Weighing a mere 380 grams this pocket rocket will never weigh you down and is completely at home on top of any camera, whether in the studio or up a mountain.

COMPLETELY CUSTOM 

Atomos doesn't believe in jigsaw-puzzling a best of breed product, they have designed every circuit, coded every function and invested thousands of hours in testing, quality control, design and manufacturing. They do not buy standard IP cores like codecs and do not lease HDMI/SDI interfaces – they write everything from scratch to deliver you a finely tuned thoroughbred video machine!

UNBELIEVABLY LOW POWER CONSUMPTION 

At 6 watts of power, nearly five times less than the nearest competitor, the Samurai Blade is perfect for battery-powered, in-the-field operation. Boasting no less than 4 power options, including the supplied NP series batteries, DC power adapter for larger batteries, AC mains power and Atomos' patented Continuous Power dual battery system. You'll never be without power when you need it most. The batteries even lock into place so you don't lose power in any event.

AFFORDABLE 2.5" HDD OR SSD

For those vibration sensitive shoots, around the race track or in the helicopter, Atomos supports modern SSDs. Bang for buck you can't beat hard disk for 90% of video shooting.
