New Vertical A7IV Setup with the Atomos Ninja V and Sony 70-200 GM II 

What is open gate? sorry I kinda don't know what that means

@@JesusChristSaves.open gate means being able to shoot video with the entire sensor and the max resolution (and aspect ratio) that it offers. For example my Fuji X-T4 captures 26MP fotos with a 6,000x4,000 pixel resolution from a APSC sensor. Unfortunately it’s not capable of open gate video recording, but if it was, that would mean I could shoot 6k (6,000x4,000p) videos without the camera cropping into the frame. That would be a 3:2 aspect ratio, so taller than usual 16:9, which means there would be more room to also crop a vertical video out of the footage while still filming horizontal.

@@josuastangl7140 Ahh, gotcha 👍🏼 thanks for the info

Nice. Yeah it's just a regular monitor mount, I just have it tilted all the way down

On that one, it's the Smallrig monitor mount lite, which is a cold shoe mount. I've since gotten a dual ball head mount which is more versatile

That's fair, it doesn't seem like it has that much more

For this one, just HDMI out of the camera, into the monitor

@@itmeremy for sony a7iv are we using hdmi from the monitor to hdmi on camera or hdmi to micro usb or type c port

@zizartprofilmood4660 HDMI. I can't see any reason to not use it, nor have I ever heard of the micro usb port being used for that

I think the 2 screen thing is a camera setting thing. I'm pretty sure if you have HDMI info display turned on in only shows an image on the monitor. If you turn that off it should show the info and image on the camera screen and the clean image on the monitor. And there's no noticeable delay on the Ninja V for me

I think the benefits comes down to the codecs and the fact that it's on SSDs rather than SD cards so storage is cheaper and larger capacity. And when it comes to codecs, you can't record raw internally in the camera so if you wanted, you could record in Prores RAW. Or even regular prores or DN HR which to my knowledge is more optimised for editing than the h.264 or h.265 that you'd get out of the camera. But again, that's really only if you want it for that recording function. I mostly record in camera to CFexpress Type A cards because it's easier in most cases, but there are times where it helps to be able to record externally

@@itmeremythe a7iv cant record raw over HDMI, i wish they’d at least give us 12 bit over hdmi :/

@dirtcreature3d that's fair, I didn't realise it can't, and yes of course it'd be good if it could do more than it can. But it's not a pro video camera, so who needs to shoot raw and also mains an a7IV?

It's the Smallrig Monitor Mount Lite, but I wouldn't really recommend it for the Ninja with a 970 battery like I had on this setup because it can't really handle the weight

Just a NATO rail. That handle is a NATO handle and I just have a rail attached to to top of the cage

The Ninja V can't do 6k I'm pretty sure. The newer and higher tier ones can though. As for other brands of recorders, I don't know of any other comparable ones, especially for cheaper. Good luck finding any

I don't know the part numbers, but the handle is the rotating left NATO handle, the monitor mount is the monitor mount lite and the cage is the updated a7IV/a7SIII/a1 cage

You can manually flip it in the menu where you can change the monitoring view (native, HLG, LUT etc.) and stuff. You can get to it just by tapping on the top middle, where it should say native or whatever you have it set as

Flips horizontal not vertical.. Vertical view is not possible in ninja V.. No one has shown how actually it looks when using it vertically..

@@VRKtaka Hey I know this is old, but were you able to find any monitor that actually works vertically?

@@jasonmorency6307 Nope!

You can't rotate the UI or anything and if you record on the ninja, the video will still be horizontal but it's very easy to just change the orientation in post

If I do externally record, I use DNxHR LB on the ninja, which is similar bitrate to XAVC S internal recording. I currently don't record externally very often though

You can't turn the UI sideways, you can only flip the whole image. As long as the monitor is in the same orientation as the camera, it'll be fine

I wanted to ask the same question ! So you have to turn your head 90 degres everytime you use menu on the screen ? :)

@laurentm yeah I guess you would. But how much do you really need to go through the menus and actually read stuff while you're using it? Yeah it'd be a nice feature, but to me it's not a big deal

@@itmeremy yes, for me on Ninja, menus are very IMP! otherwise i would go with local 'Vertical Monitor;..

Something I could do. I made both a short and a long form video about it which might be what you mean, shouldn't be hard to find on the channel

@@itmeremy oh okay ! I might have missed it ! Thank you brother 🙏

That very much depends on where you are, so if I send you links, it may not be that helpful

I listed all the names of the products in a reply another comment though

@@itmeremy I can imported. Please, send me the links. I have an Sony FX30 and film a lot in vertical mode. This will help me.

Also, they've updated the handle so I'd recommend the new one over this one, and the monitor mount lite isn't particularly strong so if you have a heavy monitor, you may want to find something else

Fair, but it's not like I bought all this purely to make shorts

@@itmeremy makes sense lol. Be funny if you did one saying the bare minimum setup and broke out a Red lol.

@stuff_i_liked1815 when I get a red or equivalent I'll be sure to make a video like that then

No
