The iPhone has evolved into one of the most versatile devices for run-and-gun videography and filmmaking, partly thanks to its use when shooting the Academy Award-winning movie Tangerine. The stunningly crisp and detailed OLED display featured on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will be put to great use by video content creators thanks to the arrival of the Atomos Ninja Phone.
Acting as a 10-bit video co-processor for a range of tablets and smartphones, the Atomos Ninja Phone delivers a portable and lightweight professional monitor recorder that maximizes the power of Apple’s ProRes encoding and screen technology. The result is a display that presents footage in a quality far exceeding what traditional built-in camera screens are capable of, revolutionizing the pace of filmmaking.
The Atomos Ninja Phone encodes the HDMI signal from your camera and transfers it to an iPhone 15 Pro via its USB-C output. By marshaling the iPhone’s A17 system, the footage is displayed on the phone’s high-resolution screen to reflect the camera’s sensor data accurately. It can display 11 stops of dynamic range and allows for remote monitoring with a peak brightness of 1600 nits and full Dolby Vision support.
With the powerful Ninja Phone iPhone app, the Atomos Ninja Phone can be easily controlled. It works in tandem with the iPhone for a silky smooth workflow. With zero latency and optimal power consumption, the Atomos Ninja Phone is a welcome addition to the growing range of accessories for iPhone videographers. The Atomos Ninja Phone is expected to ship in June 2024 and is priced at $399. Customers will also need to choose a case for the iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max, not just to protect the phone in normal use but to ensure that the locking cable system can be deployed. The cases will be available separately at $59 each.
