standout feature, enabling wireless screen sharing with other Atomos devices, iPads, Macs, and Apple TVs — either locally on the same network or remotely from anywhere via Atomos RemoteView. This makes it a practical tool for directors, clients, or remote collaborators who need to see what the camera sees in real time. The Ninja 5's compact, lightweight build ensures it won't overburden your rig, whether mounted on a cage, gimbal, or handheld setup.
