Product Description

Based on the award-winning Samurai field recorder, the Ronin features touchscreen ease of use, capture to Apple ProRes and Avid DNXHD, professional monitoring and edit review. Like the Samurai, it can operate on location with battery or DC power, but it can also be used in a fixed facility, rack-mounted environment using AC power. In addition, the Ronin has balanced XLR inputs and outputs, along with a front panel headphone jack with channel monitoring selection. It also has an internal battery.

Came with broken screen...

Came with broken screen...
I was incredibly excited to attach this to my Sony FS7 and everything worked pretty well. I noticed shortly after using that there was a black line in the center of screen. After a couple more days the line started to multiply and there are now three black lines of dead pixels. I contacted their customer service and was told "yikes, thats a bad screen" and to return it. I confirmed my address and that they would send me a return label. That was on Wednesday and I have not heard anything back from them. I will update the rating as soon as they fix my unit and it works as advertised.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not quiet ready for prime time!

I really wanted to give this product a 5 star but it's not quiet there yet. I have a Sony A7S and this is a must have in order to get 4K video. This product feels very rushed, which was evident as it was supposed to be released in Sept 2014 and later got pushed to a Nov release. That never happened and was finally released in Dec. The software itself is missing a lot of key features including being able to playback your footage. Atomos has mentioned that they will update the firmware soon, but it seems they have a bad track record of being punctual with dates so I'm not holding my breath.

The unit itself feels extremely cheap and almost like a toy. I've read online of people barely dropping these from less than 12 inches and the screen cracking, I can totally see that happening and even holding it I am paranoid that I will break it. Atomos claims that it chose to manufacture it out of plastic to keep costs down but internally it is reinforced and not to worry. Personally I would have paid a bit more to have it made out of Carbon Fiber or even a magnesium body to keep weight down but still be strong.

The software features are very good! It's really the only reason why this is getting a 3 star, Atomos did a good job with what this recorder offers in terms of functionality. I'm sure with the future updates it's only going to get better. The display is beautiful and accurate, although not the best in direct sunlight but most of my work is indoors so I'm not too worried there.

Battery life is atrocious! It takes several hours to charge the battery only to get 15-25 minutes of use. I've already bought 3 additional batteries and it's ridiculous that I can blow through all 4 in a little over an hour. I'm really hoping that Atomos does some major optimizations on software to improve battery life.

I was really considering returning this device, personally this should have been priced at no more than $1,300. Especially, since it feels so Beta. What Atomos should have done is offered an invite system to have several people buy them at a discounted price first to Beta test and work out all of the bugs. I'm going to keep it for obvious reasons, I want 4K out of my A7S, I know there are other options like the Odyssey but really like the software and display. Hoping to see the Atomos Shogun V2 which I'm sure will be way better!

Couldn't ask for more. Worth the price if you have the money to spend. This has single-handidly streamlined my workflow while improving the overall quality of the picture I can record with my GH4.

5.0 out of 5 stars I don't know what I did without it!

Marvelous. Atomos just came out with Firmware 6.2 that allows capturing 4 K in Avid DNxHR format. It turns my Panasonic GH4 into a production camera. The monitor is large enough and clear enough to allow to carefully trim depth of focus visually, and to follow focus if you need to. It uses quite a bit of power, but a better battery power solution is planned for the future. Editing 4K in Avid Media Composer 8.3.1 has just become a pleasure.
The case and packaging are outstanding, and the unit is very simple to use.
