Outdoor Vlogging Test with the Shinobi Camera

We're doing the outdoor vlogging test today, but this is not exactly what my normal setup would be. I'm just using this because it's about terrain and I had to like throw something together really quickly. But I'm using a 5-inch touchscreen camera to show you that even though a camera has a flip screen, it's nicer to have a larger display with more features.

We're going to walk around and record some footage to see how it looks to use a bigger camera with a much bigger screen. And in the future, I want to test out other cameras and see which one works best for me. For this video, I wanted to share my initial impressions of the Shinobi camera. It's crazy lightweight, like this thing has shocked me for how light it is.

I don't like that it's got a lot of features that are hard to use with polarized sunglasses on. If you wear polarized sunglasses and you want to use this thing for vlogging, you'll have to put a screen protector on it because the display will be too hard to see when angled in certain ways. I always wear sunglasses, but not right now for a reason, which is that they're actually preventing me from seeing the display properly. But I like that the Shinobi camera is lightweight and has all the same features as my ninja 5.

I really like what Adam Osaziz is doing with his cameras - he gives you the features and specs that you really just want. So, I'm excited to try out the Shinobi camera and see how it works for me. But for now, I'll keep testing it out and sharing my thoughts with you guys.

The Shinobi Camera's Features

One of the things I like about the Shinobi camera is its touchscreen display. It's not just a flip screen - it's got so much more information available to see on the screen at any given time. You can get focus peaking, histograms, false color, and waveform monitors all from this one screen. That's something that my old camera didn't have.

But even with the touchscreen display, there are some downsides to using polarized sunglasses while shooting video. The problem is that if you angle it the wrong way, you can't see what's on the screen at all. I always wear sunglasses because they're just more comfortable for me, but this has given me a new appreciation for how much I need a screen protector when shooting with polarized lenses.

I've also got to say that I'm excited about the Shinobi camera's size and weight. It's so lightweight - like it might be hard to believe that this is an actual camera. But even though it's small, it still has all the features that I need for vlogging. And one of the things that really impresses me is how much it resembles my old ninja 5 in terms of size and weight.

The Shinobi Camera's Ease of Use

One thing that really stands out about the Shinobi camera is its ease of use. You've got two main settings - before you hit record, and after you hit record. And I love that those settings are so easy to access from the camera itself. It's one less step in the process that means you can start recording faster.

The problem with some cameras is that they don't have as many settings or features available when you're shooting video. But not the Shinobi - it's got everything that I need, right there on the screen. You've got access to your audio levels, your focus peaking, and even your histogram all from this one display.

But what really impresses me is how well the Shinobi camera performs in terms of recording. It's like a pro-grade camera - it just makes everything so easy. And I love that you don't need to worry about complicated settings or menu options when shooting with it. Just turn it on, press record, and start filming.

The Shinobi Camera's Initial Impressions

For this video, I wanted to share my initial impressions of the Shinobi camera. It's been a really great experience so far - everything has worked out perfectly. The camera is lightweight, easy to use, and has all the features that I need for vlogging. And one thing that really stands out about it is how much it resembles my old ninja 5 in terms of size and weight.

But what really surprised me was the display - it's so big and clear, even when I'm wearing polarized sunglasses. It's like a little window into the world outside - everything looks crystal clear on this screen. And even though it's got all these features that make it hard to see at times, it's still incredibly easy to use.

I've already decided that I want to start using the Shinobi camera more often now. It's just so convenient and easy to use - I can get started with a video shoot in no time. And I love that you don't need any complicated settings or menu options when shooting with it. Just turn it on, press record, and start filming.

Overall, my initial impressions of the Shinobi camera have been very positive. It's lightweight, easy to use, and has all the features that I need for vlogging. And one thing that really stands out about it is how much it resembles my old ninja 5 in terms of size and weight.

okay let's find a camera to plug this thing into Secours hold on we need a cable and we got a cable so if you know me I'm kind of rough on gear and I actually so this is this long this is the shortest cable I have right now because I I may or may not have dropped another camera that had my nice coiled cable and then it got smashed so let's plug this sucker in and see what we got going on and something else we're gonna do here in a second is you know if you've watched any of my camera reviews always have the vlog test we are gonna hook this up to my GH five we're gonna take this outside and see like does it weigh that much can it help if there's a camera that doesn't have a flip up screen or doesn't have a flip out screen can it work as a you know a vlogging contraption because with as light as it is I think it is maybe not with one of these big batteries I think if you get one of these smaller Sony batteries it would do a little bit better let's turn on the a7 three which we only used to make youtube videos about because who knows let's turn the sucker on turn it on Adam owes no input let's see what we get input hey see that's how I broke the other one I'm I drop stuff Hey look at that that looks pretty darn good this is supposed to have a thousand nits of brightness uh so yeah that looks that looks good um man dang that looks fantastic so hold on we'll put you there so we can kind of see what can we you a tripod would probably help but all my gears stowed away right now who's got the touch screens it's got the Hunter's um so we got waveform yeah vector scope histogram focus peaking which honestly focus peaking is the most important to me um can you see that it's it's around there a little bit we'll have to mess with the settings a little more in the future but focus peaking is where there's like an outline on what is in or out of focus and I actually find that to be one of the most important things because even cameras with great autofocus they're not right a hundred percent of the time so it's always nice to have a big monitor with focus peaking that lets you know so it's got histograms you can see a little bit of overexposure there and my favorite for exposing video false-color look at that oh you guys can definitely not see that that is blown out that's blown out a lot two times if you're trying to check your focus two times if you're trying to check your focus four times if you're super trying to check your focus black and white okay if you're recording in different aspects you can change that up it'll give you guidelines if you're recording it maybe seventeen by nine or four by three if you're crazy and not doing sixteen by nine like a regular person you can change up the settings of the waveform focus peaking zebra let's monitor display backlit Gangamma man I love and then look so if you have a camera plugged in it also just like the ninja it gives you an audio monitor on there - man I love battery ooh the battery will probably have to charge that info shinobi audio with the headphones out input tell you all your input stuff man I love so we got to see what's in the box we're kind of playing around to monitor indoors but we're not really getting much so let's hop outside put it on the camera and see if we can use this as like a vlogging monitor because thanks camera companies for not giving us what we want see out there yeah okay so here we are doing the outdoor vlogging test but now don't this is not exactly what my normal setup would be I'm just using this because it's about terrain and I had to like throw something together really quickly but I'm using this one eh five to kind of show like even though a camera has a flip screen maybe it's nicer to have a five inch touchscreen that shows everything about it like sometimes the flip screen just doesn't do enough so let's run let's walk around we're gonna record kind of see how it looks to use a bigger camera with a much bigger screen and in the future okay hey also if you have polarized sunglasses check this out we just we just found this out yeah you can't it's just like the Sony a7 line of cameras so if you have polarized sunglasses it's gonna be harder to see the screen lesson learned from the everyday to add you some progress okay there we go we got focused peaking on okay there we go we hit record now again remember this isn't a recorder you have to record in camera but let's see so again this it's super super light I like that I can just see okay hold on I can't so this thing is super light but the problem already is I wear sunglasses all the time and this is you're gonna have to put a screen protector on much like you do with the Sony cameras if you want to see it um but I like that we have all I liked we have access to all the features it's not that much heavier than just the camera by itself this is not in like full light weight mode for full light weight mode I'll take off I'll put a smaller battery on here I won't use such a big adapter here if we're gonna put it in like actual light weight vlogging mode but it's not that bad I assumed much like the ninja v that it would be just a little too heavy it's used for like actual vlogging now this does add as if anybody if any you guys know me you know that FID leanness is something that I just do not like and this does add another layer of FID leanness but again ready to turn off the battery indicator but if you watch my videos there's two parts of ease of you strike theirs before you hit record and after you hit record and if this can help you out with after you hit record that's pretty impressive especially since camera companies just refused to give us a flip-out screen like this Panasonic we're on the GH five right now their new cameras don't have flip out screens Canon will give us flip out screens but they don't give us the recording stuff that we want nikon is my z6 is my favorite camera currently on the market but it doesn't have a flip-out screen so you're kind of stuck and even like even the flip out screens you get I mean they're okay the Panasonic okay this is a bad example because the GH five has a fantastic amount of information you can get on that flip out screen but like the Canon over here look at the Canon I can't tell what my audio is I can't tell anything about it straight from the camera itself that's I can't tell anything about it from the flip screen whereas on this I've got audio I've got focus peaking I've got a histogram I've got false color I've got waveform monitors this thing's super lightweight and I'm just excited to try it out I just wanted to kind of share this with you for this for this video this isn't a review this isn't like I literally just took this out of the box these are my initial impressions but what are my initial impressions of the shinobi it's crazy lightweight like this thing has shocked me for how light it is I don't like that it's I don't know what it is about displays these days where when you wear polarized sunglasses if you if you angle it the wrong way you can't you can't see so if you wear polarized sunglasses and you want to use this thing vlogging you'll have to put a screen protector on it if you want to be able to see stuff because you just again I always wear sunglasses I'm not wearing them right now for a reason but it's lightweight I like that it's got all the same features as my ninja 5 - the recording but it's just I don't know I really like what adam oasiz doing there they give you the features and specs that you really just want so I'm excited to try this out what do you guys want to see if I make a full video about the shinobi or if you have any questions you have any comments please leave them in the comments section below I'm excited I'm gonna start using this on a lot more of my videos thanks for watchingas Adam O's released our need for flip-out screens the shinobi let's check it out what's up everyone on the everyday dad if I can figure it out you can figure it out so thanks to Adam O's for sending this over to me to check out and today we're gonna unbox it and give my initial impressions of their brand-new release today as I record this shinobi monitor so let's just hop into it so again so as today's the day it is released Adamo sent this to me to make videos about and I am a very big fan of the things that atomos makes I've been praising the ninja 5 since it came out it's one of the best camera accessories ever made and so the shinobi is supposed to be like the ninja 5 without the recording things and holy cow that's light ok well we'll get to that in a second but man that is like so what I'm excited about is it's basically all of the like cool functionality of the ninja 5 without the recording so what I think this is gonna be capable of doing we got some books here Quick Start Guide probably not gonna read that and what I'm excited to see if it can do is become like a vlogging monitor so camera companies like Sony Panasonic now Fuji Nikon they make cameras without flip-out screens but is this light enough and powerful enough to just who even needs camera companies to make a flip-out screen so it comes with oh look at that it comes with a little Sony Style battery that you can plug into the wall that's pretty cool so this does take the sony NP style of batteries just like the ninja v it takes one but because it doesn't have the recording capabilities this thing takes batteries and lasts forever so inside of the box you saw we got the recording things we got the international adapters we got the plug that's pretty cool we got the QuickStart guide who even uses QuickStart guide so let's check out the shinobi itself whoo I love doing that man this thing feels now it's not it doesn't feel like it has a bit of hold on let's pull this hard drive up now it doesn't feel like it's made of the same materials as the ninja but it feels like the thing is that is superlight we're gonna have to weigh this when we make a bigger video about this we're gonna have to actually weigh this thing because this thing is crazy light it's got a quarter-inch mount on the top it's got a quarter inch mount on the bottom it's got an SD card now what this SD card slot does is let you load in Luntz so if you're gonna record in a log profile you can record your own Luntz into their remote remote control out headphone out there's the HDMI I just cannot get over how light this thing is let's find a camera -
