Hi Guys,
I did a search for this and I didn't come up with anything, so if this is posted somewhere else, just let me know.... if not, I'm considering purchasing the Atomos Ninja Star. On a 5D Mk II, I know using ML that a lot of people have used the Ninja 2 to record to. I can't seem to find anything posted online of anyone using the Ninja Star and a 5D Mk II with ML. Has anyone tried the Ninja Star? Any information about it's compatibility or performance is appreciated. Thanks.

The Star will work just fine. If you are shooting in RAW, it will NOT automatically start and stop with the camera so you will need to push both record buttons. If you are shooting w/o RAW, you can set the camera and the Atomos recorder so the Star will auto record and stop to match the recording on the camera.

That will not work with the 5D2 , ( Start/Stop function W/h264 video) as the HDMI has no Timecode . I have check with my AJA Kona LHi Capture card.
It's just "Free Run" and the same go for Ninja etc.. Timecode was implemented in 5D3 and the rest of canon Cinema Camera Line .The 5D2 was not part of that.
so please solid ...
it will work whit the mark II 5d for record pro res the ninja star ?
a very big doubdt when a saw videos ... in the ninja 2 the user see all in the field monitor (ninja 2) so the ninja star doesnt have monitor ...
can i see thru de 5d2 monitor and record in the ninja star hdmi ?
No you need a monitor between the recorder & camera as the Star has none.
The only camera that can have the Camera LCD on when connected to HDMI is the 5D3 with mirroring option enabled.
All other Cameras to my knowledge turn off LCD monitor when connected to HDMI
I pass though the HDMI from my 5D2 to Zacuto EVF to Ninja .
I don't use the Ninja to monitor , even thou I could I use the EVF instead.
More accurate.
