I just purchased the new Atomos Ninja V external monitor and recorder for my Nikon D850 but would also love to use it for the Mavic Pro 2. There is no HDMI out on the controller but hoping somone found a way around that with an adaptor or something. It would be awesome if DJI would team up with atomos in the future and be able to have it all compatible. I would have initially got the crystal sky but it doesnt have an HDMI input, so I couldnt use it with my Nikon D850.

Where is there a display port on your remote?

Ahhh never thought about that. I think the only solution is using crystal sky then use the HDMI out from crystal sky to the atomos ninja as an extra monitor

Yes but what will be the use of 2 monitors? I think the crystalsky should be enough.
Maybe you can plug the Atomos to your phone running dji go but you will record also the flight data.

Using two monitors I can show my client what is on the screen without them hovering behind my back looking at the controller. I can shoot in D-log but on the atomos ninja V, I can already have a colour grade LUT on the live feed so its not a dull flat image like on the DJI GO app. I just want full capability of the technology in front of me and let me have options for future projects. Doing Powerline inspections I can also have a second guy look at the screen for inspecting. Hmmm for plugging in the atomos to my phone will be tough too because I need the phone plugged into the controller simultaneously.

I bought a Ninja V too and also wanted to use it as a second monitor as well as being a better lit screen in the sun. Thought about Crystal Sky, but it’s quite expensive just for one purpose (the Ninja V is a little pricier but serves a lot more purposes, and feature packed. I use it for my Panasonic GH5).
Anyway, biggest issue I have with Crystal Sky is that it runs on a junk OS. Android is so inferior to iOS, it’s pathetic. We need an iPad mini with 1000 nits and we’ll be set.
So my solution is a cheap $20 wireless HDMI receiver, plugged into the Ninja V input. I AirPlay my phone’s screen (mirror) to the receiver and it displays on my Ninja V. It’s good for other stuff too, like TVs etc.

yeah crystal sky definitely needs a revamp. How much of a delay did you notice from your phone into your dongle? Also, did you splurge and get the anglebird atomX mini SSD? They were on backoder so I cheaped out and got a the Samsung 860EVO 1 TB SSD but not sure if it uses the most capability of the ninja V.

The delay is about 0.25 sec to half a second. I didn’t really test it and time it with slow motion video. But it’s actually not bad, very acceptable as a second monitor. As for flying with it, I wouldn’t unless it’s an easy open area flight.

I didn’t get the angel bird because it was all back ordered.
I got a 960Pro 1TB. I regretted it because I could’ve gotten a 860Evo 2TB for the same price? Any of those SSDs will be more than adequate for the Ninja V. The Ninja V is not gonna max out the 500 MB/s write speed.
The files from my GH5 bitrate is about 1800Mbps at 4K60p 10bit. That’s about 225MB/s.. these SSD can easily handle it.

Better idea would be to get the Smart Controller for die Mavic 2 which has an HDMI Output. But keep in Mind that you can't use the Atomos to record the footage in a ProRes file or something like that since the Smart Controller will output the live feed including all DJI Go App overlays

Bringing up old topic here and I run an inspire, but the Atmos Ninja V is great as a monitor to show you what your footage will look like with lut applied.  I personally find it very helpful in nailing exposure.  I would not buy it just as a monitor and there is really no benefit as a recorder.  I have it to use on other video cameras that are outputing a raw image so I can record in prores/dng.

incorrect. there is way to output from the smart controller JUST the camera view, at Full resolution. I'm doing a Video on it.
