Atomos Ninja RAW — 5" 1500-Nit On-Camera HDMI Monitor Recorder with ProRes RAW & 6K Recording

Atomos Ninja RAW — 5" ProRes RAW On-Camera HDMI Monitor Recorder

The Atomos Ninja RAW is the most powerful 5-inch on-camera HDMI monitor-recorder Atomos has built at this price point — combining a 1500-nit HDR touchscreen (50% brighter than its predecessors), ProRes RAW and ProRes RAW HQ recording to CFexpress Type B, touchscreen camera control, and a full suite of professional monitoring tools. It bypasses your camera's internal compression entirely, capturing straight from the sensor to give you the full dynamic range, resolution, and bit-depth your camera is capable of.

Bypass your camera. Record what the sensor actually sees.

Most mirrorless cameras compress and limit their internal recordings — capping resolution, bit-depth, or frame rate to protect internal media and processing limits. The Ninja RAW breaks those limits. By recording the uncompressed or lightly compressed RAW signal directly over HDMI, you get up to 6Kp30 ProRes RAW — more resolution, more dynamic range, more colour information, and far more flexibility in post-production than any in-camera recording can offer.
