It is 8bit (+2 FRC) so I am not sure about the HDR thingy (I am not sure, because everyone and their mothers claim HDR compatibility these days), I should probably check HDR on my phone, which is both Dolby and HDR compatible and has a 5.7" screen! Overall, is a great product and with a right price, more appealing than BM 5" for sure, but for monitoring, I would go with the smallest and lightest possible. I used the 502 and loved it. But in daylight, it's difficult to see. I would like to try the Focus but to me, I would purchase the bundle and that puts it very close to the price of the atomos. And for that, the atomos has the advantage of 1000nits and also a recorder (which I don't need for the moment). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kisaha Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 @zerocool22 Recently I have various issues with older directors, not been able to monitor well with 7", so may in the future I will go to something like this. I am dead serious, too. Directors love screen estate, makes them feel more important somehow (I have seen them love PC monitor screens on set). https://www.ebay.com/itm/11-6-Inch-1920X1080-HDMI-Raspberry-Pi-3-PS3-PS4-WiiU-Xbox360-Display-Monitor/273088525332?hash=item3f95583414:m:mVu0XVF_ZrtcTTUjj8UoZFw 9 hours ago, froess said: I used the 502 and loved it.

Preferably test both before you choose. The BlackMagic assist looks ok in specs, in real life wasn't anything like the Focus, where everything you put atop your camera (especially a hybrid/Pocket4K) really counts. With the recent announcements, recorders will be an afterthought I guess, the latest Panasonic and BM have everything you need on board, codec wise, and I am sure more will follow.

jonpais Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Like @Don Kotlos says, it's Prores RAW ready, meaning Atomos is counting on at least one DSLR manufacturer to hop on board. I urge everyone to mention Prores RAW each and every time you click on a camera review. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime, I'm interested in the ninja v. Mostly because of the small size and 1000nits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borbarad Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 For me this is the Highlight of NAB together with the FCPX upgrade. yes,the new BM seems to be a steal,but it’s only targeting the GH5s crowd, not the GH5 users like me who are after Hybrids and run and gun. Anyway. The new Ninja V is really something and probably a big hint that RAW is coming, most likely with the A7S MKIII. And hopefully Panasonic follows suit. and then the upcoming Ronin S ... oh yes ? B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't agree that monitor/recorders are dead, especially when more and more productions will be shooting HDR in the future. And no camera LCD can achieve 1,000 nits brightness. I also would not want to rely upon a small LCD screen for pulling focus, and neither do film crews. The Pocket looks like it has an awesome screen, but the inability to tilt makes it a little awkward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
