The Atomos Shinobi 7 II, unveiled at IBC 2026, offers a larger, brighter display with Ethernet connectivity for expanded camera control, targeting outdoor filmmakers seeking high-brightness portable monitors.
Atomos has expanded its Shinobi line with a larger, brighter field monitor that adds wired camera control over Ethernet as well as USB-C. The new Shinobi 7 II was shown at IBC 2026 and is shipping now, positioning itself above the 5-inch Shinobi II for crews who want a daylight-readable display without moving into a recorder-first product.
The monitor uses a 7-inch, 1920 x 1080 touchscreen rated at 2,800 nits, which Atomos says is intended for filmmakers, directors of photography and assistants working outdoors or in strong mixed light. The company claims the panel keeps the slim form factor associated with the Shinobi range, despite the larger display.
Its most notable addition is a 10GbE Ethernet port on the rear. According to Atomos, that connection extends camera control to bodies that were not reachable through the USB-C-only setup on the smaller model, including Canon’s C50, C80 and C100, as well as Sony’s FX5 and FX6. USB-C control remains available for a wide list of mirrorless cameras, and Z CAM E2 support is still offered through a LANC cable.
Atomos says the Shinobi 7 II includes the same monitoring tools found across the range, including false colour, waveform, vectorscope, histogram, focus peaking, zebras and anamorphic de-squeeze. It also supports on-device calibration through a Calibrite probe, avoiding the need for a connected computer, and can run from USB-C power, an NP-F battery or a DC battery eliminator.
The launch also underlines how Atomos is segmenting the Shinobi family. Peter Barber, chief executive of Atomos, said on the IBC show floor that the range now comprises the Shinobi Go, Shinobi II, Shinobi 7 II and the Shinobi 7 RX, the last of which adds SDI and Wi-Fi video reception for wireless use with Atomos’ TX transmitter. Atomos also demonstrated its TX-RX wireless system, which can send HDMI up to 4Kp30 or 3G-SDI up to 1080p60 over a claimed 300 metres and feed multiple receivers at once.
Pricing is set at $499 in the US and £499 in the UK, with shipping already under way through Atomos and authorised resellers. The company says the monitor is aimed at users who need a compact, high-brightness display with direct camera control, rather than a heavier all-in-one recorder.
