Atomos Shinobi 7 RX: A Wireless Video Monitor Built for Creators

Every year at events such as IBC, new equipment launches to simplify your work and enhance the quality of your videos. Personally, I’m always looking for tools that can truly improve my workflow, and it seems Atomos may have a few impressive products from IBC 2025.

John recently interviewed Peter, the CEO of Atomos, where they discussed some exciting new items. If you’re like me, you’re probably searching for the ideal field monitor to check your shots or a dependable recorder. Well, the good news is that Atomos is raising the bar with their latest offerings, the Atomos Shinobi 7 RX and the Ninja TX. Let’s take a closer look at what Peter has to say about these new gadgets.

Meet the Shinobi 7RX: Your New Wireless Viewfinder

Peter calls it a “super bright HDR 2200 nit camera monitor.” That’s extremely bright, so you should be able to see your image clearly even when the sun is shining directly on your screen.

What stood out to John, and what makes it an “RX” model, are the Wi-Fi antennas. Peter says this monitor can receive video wirelessly from Atomos’s TX platform and send it to up to four other devices. That means your director, client, or another operator could watch the feed on their own monitor, iPad, or Android tablet using a free app. This could really speed up workflow on set by reducing cables and keeping everyone connected.

In addition to its wireless features, it’s also a handy monitor for daily use. Peter says it has built-in SDI and HDMI inputs, making it compatible with almost any camera. He also highlights the touchscreen camera control and touch-to-focus features, similar to its smaller version, the Shinobi 2. So you get all the great features you’re used to, just in a larger format with added wireless capabilities.

The Ninja TX: An 8K RAW Powerhouse

Peter describes it as Atomos’s “most advanced Ninja ever,” and it seems they may be onto something.

One standout feature is its built-in 12-gig SDI and HDMI with loop-through capabilities on both ports. This allows you to record from almost any camera and convert video signals (like SDI to HDMI) while sending output to other monitors. This offers a lot of flexibility when connecting your equipment.

Moreover, the Ninja TX can record up to 8K RAW footage. This is a big deal if you’re working on high-quality projects or need top-notch video for color grading. Peter mentions that it records in ProRes RAW, which is widely used and compatible with editing software like Adobe, Final Cut Pro, and DaVinci Resolve.

Additionally, the Ninja TX features built-in Wi-Fi, so you can easily upload and back up your footage to Atomosphere, Frame.io, or Dropbox. This means you’re not only capturing high-quality video but also simplifying the management of those large files.

Storage Gets an Upgrade: Goodbye SSDs?

A common concern with recorders is storage. Peter has announced a big change for the Ninja TX: it no longer uses SSDs. Instead, Atomos has switched to the new CF Express Type B drives. He says these drives are “much smaller” and “very fast,” which is great for both portability and performance.

He also said that you can use external USB drives, giving you even more ways to store your important footage. While Peter didn’t have the specific bit rates available, he assured John that the Ninja TX can manage the high frame rate RAW bit rates you’d expect from CF Express. Additionally, he mentioned that the Ninja TX will feature the same touchscreen camera control as the Atomos Shinobi 7 RX, which is great for keeping things consistent across their products.

Beyond the Spec Sheet

The Atomos Shinobi 7 RX will be up for sale around the end of October 2025. You can buy it from official Atomos retailers and their website. In terms of pricing, the monitor will cost USD $699 and EUR €699. However, for those in the USA, the price will be set at USD $799 due to import tariffs. John also thinks Atomos is paying attention to what videographers need while working. The Shinobi 7RX provides bright, wireless monitoring that could change how you work together on set. The Ninja TX offers 8K RAW recording and CF Express storage, making it a great upgrade for those aiming for top-notch video quality.
