Camera control for a wide range of cameras
Utilizes the versatility of USB-C to control most current mirrorless or DSLR cameras from Canon, Panasonic and Sony, as well as the popular compact cinema cameras from Z CAM's E2 series. It is planned 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 shooting settings, battery status and remaining shooting time. The indicator with the red border shows when the camera is recording internally, regardless of whether it is triggered by the camera or the Shinobi II.
Perfect exposure for every shot
The Shinobi II combines the ability to set the aperture, shutter speed/angle and ISO value of the camera with the integrated exposure tools such as false colors, waveforms, zebra or the histogram. This allows you to achieve a perfect exposure for every shot.
