Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is this monitor HDR, what is the NIT level?

A: Hello Eric, the Shogun 7 is a 1500 Nit screen but can portray up to a 3000 nit shot/scene.

Q: 2. This records 2K up to 240 fps. Can this up the frame rate on the Sony A7s that caps out at 1280 x 720 (120p/50Mbps)? Thank you.

A: Hello John, unfortunately no, the Atomos products are capable of doing what the source (the A7s for this example) can do, so the A7 can only max out at 4K@30p, so that is all we would see as well. we do NOT upscale res or frame rates.

Q: 3. Is this compatible with the Canon C300 mark III?

A: Yes, you will be able to use this with the C300 Mark III. They are compatible.

Q: 4. Can it clean a spotting scope

A: Yes, the Lenspen LensPen Lens Cleaner (Black) can clean a spotting scope.

Q: 5. Will the Shogun 7 work with the Z-Cam E-2 for ProRes Raw? 60FPS?

A: Hello Paris, at the moment only the NINJA V will work. we are working on the other Atomos products.

Q: 6. Does this work better than an anti-static cloth or anti-satic brush for 35mm negatives?

A: This works very well to remove dust from negatives. Using this in conjunction with an anstistat cloth is ideal. If there are any minute particles that are stuck on, etc... the cloth is good for that.

Q: 7. Can I combine 2 kits into 1 allowing me to have a longer track? I’m needing a minimum of 40ft track for an upcoming film.

A: Yes, you can combine multiple E-Image Portable Camera Dolly with Tracks systems to get a longer track.

Q: 8. Using the Atomos 1TB SSD, what's the recording time for available for various formats and feeds? For example, 4 720p60 ISOs, no program.

A: In a more standardized ProRes 422 approach, the specs you defined would give you approximately 3 hours of recording time... Of course, those specs would vary even within the ProRes realm should you opt for ProRes HQ or ProRes LT.

Q: 9. Does it have a grounding cord like it's big brother?

A: I don't see any reference to a grounding cord on the Kinetronics instructions. They do recommend vacumming &/or washing the brushes from time to time depending on how much the brush is used. Mine seems to be working very well at removing dust particles from the film I'm scanning.

Q: 10. Can I use a Sachtler Flowtech 75 on this dolly?

A: Yes, you can use the Sachtler Flowtech 75 with the E-Image Portable Camera Dolly with Tracks.
