I’ve been using a video monitor for capturing video and when shooting macro photography for some time, and although I use a budget model, it has been a game-changer. The Atomos Shinobi Go is a budget Atomos monitor aimed at content creators and photographers. And it is, if I’m honest, better than my own monitor in some ways, for only a small amount more. The major difference is the lack of accessories that come with the Shinobi Go.
That said, an Atomos monitor that costs just $249 / £259 means you can enjoy excellent quality on a budget. This makes it one of the best on-camera monitors available at the entry-level end since it’s a slightly cut-down version of the Shinobi II. Just factor in that you’ll also need to buy batteries, a monitor mount and an HDMI cable since these aren’t included.
