Expose your shots accurately using our advanced exposure tools like false color, zebras, histograms, waveforms and vectorscopes. A multi-tool Analysis View gives you all the essential info at a glance. There’s even a selfie Mirror Mode for vloggers. Shinobi II is the perfect accessory to improve any photo or video production.
Camera control for an extensive list of cameras
Harnesses the versatility of USB-C to control most recent mirrorless or DSLR cameras from Canon, Panasonic and Sony, as well as the popular compact cinema cameras from Z CAM's E2 line. There are plans to support cameras from Fujifilm, Nikon, OM System and SIGMA with future firmware updates.
Check camera status at a glance
Use the Camera Status indicator to keep an eye on the camera’s internal record settings, battery status and remaining record time. The red edge display shows when the camera is recording internally, regardless of whether it's triggered by the camera or from the Shinobi II.

Combine Shinobi II's ability to adjust your camera lenses' aperture, shutter speed/angle and ISO with its built-in exposure tools such as false color, waveforms, zebras, or the histogram and achieve perfect exposure on every shot.
New AtomOS. New look. New possibilities.
Shinobi II runs under a version of our latest operating system, AtomOS 11. It not only looks amazing, but introduces a host of great new features. We’ve made the tools more visible and improved the look of the icons so you know exactly what you’re selecting. It’s easier to use, more logical and feels more professional.
