Product Information

Full details

The Atomos Sunhood for Shinobi II is designed for videographers and camera operators who frequently shoot outdoors or in high-ambient light environments. It provides the essential benefit of eliminating glare and reflections, allowing for accurate monitoring of contrast and color depth in bright conditions. While it is an indispensable tool for visibility, users should note that it adds a slight amount of bulk to the monitor profile during transport, though its dual-purpose design partially mitigates this by serving as a screen protector.

FAQs

Is this sunhood compatible with the original Shinobi 5-inch?

This model is specifically designed for the Shinobi II. Compatibility with earlier versions may not be guaranteed due to changes in chassis design.

Does the hood add much weight to the monitor?

No, it is constructed from lightweight materials intended to keep camera rigs agile and balanced.

Can I use the sunhood while the monitor is mounted on a gimbal?

Yes, but ensure the added width does not interfere with the gimbal's motors or range of motion.

How do I clean the inner surface of the hood?

Use a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could strip the matte finish.

Does it require tools to attach?

No, the sunhood uses a snap-on mechanism that requires no tools for attachment or removal.

Troubleshooting

Hood feels loose or does not snap on securely

Check that the mounting points on the Shinobi II monitor are clean and free of debris. Ensure all four attachment clips are fully engaged until you hear a click.

Hood blocks side access to cables

If your cable connectors are bulky, you may need to adjust the cable routing or use low-profile, right-angle connectors to ensure the hood sits flush.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Tool-free, rapid snap-on installation
Improves image contrast visibility in daylight
Serves as a screen protector during transit
Lightweight construction does not add significant weight to camera rigs

Cons

Adds depth to the monitor which may conflict with some compact carrying cases
Must be removed to access some side ports on certain mounting configurations
Surface may collect dust or fingerprints over extended outdoor use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The Atomos Sunhood is explicitly designed for the 5-inch Shinobi II monitor. Installation is straightforward: align the hood with the mounting points on the chassis and snap it into place. Ensure all clips are engaged to prevent it from shifting during active camera movement.

To care for the product, wipe the internal matte surface with a microfiber cloth to keep it free of dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners on the interior shielding, as this may degrade the anti-reflective properties. When not in use, keep the hood snapped onto the monitor in its 'closed' position to prevent the hinge mechanism from becoming loose.
