Atomos Ninja Ultra
A pro-tier 5.2-inch, 1000-nit monitor-recorder — the Ninja V successor — that captures ProRes RAW and ProRes from HDMI hybrid cameras. The bright daylight-viewable screen and RAW recording make it a strong on-camera pick for mirrorless shooters. Native SDI rigs are the gap: SDI requires the optional Atomos Connect accessory, so HDMI-first setups get the most out of it as-is.
