Atomos has announced the launch of its new Ninja RAW, a 5-inch HDR monitor-recorder. The company said it was designed to give filmmakers, content creators and broadcasters a tool for on-set monitoring.

The product features a 1500-nit, 5-inch HDR touchscreen and it records over HDMI directly from the camera sensor in Apple ProRes and ProRes RAW to CFexpress Type B media or external USB-C storage.

“Ninja RAW is our most affordable, next-generation monitor-recorder, designed for creators who demand uncompromising image quality, absolute control and complete mobility,” said Peter Barber, CEO of Atomos. “By combining a super-bright HDR display, direct ProRes RAW recording, and professional monitoring tools in a compact and portable form factor, Ninja RAW gives filmmakers the power to capture exactly what their cameras see, wherever the story takes them.”

The Ninja RAW offers USB-C camera control, including start/stop, ISO, shutter, aperture and white balance for supported cameras.

Creative tools such as the Onion Skin overlay are included, allowing for frame-to-frame comparison and precise shot alignment.

The product can be powered by NP-F batteries, USB-C power banks, or a DC adaptor. It is available from Atomos resellers worldwide and the company’s web store for a price of $699 USD.
