Get ready for a game-changer in the world of video production! Atomos has just unveiled the Ninja TX GO, a powerful yet affordable monitor-recorder that's set to revolutionize the way mirrorless and DSLR camera users capture and control their footage.
But what makes this device so special? Well, it's a stripped-down version of the Ninja TX, offering pro-level features at a more accessible price. Imagine having a 5-inch, 1500-nit HDR touchscreen with advanced tools like EL Zone, waveform, vectorscope, and focus peaking right at your fingertips. And that's just the beginning!
The Ninja TX GO records directly to CFexpress Type B or USB-C SSD storage, supporting a wide range of codecs including Apple ProRes, ProRes RAW, Avid DNx, and H.265/H.264. This means you can seamlessly fit into various post-production processes. But here's where it gets exciting: with RAW-capable HDMI inputs, it can record up to 6Kp30 RAW, ensuring stunning visual quality.
And this is the part most creators will love: integrated camera control. You can directly adjust aperture, shutter speed, and ISO on cameras from Canon, Fujifilm, Nikon, Panasonic, Sony, Z CAM, and more. Say goodbye to cumbersome camera adjustments and hello to efficient, precise control.
"We're thrilled to offer the Ninja TX's capabilities to a wider range of creators," said Atomos CEO Peter Barber. "The Ninja TX GO is a lightweight powerhouse, offering uncompromised professional monitoring, recording, and control. It's an ideal tool for those seeking exceptional visual quality and workflow efficiency from their HDMI cameras."
The device includes built-in Wi-Fi, allowing for seamless camera-to-cloud operations. You get 20GB of free ATOMOSphere cloud storage and can upload directly to various services or even live stream via NDI 6/HX3. And with a price tag of $AUD1,199, it's an attractive option for many.
But wait, there's more! The Ninja TX, released earlier, adds SDI input/output, AirGlu wireless timecode, and 8Kp30 RAW recording for cinematic cameras, catering to high-end production needs.
Controversial opinion alert: Is the Ninja TX GO the ultimate all-in-one solution for budget-conscious creators, or does it fall short in some areas? What do you think? Share your thoughts in the comments, and let's discuss the future of affordable, pro-grade video production gear!
