Shinobi Atmos + G9

Anyone using these two together?

I'm looking for a monitor so I can see focus points a little better in the studio but be mobile enough to take on location for video.

I remember with he G7 it would black out an external monitor when it was recording :/ Can anyone confirm when you record with this that you can see what is being recorded and any  comment on input lag etc.

Thanks!

It does not black out the external monitor while recording (in fact, both monitors are active - Shinobi and G9 back screen).

Thanks Bill!

Any lag / delay?

I use the Shinobi on my GH5 for stills and video. I like it ALOT.

Be sure to use a HDMI cable clamp to support the cable where it meets the G9. As with any camera, a good bump on the cable can sometimes damage the HDMI port.

GH5, GH5S and G9 all have a bit of HDMI output lag. How many frames, I don't know, but some folks on the DVXuser forum who manually pull focus complain it is enough to make pulling focus a bit of a challenge when it needs to be timed precisely using an external monitor.

I have not tested it that way, but when recording audio directly to a Ninja Inferno or Ninja V (not recording audio to the camera), the audio requires a delay of between 3-5 frames to match up. YMMV

I use a Ninja that takes 4K input while the shinobi only accepts HD

the lag on all lumix is 3-4 frames so if you shoot 60fps you don’t notice it. If instead you shoot 24fps is pretty bad. Consider that even the LCD has 1 frame of lag

One thing to consider is that the atomos products expect a legalised output so the exposure tools may be off compared to the camera make sure you are using the 64-940 output not the full output

this is the reason why I have kept a SWIT monitor and unless it is bright this is what I use so I do not need to mess around with the levels

Thanks for the input. I'm more worried about lag I would see that would be almost half a second or more which I saw was pretty common on some other external monitors when I researched it a couple of years ago.

A few frames I can handle the stuff I do isn't terrible precision just the eyes are getting a bit on so having something bigger will help.

Appreciate all the insight.
