ATOMOS SHINOBI II & NINJA PHONE UPDATES A tomos has launched major updates for two of its most popular products. The Ninja Phone now supports Camera to Cloud with Frame.io certification, enabling seamless cloud uploads directly from the app. Users can log into their Frame.io account, choose compression settings and upload media at bit rates up to 70Mbps. This streamlines workflows, perfect for quick cloud collaboration or social media sharing. Meanwhile, the Shinobi II monitor has received a firmware update (11.03.00) with enhanced touch-to- focus functionality. The feature now supports additional camera models, including Canon EOS R1, R5 Mark II, R7, Nikon Z8, Sony FX3 and FX30. The update also includes an improved AF tracking mode for already supported cameras, making it even easier for photographers and videographers to focus on their subjects with precision.

A standout feature is the in-camera filter cartridge system that allows filmmakers to easily swap out filters, with automatic recording of metadata. This streamlines the transition from on-set to
post-production workflows and eliminates time-consuming manual filter control. Like the ALEXA 35, the 265 uses ARRI’s LogC4 and REVEAL Color Science, ensuring consistent, high-quality colour reproduction and efficient grading. It records ARRIRAW to Codex Compact Drives with the option for High Density Encoding (HDE) to reduce file sizes without compromising image quality. The launch is slated for early this year.
