Atomos Ninja Star Launches

Launched at NAB, the Ninja Star facilitates creatives who need to 'Record Apple ProRes on Board' camera rigs, such as Drones, RC Helicopters and other UAVs, or recording post production quality.
Atomos has also launched Atomos CFast 1.0 media (64GB and 128GB), custom HDMI cables as well as the inclusion of the CFast USB 3 reader in the box.
