In the field with Ninja RAW

One small feature ended up changing the way Libby puts together her tutorial content, as it gave her an easy way to show viewers exactly what she sees in‑camera. Ninja RAW can record the camera’s display straight to the CFexpress Type B card in the monitor. “I loved being able to record the camera screen straight to the card. It’s so handy,” she says. “I’m always looking for ways to show my settings, and this was easily the best. For photography or cinematography tutorials, viewers can see exactly what the camera sees in real time. It’s brilliant for anyone making how‑to content, and I’ve had people tell me they really appreciate being able to see my screen.”

A rooftop soccer match in New York turned out to be the perfect example of where Libby would have missed key moments without the Ninja RAW. “I wanted to film really close to the ground, right at the level of the players and the ball. Because everything was happening so low, I couldn’t see the camera screen at all from that angle. The Ninja RAW ended up being my only screen, and I could tilt it into whatever position I needed on my gimbal arm. It let me capture some great low‑down moments,” she says.

Fast‑moving subjects were where the Ninja RAW’s touchscreen really proved itself. “The touchscreen made a massive difference for quick adjustments too, when you’re following unpredictable movements like wildlife or a sports game,” she says. She was also impressed by how long the monitor ran and how unobtrusive it felt on her rig. “Battery life is another highlight, noticeably better than other monitors I’ve used. The unit itself is neat, slick, and genuinely easy to use.”

By the end of the summer, Ninja RAW had settled so comfortably into Libby’s routine that she couldn’t imagine shooting without it. “At this point, I’d find it hard to do a shoot without this monitor,” she says. “It’s compact enough to carry anywhere, but the screen is still large and sharp enough to give a proper, detailed view. That means no surprises when you’re reviewing footage later. I highly recommend it; I absolutely loved this wee monitor.”
