Now at $1200 for the 502 and $1500 for the 702, why spend such a big chunk of change on an external monitor? Well with most cameras, the size, resolution and features of their built in monitors just don’t cut it for nailing focus, exposure, composition, etc. These sleek and sexy SmallHD monitors are just chock full of the tools you need to nail your shots – at a full 1080p!

Let’s face it. Buying a set of professional cinema lenses is a hefty investment. You can easily spend five-digit figures and even in the six-digit figures for the very high end lenses from the likes of ARRI, Cooke, and Leica.
Of course, the more budget-friendly alternative would be still photography lenses. Whether it is a Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 or a classic Zeiss 50mm, there are many reasons why people opt to use still lenses for filming.

Hi guys! So about 10 months ago our team decided to review some cameras that we had recently acquired and wanted to see how well each of them performed in dynamic range, low light, and slow motion. We wanted to see the strengths of each camera and how we can effectively use our gear to our advantage. One thing we really believe in is understanding our equipment so well that we wouldn’t be hindered by the limitations of what we have (or don’t have). We also wanted to share everything we’ve learned, hence the inspiration of our gear reviews. It was just so much fun for our team and collaborators to get together and just talk geek! We loved it so much that we continued to create videos of gear that we WANTED to learn more about, and today we want to take a moment to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for inspiring us to share everything we’ve learned and starting awesome discussions with us. Thank you for all the support and comments.

We are proud to present Rhiann Woodyard and Cheetah Platt‘s final private wedding ceremony, back from around the world to where they first met.
They went from being our talent for our Atomos Shogun test videos to being featured on CNN, ABC and Good Morning America. Why? Because they got married 46 times across 12 countries and 6 continents!!!!! THAT’S WHY!
All the gear that we test and review is nothing if we don’t go out and tell great stories with them. When I texted my high school friend Rhiann asking when their final ceremony after their crazy awesome journey was, they told me “Today”. I was like WHAT???

Rhiann and Cheetah are two very talented hand-to-hand aerialists that fell in love one day at Santa Monica beach. They are now a world famous wedding couple featured on Good Morning America!
Earlier this year, we invited them to be the subjects of our Atomos Shogun + A7s + Steadicam shoot. The footage was featured on screens all around the NAB 2015 Show floor.

Hi everyone! Michael, Georgia, Marcus and Emily just got back from NAB 2015. This experience was a little unique for the team as our very own Michael Shu was invited to give a talk at the Atomos Dome. Atomos really outdid themselves at NAB; it was bigger and greater than last year. Here is a quick summary of some of the booths we said HI to.
Freddie Wong gave a presentation, “How to Be a Success on Youtube and Beyond,” at the Adobe platform on Tuesday, April 2015. Of course, we dropped in to support one of our fellow filmmaker/content creator! Here’s a snapshot of Video Game High School. Check out the series here.
