In the blog post titled “Atomos’ Revolutionary Ninja Phone”, Gareth Bevan highlights how the Atomos Ninja Phone could reshape the monitor-recorder landscape. As it begins shipping ahead of IBC 2024 in Amsterdam, this cutting-edge device allows filmmakers and content creators to turn their iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max into professional-grade on-camera monitor-recorders. While Digital Camera World is still awaiting hands-on testing, early insights suggest the Ninja Phone could be a game-changer for video production.
The Atomos Ninja Phone takes advantage of Apple’s latest Bionic chipset, paired with a built-in video co-processor, to enable 10-bit Apple ProRes and H.265 recording from professional cameras with HDMI outputs. The device is designed to work seamlessly with iPhones but promises compatibility with other smartphones in the future, like the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6.
One of the standout features of the Ninja Phone is its ability to upload footage instantly via 5G and WiFi 6E to cloud platforms, including Atomos Cloud Studio (ACS). This functionality is essential for professionals who want to adopt a cloud-based workflow while using the latest technology. Additionally, the USB-C connection and Ninja Phone app make it easy to sync with external devices, such as wireless microphones, making it a versatile tool for content creators.
Jeromy Young, CEO and Co-Founder of Atomos, emphasizes that the Ninja Phone provides video professionals with an affordable, efficient cloud workflow. At the same time, it enhances video production for TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube creators looking to elevate their content quality by using professional cameras, lenses, and microphones.
With its official release ahead of IBC 2024, the Atomos Ninja Phone is positioned to revolutionize the video production space, giving creators the tools they need to capture, store, and share high-quality content directly from their iPhones.
