Wandern Media & Ninja Ultra

Filmmaker and director of media production company Wandern House, Emma Bryceland-McCourt, has worked with Atomos products for many years. So, when she was given the chance to take a first look at the new Ninja Ultra and Atomos Connect module, it was an opportunity she couldn't refuse.

The picturesque Loch Lomond Lake in the Scottish Highlands seemed the ideal backdrop for Emma to put the Ninja Ultra through its paces. Even with plenty of natural sunlight, Emma was still able to clearly view her footage on the Ninja’s high-definition 1000 nit display. The Ninja Ultra is very portable, can be mounted on to hand-held rigs, yet above all lightweight, which means it is the perfect travelling companion.

The Ninja Ultra harnesses the existing built-in tools of the Ninja V but is more responsive thanks to the new AtomOS 11 operating system. “It has all the monitoring tools I know and love, but it’s faster with more features. When you team that with the Atomos Connect module, it’s a gamechanger,” said Emma.

The new RecordAssist feature enables Emma to work remotely, yet still have greater control over the footage she captures. It was because of this that she was able to take a moment to reflect on the beauty of ‘golden hour’ over the Scottish countryside. “I can dial in a time for my Ninja to record, and totally trust that it won’t miss the action,” she explained.

While recording takes place, the Atomos Connect module simultaneously sends proxy files via the cloud back to Emma’s studio. This means the postproduction process is quicker, as she can get a head-start editing the footage without having to wait for filming to finish. Excited to use the Ninja Ultra and Atomos Connect further, Emma said: “I can’t wait to do even more with this set-up and tap into its capabilities.”
