Shinobi touchscreen monitors
Camera Control
Using intuitive, on-screen sliders you can adjust white balance, lens aperture, shutter speed/angle and ISO. A red edge display indicates when the camera is recording internally, whether triggered by the camera or from the Shinobi II, 7 II, or 7 RX. Both models can control most Canon, Fujifilm, Nikon, Panasonic, and Sony mirrorless cameras over USB-C, and all Z CAM E2 series models (LANC cable required, purchased separately).
Touch to Focus
Tap the Shinobi II, 7 II, or 7 RX touchscreen to have the camera automatically focus on your point of interest. Touch to focus takes advantage of camera focus modes such as focus tracking for effortless control and sharp images. Available with compatible cameras only.
Wireless monitoring
The integration of Wi-Fi connectivity provides a stable link between the Shinobi 7 RX and the TX component of Atomos’ TX‑RX wireless video system.
Choose the right Shinobi for the job
Content creators
Shinobi GO is Ideal for content creators / vloggers who need a bright, lightweight field monitor for a DSLR or mirrorless camera; social media filmmakers who shoot vertical/horizontal content for YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram; also travel filmmakers who need a portable monitor that doesn’t add bulk to their kit.
Event videographers
Shinobi II and 7 II are the perfect monitors for wedding, corporate, and event videographers who demand accurate exposure and focus monitoring; also commercial filmmakers using mirrorless cameras where precise color/HDR monitoring is crucial.

Cinematographers
Shinobi 7 RX is the go-to monitor for cinematographers needing a larger display for on-set framing, composition, and HDR preview; directors / producers on set, also focus pullers looking for a bigger screen when working with shallow depth of field or complex rigs.
Professional monitoring tools at your fingertips
All Shinobi models offer a suite of professional monitoring tools, all with simple one-touch operation, for focus, framing, and exposure. Tools include focus peaking, zoom (4:1, 2:1, 1:1), zebra, false color (ARRI and EL Zone™ colorized exposure modes only available on Shinobi II, 7 II, and 7 RX models), frame guides, SMPTE safe areas, grid markers, waveforms, an RGB parade, vectorscope, multi-view analysis, and flexible 3D/1D LUT support with profile and preset options (including .cube file uploads via SD card). Shinobi II, 7 II, and 7 RX provide anamorphic de-squeeze monitoring (2x, 1.8x, 1.79x, 1.65x, 1.6x, 1.5x, 1.33x, 1.25x) to correct the ratio for anamorphic lens setups.
Please see the comparison chart for the respective Shinobi models feature set.
EL Zone
All Shinobi monitors, with the exception of Shinobi GO, support EL Zone, a professional false color exposure tool that helps you see exactly how bright or dark different parts of your image are. Unlike traditional false color systems that use rough IRE ranges, EL Zone assigns specific colors to exact exposure values—based on stops of light, in the same way your camera sees exposure. It’s a precise and consistent way to expose your image correctly every time.
LUTS
All Shinobi monitors receive LOG signals from the camera and offer real‑time LUT (Look-Up Table) preview to approximate what the final graded image will look like in Rec.709. Custom LUTs (.cube files) can be loaded from an SD card and used in conjunction with the Shinobi’s built‑in monitoring tools for precise exposure control.
Crisp, bright, true-to-life display
High brightness
Both Shinobi GO and Shinobi II have a 1500nit screen, which is fine for daylight shooting, although in direct sunlight you may still need a sun hood (purchased separately). Shinobi 7 RX has a 2200nit screen, and Shinobi 7 II has an ultra-bright 2800nit display, both of which are viewable even in bright sunlight.
High Dynamic Range
You can view 10+ stops of dynamic range from Log/PQ/HLG signals. Shinobi’s unique HDR monitoring features help you simplify the complexities of shooting Log and HDR, because it is possible to replicate post-production workflows when it matters most – while you are shooting.
High fidelity
Calibration is the key to a trustworthy monitor. Shinobi II, 7 II, and 7 RX monitors can be calibrated with Calibrite Display Pro HL / Plus HL probe, and using the Atomos Calibrator app, for ongoing accurate HDR and Rec.709 monitoring. Accurate monitoring ensures reliable results.

Every connection covered
The Shinobi family offers a choice of video connectivity to suit different cameras, setups and production environments. From a simple on-camera HDMI connection to SDI, signal pass-through and wireless monitoring, there’s a Shinobi designed to fit your workflow.
HDMI
Both Shinobi GO and Shinobi II have a full-size HDMI input port. Shinobi 7 II and Shinobi 7 RX, have HDMI input and output ports, to facilitate video loop-through if required.
USB-C
All Shinobis have a USB-C port, which can either be used to power the device or, in the case of Shinobi II, Shinobi 7 II and Shinobi 7 RX, to control a compatible camera, or connect an external calibration device.
Locking cables
Atomos has developed a unique and rugged locking ecosystem to maintain a secure grip on connected HDMI and USB-C cables. All Shinobi monitors are supplied with a special bracket to facilitate this.
SDI & HDMI
Shinobi 7 RX includes both HDMI and 3G-SDI inputs and outputs, which means it can be used with a much wider range of cameras and professional workflows, from indie films to big productions.
Wireless receive
Shinobi 7 RX has integrated 5G Wi-Fi to receive a video signal sent wirelessly from Atomos TX (antenna included, but not shown). It's the ideal way to create a mobile director's monitor.
Dual battery slots
Shogun 7 RX has dual battery slots to give you more flexibility and reliability on set. One battery can be replaced while the other keeps the Shogun running, so there’s no interruption in monitoring.
Flexible power options
USB-C PD
All Shinobis support USB-C Power Delivery (PD), which allows the device to be powered directly from a compatible USB-C source, including power banks, wall adapters, or hub systems.
NP-F battery
NP-F batteries are ideal for field use—powering your monitor through extended shoots without the need for frequent swaps or complex power setups (purchased separately).
Battery eliminator
Compatible with all Atomos monitors that accept an NP-F Sony L-Series type battery. Requires the separately available Atomos Locking AC Power Adapter to provide power (purchased separately).

Frequently asked questions
Can I calibrate the display?
Yes. All Shinobi monitors, with the exception of Shinobi GO, support on-device display calibration using a compatible calibration probe, such as the Calibrite Display Pro or Display Plus.
Unlike previous Shinobi models, calibration is performed directly on the monitor—there’s no need to connect to a separate computer.
What's new compared to previous Shinobi models?
All current Shinobi models have a USB-C port that adds several powerful new capabilities. For example, you can now:
- Control supported cameras directly from the monitor
- Power the monitor via USB-C
- Calibrate the display using a compatible calibration probe
Shinobi 7 RX also adds wireless video reception. Using the Atomos TX-RX wireless system, it can receive a live video feed from an Atomos TX transmitter without requiring a receiver on the monitor itself.
Which cameras can I control?
Shinobi II, Shinobi 7 II and Shinobi 7 RX support camera control over USB-C with a wide range of Canon, Fujifilm, Nikon, Panasonic and Sony mirrorless cameras.
As a general rule, if your camera supports tethered shooting over USB-C and is running the latest firmware, it should be compatible. We continue to add support through regular firmware updates.
For the latest compatibility information, visit: atomos.com/camera-control
Can I use LUTs on a Shinobi?
Yes. All Shinobi models support LUT preview for LOG footage, allowing you to view an approximation of the finished Rec.709 image while shooting.
You can also load your own custom .cube LUTs from an SD card and combine them with the monitor’s professional exposure and monitoring tools for accurate image assessment.
Does Shinobi 7 RX support cross-conversion?
No. Like the original Shinobi 7, Shinobi 7 RX provides loop-through outputs only and does not perform HDMI/SDI cross-conversion.

Yes. Shinobi 7 RX is the only monitor in the Shinobi range that has dual NP-F battery slots, allowing you to replace one battery while the other keeps the monitor powered.
This feature is not available on Shinobi GO, Shinobi II or Shinobi 7 II.
Can I record video on a Shinobi?
No. Shinobi is designed purely as a professional camera monitor. If you need external recording as well as monitoring, consider the Atomos Ninja range.
Can I power the Shinobi from USB-C?
Yes. all Shinobis can be powered directly from a compatible USB-C power source, making them ideal for long shooting days and studio setups.
Will my existing NP-F batteries work?
Yes. Shinobi monitors are compatible with standard Sony NP-F style batteries, making it easy to use batteries you may already own.
