Keith Eccles is an award-winning professional videographer based in the UK, having worked with many renowned brands across a variety of projects including fashion, corporate and weddings. Having previously worked with the Atomos Ninja V, Keith was keen to incorporate the new Ninja into his workflow.
One of the most striking differences between the Ninja and its predecessor is the new look and feel of the monitor’s touchscreen, brought about by the AtomOS 11 operating system. Keith agrees, and adds: “The design is faster, fresher and cleaner”. Not only is the touchscreen more responsive, but the icons on screen have been enhanced for ease of use.
As a videographer regularly on the move, Keith recognises the importance of having travel-friendly equipment to lessen the burden of long journeys and shooting days. The Ninja is compact, portable and can fit in a bag with other accessories easily. “It is fantastic for any videographer around the world,” he said.
The Ninja boasts a range of state-of-the-art tools including remote timelapse mode and colourised exposure with the industry recognised EL Zone and ARRI false colour tools. Keith explains: “It colourises exposure in stops, so what you see on the monitor is a true reflection of what you are recording.”
Keith is also able to take advantage of the new Record Assist feature, which enables him to set a time for his recording to start; “It’s ideal for pre-arranged events, especially when you need to be somewhere else.”
With its’ vibrant 1000 nits HDR display, Keith can use the Ninja to easily see his footage on screen in bright sunlight which is paramount for his outdoor-based action shots. He concludes: “The Ninja is ideal for shooting in all environments. This monitor can really do it all; the best just got better.”
