Atomos Shinobi II review: a lightweight HDR monitor for photography and video

An Atomos Shinobi II camera monitor on top of a camera outside in a field.

Video monitors are undoubtedly a must-have for capturing video because they make composing, focusing, and assessing exposure much easier and more effective. The Atomos Shinobi II is the successor to the popular Atomos Shinobi, bringing with it features and functionality that make it one of the best on-camera monitors available.

Atomos is best known for its video monitors/recorders offering Raw video capture. These are, of course, most useful for higher-end users who require codecs including Apple ProRes Raw, but for those who simply need a larger screen, video monitors are a far more cost-effective solution.
