This unit is a great e...ntry level tool for filmmakers to get their quality footage streamlined and to look amazing in post. I use it with a canon C100 and the results are amazing. Being able to work with ProRes HD files makes a ton of difference, it takes a lot more to break this codec in post when doing color grading etc... Highly recommended!

I have used the Ninja-2 on many live video events. It is an excellent slave recorder for tucked away cameras during receptions or training events. I used it as a terminal recorder to take the video back to an editing workstation to assemble training videos with multiple perspective video angles. I have also used it as an in-line/pass-through video recorder to record live video feeds before the video is passed on to a master video switch. I always keep at least one in my equipment cases as a dependable backup to camera-based recording media. All-in-all, this is the most handy recorder I have used. The video and audio is broadcast quality and ready for post production editing without any cleanup needed. Video levels are adjustable and test patterns are available for tweaking video. Frame rates are adjustable to increase or decrease video captured. This is just a well engineered tool that fits well into all sorts of applications.

The Atomos brand of recorders are a modern day marvel. The abi...lty to film in 422 Prores is great. This is an editing format that allows an editor to manipulate the fontage without it falling apart. This gives the editor more creative control. This can only be beaten or match by uncompressed film. I use it with my sony hvr hd 1000 and it turns the 1440 1080i to 1920 1080p. It brings out the power of the sony picture and Carl Zeus lens. Wow, it just turned the sony hvr hd 1000 into a filming machine. When you add a wide angle lens, the detail level is comparable to a 4k camera. It just makes this entry level camera a must every movie, sitcom, commercial and music video producer must have even if they use it to get the tough shot. The sony picture is legedary and the Atomos Ninja 2 brings that legenday picture to a prosumer product is a Modern Marvel.
