Setting Up the Accessory Kit with Your Monitor
The catalog does not provide step-by-step instructions, so the following general setup advice is based on the kit's intended use. Always refer to your monitor's manual for specific mounting and safety guidelines.
- 1. Attach the battery plate: Mount the included battery plate to the back of your Shinobi, Shinobi SDI, or Ninja V monitor using the provided screws or quick-release mechanism (if applicable). The plate holds two L-series batteries.
- 2. Insert the batteries: Slide two L-series batteries into the plate until they click into place. The kit includes two batteries, so you can start shooting immediately.
- 3. Connect power to the monitor: Use the included power cable to connect the battery plate to your monitor's DC input. Ensure the connection is secure before powering on.
- 4. Charge the batteries: When batteries run low, use the fast charger that comes with the kit. Plug the charger into a wall outlet and insert the depleted batteries. The fast charger reduces downtime between shoots.
- 5. Swap batteries in the field: With two batteries on the plate, you can hot-swap one battery while the other keeps the monitor running. This is especially useful for long recording sessions or live monitoring.
What the Kit Does Not Confirm
The catalog does not specify the exact capacity (mAh) of the included L-series batteries, nor does it list charging times for the fast charger. If those details matter for your workflow, check the product packaging or contact Atomos directly. Also, the kit is not confirmed to work with other monitor brands or larger Atomos models like the Shinobi 7.
