Atomos Ninja V
The original 5-inch, 1000-nit Atomos monitor-recorder, enthusiast tier at 58, valued for unlocking ProRes RAW capture from many hybrid cameras over HDMI. It's a proven choice for adding external RAW and a bright reference screen to a mirrorless rig. SDI cinema setups are out of scope — this is an HDMI-input device, so dedicated SDI workflows need a different recorder.
