Atomos said on June 17, 2026, that Shinobi II is being used by outdoor shooter Jon Bailey to help him keep footage consistent as light changes and subjects move quickly in the field.
The company said Bailey’s work often takes place outdoors, where shifting light and fast-moving subjects can make shooting more difficult. In that setting, Atomos said, access to camera control and touch-to-focus on Shinobi II lets Bailey react faster without spending time moving through camera menus or reaching for the camera body.
According to the release, the monitor combines camera control with touch-to-focus so Bailey can make adjustments directly on the monitor while working on location. Atomos described the setup as a practical field tool for keeping pace with changing scenes and reducing delays during coverage.
The company said outdoor light can affect exposure, framing and focus over the course of a shoot, and that faster adjustments help Bailey maintain a more even look from clip to clip. It said the workflow is especially useful when travel, event and street-style shooting leave little time to reframe or refocus.
Atomos framed the use case as a real-world example of how the monitor can support field shooting without changing a creator’s approach. The release did not provide pricing or availability details for this use case. For more company coverage, see cameras news.
The announcement follows other field-monitor and live-view use cases highlighted in Volve Vision Newsroom, including Live Abbey Road crossing cam in London and Live cam at UADE, 9 de Julio, Independencia, Buenos Aires.
